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

Blackmagic purchased DaVinci a few years back and have kept this premiere color grading and telecine system alive and well, as evidenced in the demo of the current DaVinci Resolve. The workshop was a delight also due to enthusiastic colorist and demo artist Rich Montez of LA’s Whipping Post Services. Rich’s love of grading, expertise, and respect for shows was evident...

Learning the Tools 5: The Trim Monitor

In this Premiere Pro tutorial, Andrew Devis demonstrates an invaluable and somewhat hidden tool in Premiere Pro which can speed up your editing significantly through the use of keyboard short-cuts to quickly and efficiently navigate your edit points and trim or edit them with great feedback and control. Although this tool can be used with the mouse, it really comes into its own when used with the keyboard, and so save you a great deal of time and effort.

Semi-automatic title and menu creation

These days I don’t get much time for real video production and editing, except for a couple of times a year I put my skills to use and produce recital DVDs for the parents of my daughter’s dance studio. I’m just finishing up one of these projects and I’d like to share a few ideas that might help you in your future projects.

changing FCP filters lengths partially applied

One particularly nice feature that Final Cut Pro allows you to do is to apply a filter to only part of a clip or a sequence nest. I find this particularly useful if I’m applying a non-realtime filter to a longer nest of clips and the filter effect will only happen for a very short time. Though I don’t use it a lot it can come in handy. I don’t want to lose the realtime playback for the entire clip when a small portion will only receive the filter.

A Fine Cut Video Essay: McCabe & Mrs. Miller

Since we have such a slew of interesting new movies being released these days (please note I cannot write with the Sarcastica font), one of the new aspects on this blog will be video essays about movies from the past. We are about to approach the 40th anniversary of the release of Robert Altman's western "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" in June. Remember when serious movies were released in the summer?

Let’s face it. Hollywood is a club. It’s not a secret society cultish thing that sacrifices baby goats or kids kind of club, but it does require that you "become a member." The simplest way to become a member is to have a current member vouch for you. The way to accomplish that has been one of the most debated topics since "taste great" or "less filling".

The mappable Avid Smart Tool button

Love it or hate it, the Avid Smart Tool that was introduced in Media Composer 5 is here to stay. It will continue to be refined and hopefully evolve as the software evolves but it’s worth noting there is a single, mappable button that can toggle the Smart Tool on and off.
