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

Everybody knows the Timewarp only applies to video. But what if you want to change the speed of your audio as well? In this episode, we’ll do just that with the help of a couple of different AudioSuite plugins that come with Media Composer.

AppleInsider had an article on May 18, 2010 which was titled "Apple Scaling Final Cut Studio Apps to fit prosumers" which generated a ton of blogosphere panic. Even I was caught up in the rumor mongering here, reacting to a post I’d read on Twitter and then, after reading the AI piece, tweeting about it myself.

Avid Embracing Third Party Hardware?

May 27, 2010, 05:08 PM

What this seems to suggest is that the hardware barrier is soon to fall. One of the most common criticisms of Avid’s systems in the last few years has been the cost of proprietary hardware, while Final Cut Pro and Premiere have been supporting a wide range of low-cost I/O hardware.

Cutting in Footage From Another Sequence

OK...this is something that "Avid Editors" brag about all the time. They can load a sequence into the Viewer, and then click a toggle that will then show them that sequence on the timeline. The PROGRAM (or Canvas for you FCP peeps) timeline is replaced by the PREVIEW (or Viewer) sequence...

Founder/editor Hal Honigsberg’s output at chrome in Santa Monica, CA, runs the gamut from slick spots like high-end car commercials or a Jake Scott :60 featuring Visa’s relationship as a worldwide partner for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, to a music video that was recently installed as part of an exhibit at the Tate Modern.

Just Enough Effects

The latest Extreme Kellie was a fun piece to edit. I thought I would do another anatomy of an edit. Take you threw the edit as I went. The first I thing I did was find music. I chose two songs. The first one in the piece is O.N.E by Yeasayer.

For nine weeks, Chris Innis was embedded with director Kathryn Bigelow and the crew on the Jordanian locations of The Hurt Locker. "Just from the standpoint of shooting on location in the Middle East, this was a very difficult film to do," she says. "It was very trying for everybody." Innis was in Jordan because Murawski, originally hired by Bigelow, was exhausted from three years working on Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man series, and could not make the overseas commitment.
