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

With the 2011 pilot season now completed (network pickup and schedule announcements will happen this week), it seems a fitting time to talk a bit about television pilot season, how it works, how it doesn’t work, how things have changed in the last few years, and how those of us who are involved get through it.

When editing, speed and accuracy are two things that make a great editor. In this Quick Tip, copying effects from one shot to another might be 'common knowledge', but what about having the ability to copy not only effects, but clip attributes as well, and being about to do it in a second. That's a trick that will amaze your clients every time.

In the past few years, a barrage of new video acquisition formats and recording methodologies have sprouted like mushrooms after the rain. The major shift has come in the form of tapeless, file-based acquisition that uses equipment that has its roots in the information technology industry. Advertisement

Yes, this is probably going to be a rant. I'm just about over hearing that Final Cut Pro X is 'not for pros', as if that had some useful meaning. Guess what folks, that's a totally meaningless sentence and anyone who says it is... Well, let's just say I don't have a high opinion of their thinking processes.

Everyone has a different type of workspace when it comes to video editing. Some use big, powerful computers with 10 external hard drives. Others have a small computer that barely get’s by. What type of workspace do you have?

I am a big fat geek. I know it. I don't mind it. I know this because I get excited by techie things that no one outside a small tiny circle of people could possibly care about, nonetheless comprehend. That doesn't make me exceptional or anything, as much as weird and dorky. Matrox released a Codec to the public that used to be proprietary to their hardware, which is what we edit with at work. I haven't been editing at home for close to 4 years now.

If you take a very close look at the second part of Emmanuel Pampuri's recording of Apple's sneak peak of Final Cut Pro X, you'll see a few frames hinting at integration with Motion – or a much more advanced titling system...

Given that Apple have announced that Final Cut Pro will be available in June, will there be a special event to launch it, or will Apple once again use a third party event to make the official announcement?

At one of the sessions at the MIT Media in Translation conference, one of the speakers said that several people he knew who had switched to Premiere when 5.0 came out, were moving away from it due to problems with stability; long project load times, and random crashes.
