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

Want to know more about the effects within FCPX? Or maybe you want to know how important metadata is within Final Cut Pro X? These set of videos will get you up to speed.

FCPX on the iPad

Whoa! hang on, don't spit your coffee out, this isn't a standalone Final Cut Pro X app running on an iPad, it's actually FCPX running remotely. We've seen this before but here Matts Macintosh shows us how well the GUI would work if FCPX was an iPad app. Interesting and frightening.

Happy 4th of July

Just wanted to wish all the video editors in the United States a happy and safe fourth of July. Go celebrate America's birthday by spending time with the family, having cookouts, and lighting up some fireworks. That's actually a good time to whip out the video camera and take some test video for Final Cut ...

How FCP X will really matter to India

I bought and downloaded FCP X the day it was launched. And now I'm reading the manual and watching training videos to get the funda behind FCP X. It's taking time because FCP X is a whole new app. It does a whole new set of things in totally new ways. Its almost like how I made the transition from Steenbeck to linear tape editing to editing on a computer (first Avid, then FCP)...

AJA Hi5 3D

This little USD500 box is worth it's weight in gold. In fact, I give the Hi5 3D the Negative Spaces Gold Star Award of Excellence (whatever the hell that is). This is the perfect solution for combining the signals from 2 cameras for output to a stereo display.

An Update About PluralEyes and FCPX

I've been a big fan of PluralEyes since I first met Bruce Sharpe (its inventor) at Podcast Expo (nearly five years ago). We use this product for both multi-camera projects and DSLR sync sound workflow.

Two big software updates have recently dropped. Red Giant Software released version 11 of Magic Bullet Suite including a new product in the suite called Cosmo. Meanwhile Blackmagic has begun shipping the big version 8 update to DaVinci Resolve.

FCPX and Long overdue logic of Evaluation

July 3, 2011, 09:55 AM

http://www.mikejones.tv/journal/2011/7/3/fcpx-and-...

The much wailing and gnashing of teeth that has followed the release of FCPX seems to me like a long overdue dose of sanity and rational logic. A return to a proper workflow appraisal of available tools rather than the sycophantic ignorance that i have seen dominate the better part of the past decade.

FCPX tip: Making edit points non-crossfadable

July 3, 2011, 09:53 AM

http://alex4d.wordpress.com/2011/07/03/fcpx-tip-no...

When you apply video transitions in Final Cut Pro X, it also applies an audio crossfade that lasts the same time. There is no option to turn this feature off. This can be a problem for tight interview edits.

Introducing: After Effects Script of the Week

July 2, 2011, 01:32 PM

http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/mchristians...

The most recent edition of After Effects Studio Techniques included a new sidebar category: scripts. Over the past several years since it was introduced in After Effects 6.0 , scripting in After Effects has gone from a hidden feature set that a few nerds played around with to reduce tedious tasks, to scripts that provide substantial feature additions in After Effects.
