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

Useful Tools for Editors: Clip Info Titler
October 29, 2010, 10:29 AM
http://www.studiodaily.com/blog/?p=4613
Here’s a simple little tool for Final Cut Pro from the folks over at Assisted Editing. Like many of their tools, Clip Info Titler is based on FCP’s ability to export and import XML files. It takes an XML of a bin full of clips and creates a sequence that includes a text overlay, reflecting data about those sequences, applied above each clip. At $99 it might sound expensive, since you could enter the data manually and create your own text overlay by hand.

One way to spruce up your editing application is through various plug-ins for effects filters, transitions and generators. Your options range from single-purpose filters, like Magic Bullet Colorista II and Digital Anarchy Beauty Box, to full suites, like Boris Continuum Complete or GenArts Sapphire. Such filters enhance the power of your favorite editing or compositing tool by connecting through an API...

These green lights control more than audio and video. Did you know that the visibility lights also have an effect on the behavior of the up/down arrow keys?

You’ll learn how to use this feature as well as what its benefits (and disadvantages) are compared to regular audio editing.
