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

For everybody who has been waiting patiently (and otherwise) for what I did after my "I'm done with Drobo" article, today's the day. I'm so sorry that it's taken this long, but I was waiting for the last piece of my backup strategy puzzle to be complete, but that's taken so long that I'm just going to go ahead and write it from where it stands now, so here goes.

If you render a lot of video for the web, YouTube, or Blu-Ray, then I'm sure waiting for your videos to render so you can distribute them is one of the most annoying parts of your day.

In talking about my upcoming editing course debuting in October, friends suggested that I write down the most serious misconceptions about editing.

One of the lesser known editing features of FCPX is the secondary storyline. So what are they and how and when would you want to use one? Our usual duo are on the case.
