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

Locking Fonts in Final Cut Pro X

Why would you want to "lock" a font? That's a question we tackle in this week's MacBreak Studio, where I show Steve Martin from Ripple Training how you can do exactly that. With the integration between Final Cut Pro X and Motion, it is a common scenario for a...

USB vulnerability “fix” includes using epoxy

October 8, 2014, 04:33 AM

http://www.slashgear.com/usb-vulnerability-fix-inc...

The BadUSB vulnerability first detailed at Black Hat was just recently released to the public after a couple hackers reverse-engineered it and published on Github. That move was believed to be necessary for prodding manufacturers to come up with a solution, but it had the added effect of leaving USB users vulnerable. A patch will be difficult, it is believed, but until then a "fix" for the issue has been published that doesn't so much solve the vulnerability as it does remove certain avenues for...

Thoughts On HitFilm

October 8, 2014, 04:29 AM

http://www.filmmakingstuff.com/hitfilm/

HitFilm provides numerous advantages over some of the free editing solutions that make it a much more capable and complete editing suite. HitFilm provides the ability to have multiple video and audio tracks. This flexibility alone makes HitFilm much better suited to professional editing then iMovie. Multiple tracks allows for such editing practices as easy J and L cuts, which might not sound like a big deal but in fact can have a huge impact on the flow of editing.

The Challenge of Editing Eleanor Rigby

October 7, 2014, 01:03 PM

http://www.indiewire.com/article/the-challenge-of-...

It's not uncommon for an editor to create multiple versions of a film prior to the one that the general public gets to see in theaters. What is uncommon, though, is for each of those multiple versions to reach the big screen. That's the unique experience Kristina Boden enjoyed editing "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby," writer/director Ned Benson's story of a married couple (played by Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy) torn apart by tragedy.
