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

What next for Final Cut Pro X?

July 7, 2014, 04:29 AM

http://alex4d.com/notes/item/what-next-for-final-c...

I was the guest on today's episode of the FCPX Grill podcast, part of my conversation with Chris Fenwick was about what the 10.1.2 update tells us about the future of Final Cut Pro X. It seems ungrateful to immediately start thinking about future versions of Final Cut. Even grateful users can't help but think about features and bugs they hoped Apple had paid attention to in the most recent update. It is worth considering now because Apple very rarely hints as to the future of their hardwa...

Photo: ZapTheDingbat License: Creative Commons Viral videos like the one from Dollar Shave Club are fun and entertaining, but can they sell products and services effectively? Absolutely. In our previous posts in this series, we’ve gone over the exploding demand for commercial video and the unique advantages that medium creates. Even with those compelling reasons, the thought of creating sales videos can seem intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be. You can tap into the key p...

Whether we like it or not, these days, tech is one of the most important aspects of business — even for businesses that aren’t primarily tech-focused. Hiring the perfect technical lead is crucial to your product’s success, but if you’re not a technical person yourself, finding that person can be tough.

I wish we could tell you that we knew what we were doing then – that all this was planned. But nothing was. We always recognized the power of the internet – to be a source and repository for information on filmmaking.

Lightworks: a Professional Editor for Free

July 3, 2014, 12:08 PM

A non-linear editor system praised by many of Holywood names, Lightworks is not on the top list of video editors, but that does not stop the creators from investing in a program that is popular in Windows and now can claim to be the first offering versions for Mac, Windows and Linux. Furthermore, there are recent public beta versions of the program to download, for the different platforms. So, why not give it a try?

New Mac Pro sits pretty in this custom desk

July 3, 2014, 09:42 AM

http://www.cultofmac.com/285553/mac-pro-custom-des...

The new Mac Pro, with its sleek cylinder design, has gotten a bad rap. While it’s light years from the bulky, ugly first generation and “built for creativity on an epic scale,” this ingenious machine, which Apple sells for between $2,999 and $3,999, looks like a common waste receptacle.

LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt 2 review

July 3, 2014, 09:42 AM

http://www.macworld.com/article/2361962/lacie-litt...

The Little Big Disk Thunderbolt 2 is the latest in desktop storage from LaCie. Inside the sleek black enclosure are two "blade" style PCIe SSDs that LaCie configures in a software RAID 0 to maximize the drive's speed and storage capacity. Past Little Big Disk models featured 2.5-inch laptop drives, but these newer SSD modules connected to the PCIe bus allows speeds faster than SATA III.

Take a group of dancers, three years and the ambition to push the boundaries of pole dancing and you have the ingredients for a good feature length documentary. It turned out that FCPX was the ideal tool for the edit.
