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

Solution to vertical video ‘problem’ - but wha

http://alex4d.com/notes/item/solution-to-vertical-...
Allen Murabayashi writing on PetaPixel: It’s clear that vertical video isn’t going away. Mobile-native content rules the day on mobile devices. But for people who want to shoot horizontally while holding vertically, there is a simple fix that manufacturers could make: Allow the camera to shoot horizontally in the vertical orientation by taking advantage of the fact that the sensor is more than large enough to accommodate this. The 8-megapixel iPhone6 camera has a pixel dimension of ...
Review: Logitech K400 wireless keyboard/trackpad (
August 17, 2015, 04:14 PM
http://www.provideocoalition.com/review-logitech-k...
The Logitech K400 is a combo wireless keyboard/trackpad with excellent build quality. The K400 competes well with Apple’s wireless keyboard, and does even more, at a fraction of the price. It’s well suited for editors, writers, and TriCaster operators. Compatibility of the K400 includes Boxee Box, ChromeOS, HTPC (Home Theater PC), Mac, Windows, and even NewTek TriCaster models. Ahead you’ll learn why I like the K400 more than the equivalent Apple pair of products, and why I had to go t...
After Effects Hidden Gems Weekly: Revealing Curved
August 17, 2015, 12:49 PM
http://www.provideocoalition.com/after-effects-hid...
A favorite motion graphics effect is wiping on an intricate, curved object (such as handwritten text) as if it was being painted or drawn. It would seem that animating a mask shape with a bit of feather or motion blur would be a good approach, but you can quickly get yourself tied into knots. The better approach is to use a Stroke effect to follow the lines and curves in the original, and then change its compositing mode to reveal instead of cover the original:
