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

The National Association of Broadcasters this week issued comments on the FCC’s decision to eliminate two reserved RF channels, amounting to 12 MHz of exclusive spectrum previously reserved as part of a compromise during the TV White Spaces proceeding. When broadcasters lost exclusive access to 10-20 channels in most major television markets, the FCC established the two reserved channels for ENG and other broadcast applications.

When a crew wraps on the shooting of a film, a cinematographer's work is still far from finished -- he has to color correct the whole thing.

While it’s typically actors and directors who get to enjoy the greatest amount of praise through any year in cinema, certainly one of the greatest aspects of the award season is the opportunity to take a deep look at the below-the-line work that’s done to make the great films as great as they are. In this spectrum, editors play an incredibly vital role, as many filmmakers would tell you that it’s in the cutting room that a movie is truly uncovered for what it is.

Blackmagic set to revolutionize the visual effect industry as they offer Fusion 7 at no cost. One of the industry's stronger visual effects and motion graphics software is available completely free of charge. Sound familiar?

You probably already know that Big Hero 6 and the latest Planet of Apes did surprisingly well. Does this indicate an upset in the best animated film and best visual effects categories on Oscar night? Will the latest How to Train Your Dragon, or Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar be left behind if VES serves as an augury in how Tinsel Town is assessing the worthiness VFX?

The Mac Pro and the 10.1 update to Final Cut Pro X are now over a year old. So using the same jobs as benchmarks, how far have we come with the combination?

One fundamental concept of Final Cut Pro X and its trackless timeline is Connected Clips. When editing clips outside of a Primary Storyline all clips must connect to something in the Primary Storyline and they move according to that parent clip. But you can, thankfully (and mercifully depending on your POV), move that connection point.

When director/producer Patrick Shen sought to give his audience a highly authentic listening experience for his new documentary feature film, In Pursuit of Silence, he turned to Sound Devices’ 633 Digital Recorder and 6-Input Field Production Mixer. The Sound Devices solutions fit the goal to convey his vision for the meditative film, which explores the value of silence and the implications of living in a noisy world.

You already have an audio interface for your computer, the mic plugs into the mic jack and the guitar plugs into the instrument jack. Then you get a great new device with connectors that don’t quite match what you’ve got. You find adapter that gets from point A to point B only to find that the audio that comes into your DAW is very quiet, or worse, distorted even at very low levels. You have just met the reality that audio levels come in a variety of standards. Here are some basics of those ...
