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

Libraries in Final Cut Pro 10.1

With the 10.1 release of Final Cut Pro X, Apple added a new way of organizing Events – Libraries. Some people are wondering how to effectively use Libraries in their workflow, so let’s take a closer look. Apple says Libraries “contain both projects and events in one place. Think of libraries as a way to […]

Jordana Berg, sobre editar con Coutinho y otras co

En el cine documental, y para ciertos realizadores -p.ej.: Eduardo Coutinho-, entre todo el material filmado, lo que más merece la pena son los momentos de "acontecimiento", esos en los que entre la realidad y el proceso fílmico quedan registrados como únicos y que cuentan un poco qué es el cine. En el cine de ficción también, se seleccionan momentos emotivos o de verosimilitud, personajes, localizaciones, destacables por algún motivo entre todo el material bruto filmado. Y en la vida...

12 things that show how small the Mac Pro really i

We've all heard that Apple's new Mac Pro is smaller than the old one. But to really get just how small it is, you need to see it in person—or at least next to something familiar. Here are a dozen household objects that will give you some perspective.

Time to come back with a look at photography – just for the fun of it. Earlier this year I talked about using Pixelmator as an alternative to Photoshop. When I work with photos, I prefer to use Lightroom, Aperture and/or Photoshop (in that order). For extra effects, a touch of Tiffen Dfx, DFT Film […]

Back At Dreamworks Animation TV

Unlike DreamWorks Animation, which sits inside a Renaissance-style Italian village beside the L.A. River, DreamWorks Animation TV is housed near the top of a skyscraper next to the 134 Freeway. I bopped through the facility today and found a few things out. (Emphasis on few.)

Kicking the Tires on Final Cut Pro X 10.1

December 20, 2013, 08:21 PM

Thursday was the big day that Apple Final Cut Pro X users have been waiting for for quite a while as FCPX 10.1 was released into the world … for free. I had been waiting for it to so after a rather painless update process, first to OSX Mavericks then to FCPX 10.1, I was up and rolling the morning of the release for a couple of days of editing. I wouldn’t call this update Earth-shaking, though there are some very welcome changes. But I wouldn’t call it inconsequential either because if ...

FCPX VERSION 10.1

While Apple’s Mac Pro won’t start shipping until February 2014, the free Final Cut Pro X update proves to be much less of a tease. So what’s new with Final Cut? Why the big hype over 4K video and does it matter? Should you update? This, and more, coming in February 2014.
