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

The video frame is a big, wide world. Often there’s a lot going on in there, and not all subjects within the frame can be treated equally.

Story Pop es un generador de títulos para Final Cut Pro X que simula la escritura en una pizarra, para lo que tiene 448 elementos diseñados con sus respectivas animaciones.El proceso es simple, aunque debe hacerse agregando un elemento por vez. Esto es, para escribir un texto hay que agregar tantos títulos como caracteres posea el mismo. A pesar de ello, se pueden conseguir buenos resultados en muy poco tiempo. Mucho menos de lo que tomaría animarlo en Motion o en After Effects.Además d...

Halloween's coming up, and we're looking for the best ways to transform into a terrifying creature of the night. Monster masks have been a longstanding horror effects tradition, and today's masks are more lifelike than ever. We visit the workshop of Immortal Masks to learn how the artists there sculpt, mold, cast, and paint amazing silicone masks that look and move realistically.

First broadcast in 1963, Doctor Who is one of the UK’s longest-running television shows. Its longevity is due in part to the unique ability of its hero – a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey – to regenerate his physical form, thus enabling successive actors to inherit the iconic role as the decades roll past.

Render with FFmpeg directly from After Effects. Get much more codecs than After Effects offers you, for example ProRes in Windows!
