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 Quick Tip – Freeze Frames and Title Styles

December 20, 2012, 09:28 PM

http://www.audiomicro.com/royalty-free-music-blog/...

As editors, two of the items we deal with quite often are titles and freeze frames. Each NLE has their way of creating them. Some are easy to use while others may be a bit complicated to deal with. In Premiere Pro, it has its own way of dealing with freeze frames and titles. As of writing, I know 2 ways that are possible to create freeze frames in Premiere Pro. I’ll discuss the best practices for using those more in this article.

"Anything that will improve our final image is appreciated. 32-bit float precision color rendering makes upgrading well worth it, not to mention a host of new filters and transitions and the inclusion of the Beat Reactor for Premiere Pro. If you have never used FEC, I suggest taking a good look at it. You'll be pleasantly surprised."

Why you will benefit from watching the sessions

December 20, 2012, 08:16 AM

http://joyoffilmediting.com/index.php/archives/518...

The subject of The Sessions - a paralyzed poet hiring a sex surrogate to lose his virginity - may make you writhe at the thought of a touchy-feely film. Go anyway. While the movie doesn't have the laughs that Steve Carrell and Katherine Keener served up in The Forty Year Old Virgin, it does deliver...

I’ve gotten a lot of questions recently on USB 3 vs. Thunderbolt, so I wanted to share what I’ve learned. (By the way, I updated this to provide clarity on USB 3 speeds.)
