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

Why are we all worried Apple will abandon Us

January 5, 2011, 10:31 AM

There seems to be a constant panic among Final Cut Studio users that Apple is "going to abandon professional video" because it isn’t the first thing that Apple talks about at every press conference or event. But it shouldn’t be. Pro Apps are a relatively small – but highly profitable – division within Apple. True the focus is on iOS devices, which turns out to be a great thing for professional video because...

Colorista 2: Feel the POWER!

When I first started color correcting in FCP I used the built in 3-way color corrector. When it first was introduced in FCP 3, it is what first drew me to FCP. And I have been able to do quite a bit with it. But when Magic Bullet Colorista by Red Giant Software came out, and I was able to push the colors further than the 3-way...take things more to the extreme. And lately, while I have been glued to COLOR, there are many instances...

Editing: The Invisible Hands Behind the Scenes

Films have been edited for over 100 years and the craft has evolved considerably. The best editing is now honored each year by both the American Cinema Editors with their ACE Eddy Awards and the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences with the Oscar, but Chris Innis, ACE, Oscar winner for The Hurt Locker, noted that many of the great film editors such as Dede Allen ACE, Alfred Hitchcock’s editor George Tomasini ACE, Robert Wise, ACE, who edited the masterfully constructed Citizen Kane...

Editorial Bliss

Should you edit your own movie? This is a question I think needs to be asked more often. Some of the great directors never edit their own films and others do. Kevin Smith and Robert Rodriguez famously edit their own material, as does James Cameron, but he usually is on a team of editors with him. Steven Spielberg never edits his own films and relies on Michael Kahn as he has for 35 years with only 2 exceptions in his feature film career. Why would you want to work with an editor?

New Year New FCP Rumour

January 4, 2011, 10:36 AM

http://fcpdaily.com/2011/01/new-year-new-rumors-ne...

Today, French site HardMac released "intel" regarding the much anticipated new version of FCP. This rumor takes it one step further than previous claims, as it actually is reporting the version as beta testing with both Snow Leopard and Lion. HardMac predicts that the updated version should release sometime in March or April.....which would put it, oh yeah, just in time for NAB 2011.
