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

Well, Final Cut Pro X is out, and the reception has been, well, less than stellar. Macworld gives it 3 1/2 stars. Slashdot asks is it Apple's biggest mistake in years? It has been getting poor comments from Tech Crunch and is not even reviewing well on the iTunes store.

Given that Final Cut Pro X is so heavily built on metadata, I thought this article was relevant. Although Godin is talking about the metadata we leave behind as we work or play across the Internet (and our purchase history)...

It appears that Apple listened on one point (which is great). The software updates have been restored to Apple's website. Previously, many just pointed to the Mac App store to buy Final Cut Pro X. You were able to run the update through Software Updater, but it was difficult to access the files for backup.

Last Tuesday, Apple released Final Cut Pro X — a statement, which does not come as a surprise to the post community. However, what has stunned many of us since then was HOW they released it.

There's a lot of angry people out there. Final Cut Pro X has disappointed many of the Pro editors and the atmosphere is poisonous. A few positive voices can be heard amongst an ocean of despair. Is the criticism justified - or are many editors simply adverse to change? The coming weeks and months will reveal a great deal.

In case anyone is interested in my take on the release of Final Cut Pro X, here it is. First, let me say this first article is just about the release, and not about the software itself. I promise that henceforth I will focus on the actual FCPX software and forget all the hullabaloo.

Believe it or not, there's a lot more to applying audio FX in Premiere Pro than at first glance may seem the case. For example, you can apply audio FX both to single clips AND to a whole track - which can save you a great deal of time and effort IF you know how to do it! In this short tutorial, Andrew Devis demonstrates how to apply audio FX both to clips and to tracks as well as go through some of the basic settings to get you started - including Pre and Post fader options and presets.
