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

Another new use for markers is with multiclips. Before creating a multiclip, you can review the individual clips you are about to edit. Add markers and marker comments. Assign colors to indicate something special about that marker.

People often look at films and videos as form of entertainment. However films are often used to communicate and connect with others. Directors often use film to covey their own personal ideas or themes. Films can resonate with the audience on an emotional level, that we can then share with others. Even controversial topics often bring [...]

Why isn't Find Bin working?

This is a tricky question but I will try to answer it as best as I can. Find Bin is supposed to allow you to find the original bin of the clip or sequence loaded in the source monitor. However, if that clip originally existed in another project before being used in the current project...

A few weeks back I was invited on set of a student project. My friend, Leo, is the male actor in the commercial. I joined him just for moral support, and then the opportunity to edit RED footage for the first time came up so Idefinitely pounced on that Idea. I had some struggles in the [...]
