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

Review of PluralEyes - for Synchronization

Is it a application, is it a plug-in, does it pound through your syncing frustrations as a train through a balsa-wood blockade? Actually, it is all these things. Singular Software has come out with PluralEyes, now in its 1.2 version, which provides automatic synchronization with or without time code enabling you to sync your multiple audio and video layers seamlessly.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Six Months Later

My, how time flies! Can it really be six months since CS5 was released? Shortly prior to the official release, I was offered the opportunity to briefly test-drive a beta version of the Master Collection CS5 suite (see that article here). It sure looked tantalizing. But being a beta and available to me for only a limited time, it left many questions. Having by now done many HD projects in CS5 and closely followed the lively discussions on our CS5 users on our Adobe Creative Suite forum...

Blend Modes in Adobe Premiere Pro

As a motion graphics artist, one of our favorite tricks to enhance an uninspiring clip is not to use effects, but instead to combine it with other clips using Blend Modes (also known as Blending, Composite, or Transfer Modes). Modes provide simple, high-quality ways to drop out the black or white background in a clip, enhance its saturation and contrast, give it a tint, and add lighting effects or a filmic glow in post.

An Interview with Jill Bilcock ASE

November 19, 2010, 11:41 AM

http://www.screeneditors.com/news_&_events/186.htm

John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester (April 1, 1647–July 26, 1680) was a friend of King Charles II, and the writer of much satirical and bawdy poetry. He was the toast of the Restoration court and a patron of the arts who famously drank and debauched his way to an early grave, only to earn posthumous critical acclaim for his life's work.

BILCOCK, JILL – THE LIBERTINE

November 19, 2010, 11:39 AM

http://www.urbancinefile.com.au/home/view.asp?a=12...

Having completed the edit on Catch A Fire for Phil Noyce*, Jill Bilcock is ensconced in an edit suite at England’s Shepperton Studios when she picks up the phone to talk about working on The Libertine. A duck had just laid eggs outside the room, having nested in a gutter. Bilcock walks past sheep each morning at 8am to get to the edit room, a windowless, charmless space where the pride of place is occupied by her Lightworks editing gear. "I’m one of the last editors left to use this gear,".....

Avid Screencast #47: Audio Basics VII – Effe

November 19, 2010, 11:28 AM

In this last episode in the audio series, I’ll show you how to apply audio effects in Media Composer and a couple of neat real-world tips (like limiting you master output) that will hopefully help you out one day or another. You should know what a compressor/limiter is, how it works and how you set it up. This website explains it — don’t be fooled by its gruesome looks (after all, it was designed by an audio guy):

ARRI ALEXA post, part 3

November 19, 2010, 11:25 AM

http://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/2010/11/18/arri-...

Thanks to Avid Media Access (AMA), the Media Composer application starting with version 5 can natively handle Apple ProRes media. This means you can bring in files from an ARRI ALEXA and immediately start editing. But ProRes 422 (HQ) or ProRes 4444 might be more taxing than you want to deal with on a long project, so I’m going to outline a suggested workflow for an ALEXA project using Avid Media Composer 5.
