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

Looking at timecode, how can I tell drop frame

This questions used to get me every time until someone (I can't remember who or I would give credit) told me drop frame is a semicolon because you "dropped" a period. (You dropped the period and have a comma instead, get it?)  Meaning non drop frame could only be a colon.   Good luck remembering!

My Mac Pro problem, revisited

Last month I wrote about my Mac Pro problem. Short version: my 2006 Mac Pro tower couldn't be upgraded to Mountain Lion, so I needed to get a new computer. After weighing the various options, I decided to buy the new retina MacBook Pro for Ryan Nelson — who does all the graphics for us — and use his 2011 MacBook Pro as my main computer.
