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

Just Over the Fence (feat. Brian Russell)

http://digitalcinemacafe.com/2014/01/27/fcg017-exp...

A brand new user of FCPX, Brian Russell is the first guest we’ve had that never used 10.0.X. Brian held out on Final Cut 7 up until the release of 10.1 and inside of one month only has a list of 41 things he would like to see changed, but in this episode we actually knock that down a bit. Brian surely represents what I predict will be a growing demographic of users that switch to FCPX now that we have version 10.1

FCG016 – Exploring Metadata (feat. Jon Chappell)

January 24, 2014, 06:06 AM

http://digitalcinemacafe.com/2014/01/24/fcg016-exp...

Metadata has been a huge topic of discussion since day one of Final Cut Pro. What is metadata, why do you need it, how can we use it to our advantage. In this episode we explore some uses of metadata in a modern workflow and begin am exploration that will surely be revisited time and time again. Jon Chappell also represents the first ever vendor we’ve had on the show but make sure you listen to the disclaimers.

FCPX 10.1 Beat Down (feat. Scott Simmons)

January 20, 2014, 05:46 AM

http://digitalcinemacafe.com/2014/01/20/fcg015-10-...

A brutally honest look at Final Cut Pro X. We try very hard not to be seen as “Fan Boys” at FCPX Grill so, ss we are known to do from time to time we take the gloves off and are completely honest and frank about misgivings and short comings of the application. Scott Simmons is extremely well versed in Avid, Adobe and Final Cut, both X and Classic. Because of this has a unique ability to see thru the hype, Scott can ask questions about functionality that very few people can.
