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

This week’s #PostChat: reprogramming your muscle
January 21, 2014, 07:54 PM

By Randi Altman Some people might argue that social media has made interaction less personal. But I don’t think anyone who participates in the weekly PostChat conversation on Twitter would take that stance. Wednesday nights from 9-10pm EST (6-7pm PST), a group of industry pros gather to follow #PostChat and talk about tools, techniques, trends […]

Blog: The future of post — one man’s vision
January 21, 2014, 01:45 PM

By Lucas Wilson Content is exploding, yet production and post production is crumbling. Those two statements put together make no sense if you’re stuck thinking about the market in the terms we all grew up with. The world of tentpoles and episodic television is doing what markets do: maturing, automating, and flowing to the lowest […]
What Hard Drive Should I Buy?
January 21, 2014, 11:07 AM
http://blog.backblaze.com/2014/01/21/what-hard-dri...
My last two blog posts were about expected drive lifetimes and drive reliability. These posts were an outgrowth of the careful work that we’ve done at Backblaze to find the most cost-effective disk drives. Running a truly unlimited online backup service for only $5 per month means our cloud storage needs to be very efficient and we need to quickly figure out which drives work.
Moving media in and between Libraries in Final Cut

There are some concepts that are easier to show with a live demo then reading about them, even with a lot of graphics included. This is one of them, moving media around in Final Cut Pro X.
