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

Tapeless TV Workflow for Childrens Hospital

October 31, 2010, 02:01 PM

Childrens Hospital debuted in 2008 as a web series on TheWB.com before coming to Adult Swim this summer. Bringing it to television meant planning a workflow that would preserve the creative energy that made the online version a success while bringing the property to a much larger audience. That responsibility fell to North Hollywood's J/KAM Digital, which cut the show in HD on Mac-based Avid Media Composer Nitris DX systems and finished it on the Symphony Nitris DX. Film & Video talked about...

The Secrets of the Right-Pointing Arrow

A great deal of the look of the Timeline is controlled from an itty-bitty, teeny-tiny, right-pointing arrow at the bottom of the Timeline. It is certainly not obvious, so look closely just to the right of the four-column track height bar chart.

Editing and The Social Network

This week I took in The Social Network – the movie. I give it a rave for four main reasons: acting, pacing of the editing, writing, and social commentary. The movie reminds us how fast and furiously Mark Zuckerbergthe times are-a-changing as it turns the recent emergence of Facebook into instant history.

Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Plagiarism

If you follow my blog, you probably know that I’m working with Red Giant Software these days. That was a choice I didn’t even have to think hard about. The opportunity to work with guys like Peder Norrby and Stu Maschwitz, the creative geniuses behind Trapcode and Magic Bullet respectively, was just too good to ignore. Here are two people who truly understand us (the users), and who spend a ginormous amount of time and energy working to bring us something amazing and original and often...

Can you manipulate the 3D positioning of video tracks in 3D space? You can do this in a couple of different ways in Vegas Pro 10. First, you can use the 3D track and parent compositing tools that have been included in Vegas Pro for several versions.
