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

3 Reasons Vulnerability Will Elevate Your Craft

This week I posted perhaps the most personal and vulnerable piece of content I’ve ever publicly shared online. It’s part 2 of my “Of Fathers & Filmmaking” episode of my podcast “Radio Film School.” In it I talk about how my relationship with my dad planted the seed for me to become a filmmaker. I talk about being the older son of a single mom during my formative years. And I have a particularly vulnerable moment I debated including in the show.

A look at the evolution of Hollywood end credits

In the beginning, Hollywood end credits were simple: "The End" or simply "End" and then a blank screen. And then things changed. Drastically.

A computer environment, all work should be saved, backed-up to three locations. Work should be done without corruption. I tell people sometimes the toughest part of operating a computer is to know when it is functioning correctly or incorrectly. It is my job to know and figure out the fastest way necessary to get the computer back to functioning.

Robert Hardy, nofilmschool reviews PDFviewer. PDFviewer will be the best utility in your editing arsenal. You can open any PDF file inside the Adobe Premiere Pro interface. This will save you countless hours of switching back and forth to other applications and resizing the Adobe Premiere Pro interface. Great for Scripts, Transcriptions, Storyboards and Script Notes. On top of all that its green. Save a Tree!

Automatic Duck Ximport AE can import media files with alpha channels into After Effects and set the alpha channel interpretation correctly, but it needs to know how to set the alpha interpretation and by default this information is not exported by Final Cut Pro X.

Review: Resolve 12 - The Editor

My theory is that, a few years ago, Blackmagic Design realised that Resolve was turning into a Non-Linear Video Editor – almost by accident.
