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

Apple's 2012 iMacs took a long time to be announced, then the 21.5" version was promised for November, and today (the last day of November) it is finally available, while the larger 27-inch version is at least capable of being ordered now. Most pro video users who consider it will likely prefer a BTO (built-to-order) version, which is available either directly...

G-RAID with Thunderbolt Drive Review

http://www.videoguys.com/Blog/E/G+RAID+with+Thunde...

Not only am I the face of the Audioholics product review videos, I also have the job of editing them together. That's sort of my niche: editing video. And now that everything shoots in HD and the smallest video file can take up over a gig--sorry, gigabyte--hard drive space is a commodity that is both increasingly cheap yet even more increasingly in demand. I recently switched away from a Mac Pro tower to a faster iMac, but with that came a loss of four hard drive slots...

Welcome to the bigger better HD Warrior, it's takes two years to establish ourselves and I think the new look is fantastic, though I am biased.

Adobe Premiere Pro Quick Tip - 2 Methods

November 30, 2012, 12:19 PM

http://www.audiomicro.com/royalty-free-music-blog/...

For those of you who are Final Cut Pro 7 switchers or just new to Premiere Pro altogether, here are 2 methods for dealing with audio in Premiere Pro. The first method is for Final Cut Pro 7 switchers who want to have their audio on track 1/2 in their timeline. The second method is dealing with one track of audio in the timeline but changing it so that strongest or desired channel is heard as if it were recorded as stereo audio. Let's get to it.
