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

CS6 Quicktip: Matte Remover Presets

One of the things about using motion graphic elements is their ability to drastically change the appearance of your footage. For example, I can have a clip of a woman break dancing in a studio, which is a good piece of stock footage. If I were to drop a motion graphic clip of blinking lens flares or perhaps an abstract grunge clip vignette, it would definitely spice things up a bit.

Will Post Houses and DITs Be Extinct by 2017?

January 2, 2013, 01:18 PM

The media management and quality control handled by the digital imaging technician and post house is nearly universally vital in modern filmmaking, where each digital camera brings its own varying formats, workflows, and quirks. This need for DITs and post houses, however, may evaporate just as quickly as it has arisen — at least according to the predictions of Michael Cioni.

Premiere Pro: Working with Markers

January 2, 2013, 01:14 PM

http://www.macprovideo.com/hub/premiere/premiere-p...

When editing in Premiere Pro or other NLE, markers are a big part of working smarter and not harder. Markers are a great tool for making notes, marking sync points, and creating chapter markers for Adobe Encore. In Premiere Pro there are three type of markers (Comment, Chapter and Web Link), and we will look at the first 2 types here. So let’s jump in and see how markers work and the improvements to markers in CS6 from CS 5.5.
