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

When you’re designing software you always have a "use case" or typical user in mind. For our Assisted Editing software I can pretty much name every person we had in mind when creating it. First Cuts was definitely made for me.

So it's been about a week and many are calling Apple's new Final Cut Pro X a failure. Is this premature? Let's take a look. To begin, it seems like everyone covering this needs to qualify how they use Final Cut Pro to explain their angle. Here’s mine...

Since Final Cut X was released a few weeks ago, there have been a large number of Final Cut Pro post-production professionals looking into other NLE options. Final Cut Pro X is a very different animal, and lacks specific FCP7 features that certain users require or demand.

Final Cut Pro X - sort-of news from Apple

Sam Johnson, a Post-Production Engineer in London just tweeted the following about a private (but on the record) Final Cut Pro X briefing held today by Apple with some of Apple's key enterprise contracts. Lots of "coming soons," which is sort of what we thought they were saying...

Avid vs. Apple - got Final Cut?

If you are a Final Cut Pro user Avid has a proposal for you. You can get Media Composer 5.5 with the Production Suite for the price of 995, so over 60% off the regular price! You will also get free Avid Media Composer for Final Cut Pro Users online training from Class on Demand (a 100 USD value) - however it will not be shipped with the software and may arrive at a later time. What's interesting is that Final Cut Pro X users are excluded from this offer.
