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

It was a few weeks ago that Avid shipped another update to Media Composer, this time moving 5.0 to 5.5. It wasn't the huge update that we saw in 5.0 but it continues to add features and bug fixes across the application.

In today's tutorial we will explore advance motion tracking techniques. Stabilizing your video will allow you to add special effects to a video without having to track each individual effect. Basically this gives you the ability to make a handheld shot appear to be filmed on a tripod and reversed back to a handheld.

After years of being pushed aside as "impossible" and "pseudo-science" we at Sorenson Media have finally perfected the revolutionary Enhance Filter. Picture this: you get a video that looks like it was shot by a video surveillance camera from the 1970s and compressed several hundred times.

You see those bumper stickers all the time. Doesn't really matter what they say but the premise is this – My —– is better than your —–. This passive aggressive showboating isn't lost on other motorists and those in a position to do so, retaliate with their own displays of "mine is better than yours".

Maximum...Max. I’m talking the Matrox MAX system...the H.264 encoding engine in their MXO2 with MAX product line, and the CompressHD card. You might have thought that this only worked on the APPLE stuff...Compressor and FCP. But no...it works on the Avid Media Composer side too. Because the Matrox MXO2 Mini is designed to work as a monitoring option for MC5.
