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

Batch process file names with applescript

Just now I found myself with an angry Nuke install that wouldn't recognize quicktimes unless they ended with ".mov" I have a few hundred linked files at this point, and thankfully most of them weren’t in nuke yet. What did I do? Well I mentioned finder "scripting menu additions" before, but this time I opened one up and tweaked it just a tiny bit to make it much much faster for the specific job I had to do.

Donkey noise in After Effects?

August 16, 2011, 09:06 AM

http://blog.youdownwithfcp.com/2011/08/15/donkey-n...

I may be going crazy (probably in fact) but last night I was up super late rendering a bunch of things out of After Effects and for some reason they were all failing. I had 5 or 6 renders fail, and then right before bed one of them failed and it made a really loud donkey whinneying noise. Has anyone else ever heard that? Is it an easter egg, or an "undocumented feature"

Appraising titles and credits

I picked movies and mini-series for my judging category for the upcoming 2011 Emmy's. This is the most time-consuming category to judge since you're required to watch the entire show but I wanted to see Mildred Pierce and a few other shows that I'd missed. I'll blog about the show I chose for best editing...
