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

Colorista 2: Feel The Power

January 3, 2011, 10:02 AM

http://lfhd.net/2011/01/02/colorista-2-feel-the-po...

When I first started color correcting in FCP I used the built in 3-way color corrector. When it first was introduced in FCP 3, it is what first drew me to FCP. And I have been able to do quite a bit with it. But when Magic Bullet Colorista by Red Giant Software came out, and I was able to push the colors further than the 3-way...take things more to the extreme. And lately, while I have been glued to COLOR, there are many instances when I can’t use it.

Dynamic link allows you to use the power of Premiere Pro in After Effects, but is often misunderstood and consequently under-used. In this tutorial Andrew Devis explains the basics of dynamic link and then show you how to create a new PP sequence that is the same size as your AE composition and then how to import a PP sequence into AE to use as any other footage item without having to render it out first from PP. Andrew also demonstrates how to use and update Photoshop...

Media Management Tips

Media management is one of the first steps to successful editing. Without proper organization, your media files can be difficult to find, and that winning shot may be forever lost amongst the clutter. One way to keep your search time to a minimum from within the video-editing application, is by using bins.

Earlier this week, I did a post about the great editor Dede Allen, and since then I’ve seen more online tributes for a behind-the-scenes film person than ever before (except, of course, for a director). It’s been great to learn so much about her accomplishments and legacy. Here’s some Some Facts About Dede that I never knew until this week:

Her impact is enormous, however, as she edited many wonderful and important films, such as Serpico, The Hustler, Dog Day Afternoon, and others. I’d like to show scenes from three of them.
