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

January 14, 2022, 08:29 AM

http://www.philiphodgetts.com/2022/01/synthesizing...

I became aware of Synthesia.io when researching my articles on Amplified Creativity. More accurately when I was updating my article just before publication three months later, and I had to rewrite my “three years out” prediction for something like the Synthesia service, because it became a reality within that three month window! Yesterday I became […] The post Synthesizing Human ‘Performance’ first appeared on The present and future of post production business and technology.

January 14, 2022, 08:28 AM

https://postperspective.com/review-digital-anarchy...

By Brady Betzel One of the most underpromoted features in nonlinear editing is editing from a script. Avid Media Composer’s ScriptSync has been the gold standard for years. Over the past few years, as AI-based transcription has become more popular, there have been a few other options popping up. Recently, Adobe Premiere Pro has added AI-based transcription included in the cost of the Creative Cloud price.
