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

Watercolour on paper is a popular motion graphics style. For my latest experiment while playing with the Foam and Turbulent Displace effects, I started zeroing in on a watercolour look, that while still rough is pretty convincing.

migrating settings from After Effects CC (12.0) to

When you install the After Effects CC (12.1) update, the application will use default settings for preferences, workspaces, output module templates, render settings templates, interpretation rules, and compositions settings templates. The After Effects CC (12.0) settings that you may have modified are still on your computer, though. You can manually copy them to the correct place for After Effects CC (12.1) to use them, as long as you are also careful to change the version number in the fil...

How to get text and graphics from After Effects in

November 14, 2013, 05:46 AM

http://blogs.adobe.com/kevinmonahan/2013/11/14/how...

As an editor, I’ve never been totally satisfied with native NLE titling tools. Sure, they’re great for down and dirty lower thirds, but I always end up wanting to animate certain elements of a line of text or some graphics using a dedicated titler or motion graphics package. Using Premiere Pro, you can use dynamic link to get material from After Effects into Premiere Pro. Why not? After Effects is the single greatest tool for creating dynamic titles and motion graphics. Most people looki...

The VFX Supervisor In Your Head

Here’s how the human eye works. Light enters a hole in the front, passes through a lens and is focused on a light-sensitive surface at the back – the retina. A camera works in much the same way, but instead of a retina it uses either a charge-coupled device or a strip of film.
