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

On June 30th at the X Games in Los Angeles, CA, Team Hot Wheels made history with one of the most daring stunts in the world: the Hot Wheels Double Loop Dare. Video editor Jeff Tober, a long time Avid and Final Cut Pro editor, and the team at Bandito Brothers filmed the stunt with a total of 36 RED EPIC, Canon DSLR, and Go Pro cameras and then edited the footage in Adobe Premiere Pro on an HPZ820 RED Edition workstation in less than three hours for posting on the Mattel website and YouTube.

In the world of content creation, nothing stands still for long. If you work in video production, you may be moving to a 4K or RAW video format. If you have a Creative Suite workflow, you may be considering a higher-resolution monitor with expanded color space. If you use an NLE, you may need to bump up the number of tracks or smooth your real-time scrubbing.

John Gilroy Edits 'The Bourne Legacy'

I spoke with John Gilroy as the film was getting its last postproduction touches prior to release. Asked about how the sibling bond affected the editor-director relationship, Gilroy says, "Our father was a writer-director, but he moved us out of Los Angeles to Upstate New York when we were small children. I believe his hope was that none of us would actually end up in the business. I think he was a bit surprised that we all gravitated, in one way or another, to his line of work.

Preference Manager best practices

http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/prefere...

Preference Manager is a useful tool for trashing preferences for a range of video editing applications including Avid, Premiere and all versions of Final Cut Pro. This wipes the user settings for your editing application and can fix a wide range of problems.However, having to set everything up again can be a chore. With a little bit of preparation in advance, you can ensure you never have to trash them again. Start with a stable foundation.

Don't have time to shoot? TK Time-Lapse has you covered with royalty-free HD and 2K footage. My hat goes off to all editors who can also shoot. I used to do both when I was just starting off, but that...
