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

Digital image technology took another step forward with a demonstration earlier this month on The Lot in West Hollywood. At the event, post-production house Hollywood DI, Sony Electronics and Blackmagic Design showed for the first time the processing of the Sony F65 camera's RAW and SRFile footage using Blackmagic Design's DaVinci Resolve software.

Late in 2011 Adobe announced it had acquired a number of assets from IRIDAS. One of those assets is the color grading application SpeedGrade. This is a good thing because, with the demise of Apple Color, that leaves Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve as pretty much the only affordable, powerful, standalone color-grading software.

If you're looking for a sane and reasoned comparison of Media Composer 6 and Final Cut X — from the real world of the editing room trenches — look no further than the latest edition of Kanen Flowers' "That Post Show" podcast. I was a participant, along with Scott Simmons, Paul del Vecchio and Kanen...

In this tutorial, David shares a simple workflow he uses to prepare finished video files for non-broadcast delivery. Using these tools and settings, he's able to create master files that look better than their edited source, and encoded...

Two types of choice make up the storytelling world of today: The first is the creator's choice: the choices that we as content creators make to build the world of the story we're telling. The second is the audience's choice: limitless, and changeable at the click of a mouse or swipe of a finger. The...

Here's another summary of the last week or so of some news on After Effects tutorials, plug-ins, and scripts—including new plug-ins, scribble and write-on, Motion 5, a few "Best of" roundups, and more. Please note that these roundups are for quick review and comparison, and that there is almost always vital information from the originating authors at the links provided—and often free presets, projects, or stock footage too.
