To The Aotg.com Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.

Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.

We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.

Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.

Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!

Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

MATROX Convert DVI PLUS

I received the Matrox Convert DVI Plus just the other day and it was like Christmas. It came to my office and everyone gathered around to see what was in the plain brown box. When I opened the box, this is what we found. The Matrox box was graphically pleasing and inviting us to open the box further. I opened the box up as quickly as I could, thus revealing what came in the box with the Matrox Convert DVI Plus product...

Computerworld - Western Digital's HGST subsidiary may not have picked the best time to have a breakthrough in hard-disk drive innovation. After a decade of trying, HGST recently perfected a method to seal helium gas inside drives. The company is preparing to launch a line of hard drives filled with the gas, which it says will drastically reduce internal friction and thus lower power consumption...

Trimming Tips in Premiere Pro CS6

October 1, 2012, 03:11 PM

http://www.macprovideo.com/hub/premiere/trimming-t...

When editors talk about trimming, they are talking about shortening clips, or trimming away the unneeded parts of the raw footage. This is the process of going through your footage, finding the good bits (Setting Ins and Outs), then fine tuning them in the timeline with the Ripple, Roll, Slip, and Slide tools.

Adobe Anywhere for Video

October 1, 2012, 09:51 AM

http://blogs.adobe.com/VideoRoad/2012/10/adobe-any...

I've been quiet about a new technology coming from Adobe, called Anywhere for Video, not because I didn't have anything to say. Rather, I've been trying to keep the excitement to myself until the time was right. Every time I get to play with the technology, I end up giggling hysterically, since my brain keeps trying to tell me what I'm doing shouldn’t be possible.
