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

EVOLUTION AND BURNOUT

June 24, 2011, 08:47 AM

http://www.elskid.com/blog/evolution-and-burnout

My agent got in touch recently about an article that I might or might not have written on here about how to deal with burnout. I've sort of touched on this on a number of occasions because I've definitely suffered from it myself and it's not very pleasant. Wikipedia defines it as a psychological term for...

As the world of post-production enters dramatic changes as of this late June 2011, Dennis Kutchera looks at the inevitable flux of new technology and what really works for the editing professional and offers some intelligent solutions for a not-yet obsolete workflow.

Thank You Apple

In 2000 when I opened the doors to Biscardi Creative Media my realistic three options for an NLE were Avid, Media 100 and Final Cut Pro. Obviously I went with Final Cut Pro in large part because of the cost, though it still cost me almost USD30,000 to build an entire suite from nothing. I have proceeded to use that tool right up until today, some 11 years. What Apple did over that time was to rely on third party developers to come up with video cards so...

FCPX - The Disconnect

June 24, 2011, 08:42 AM

The uproar about FCP X is mainly caused by the disconnect between Apple's view of FCP and that of many of its professional users... I've created a very simple (and imprecise) graph to try and represent that. The numbers are made up but are intended to illustrate the broad point about the difference in perspectives about what the product is.

FCPX - The Car

I've been struggling for the last couple of days to find a reasonable way to contextualize the decision Apple has made, in terms of broadcast editing, with some other less niche analogy. A car analogy always cuts through the confusion, so I think I've come up with one.

Syncing Audio with FCPX

When FCPX was first announced, one of the features they touted was an easy way to sync audio to footage. When using a DSLR this can take a lot of time and is often a pain.

Blog: Apple ships FCP X, defends position

June 23, 2011, 03:16 PM

I met with some folks from Apple yesterday, just a day after Final Cut Pro X was released, and almost as soon after the new release started coming under fire. "Judd" and "Luke" are both well versed in FCP X's new features and provided a pretty compelling demonstration showing why FCP is well suited for broadcast and independent film work.

Transition: Move FCP Project to Adobe Premiere

As we look elsewhere for another NLE to take over where Final Cut Pro 7 leaves off, I'll be posting a series of entries detailing what we're doing, what we're looking at and ultimately why we made the decision we made.

FCPX Opinions

June 23, 2011, 03:13 PM

After months of waiting, Apple has finally unveiled the new version of FCP. FCP renamed X, the new software is first and foremost, that, again. And yes, new things are fine, but what about the old wives are also necessary? (In Spanish)

Final Cut Is Dead. Long Live Final Cut.

Apple's Final Cut Pro is the leading video-editing program. It's a USD1,000 professional app. It was used to make "The Social Network," "True Grit," "Eat Pray Love" and thousands of student movies, independent films and TV shows. According to the research firm SCRI, it has 54 percent of the video-editing market, far more than its rivals from Adobe and Avid.
