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

Do you create metadata for your online videos, either by hand or by an automated process? If not, you're throwing search engine traffic away without ever realizing it.

FCPX and no Live ingest

Producing a football program this week has set the heather alight in my edit suite, let me explain. Having swapped over earlier on this year to the Matrox MX02 I was hoping for an ingest box that covered many options.

Thelma Schoonmaker, the Cut Master

At age six, I declared to my beloved daycare workers Joe and his wife, Ellyann I wanted to pursue a career in either social psychology—a phrase I had seen on one of my mother's grad school textbooks—or film-making, if the social psychology racket didn't pan out.

Three-time Oscar winner and current nominee Thelma Schoonmaker, who has edited every Martin Scorsese film since Raging Bull, dissects a sequence in Hugo that prompts her to recall the process of cutting Joe Pesci's "Funny, how?" scene in 1990's Goodfellas.

Premiere Pro CS6 Shortcuts

As a long time Final Cut Pro editor, I must say I am really enjoying working with Premiere Pro. I have completed 3 projects now on PPr and the experience has been phenomenal. The learning curve has been fairly painless, although as I mentioned in an earlier post there is not nearly the amount of resources out there for Premiere Pro as there are for Final Cut Pro.

Using Dynamic Link: Premiere Pro and AE

As I continue to make the transition from Final Cut Pro to Premiere Pro 6, I plan on posting video turtorials of some of the more interesting features of the application. One of the first features that caught my attention was Dynamic Link, which makes workflows between Premiere Pro and After Effects almost a no-brainer.
