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

Ever since the release of Final Cut Pro X, many editors and post-production companies have be wondering what program they should switch to from FCP7. A professor at The Pacific Northwest College of Art created a 45-minute video going over the pros and cons of using FCPX and Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. What software do you...

"Videotape recording is very useful in television broadcasting but editing it is not as easy as editing motion picture film." So began the 1967 SMPTE paper of a team from Japanese broadcaster NHK that included engineers Yasushi Fujimura, S.Iwamura, Aogu Matsumae, Tsuguo Ohtani, and K.Matsuoka. It described 'an automatic video tape editing splicing system that had successfully been used to cut 84 programs.

The guys have fun this week talking about media management in FCPX and how one menu command can solve a lot of problems. You'll have to watch the video to discover how Elvis and 'Poser Media' get a mention.
