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

Matt stops to talk to Eric Quanstrom about how Sorenson360 has been a great solution for our content delivery, and we also talk about Squeeze and Squeeze Live.

What are my thoughts on Final Cut Pro X?

With the caveat that we’ve seen only a fraction of a brand new app and what we saw raised as many questions as it answered. Walter Biscardi does a good job of enumerating the unanswered questions and I’m concerned about XML out of and back into Final Cut Pro X.

Final Cut X: Discuss

In this video, Cammon and I discuss some of our worries about FCP. After doing this video earlier in the day and discussing with others, someone pointed out for those that have used FCP alone for so long this is a great update. For those of us, like myself, who use other NLEs to edit, there is some potential frustration in the kind of upgrades Apple decided to make.

The competition between rivals Apple and Avid heated up this week at the NAB Show, following Apple's announcement Tuesday night of a new 64-bit version of Final Cut Pro that lists for just 299 dollars.

FreshDV just posted an excellent closer look at Final Cut Pro X. It shows a lot of the new features that aren't exactly easy to understand without seeing. The new magnetic time line is very impressive. Seeing all of the different options involved in each clip looks quite useful.

Supermeet 2011: An Open Mind After Apple's Bi

I've just returned from the tenth anniversary Final Cut Pro Supermeet, that raucous and always entertaining and informative gathering of Final Cut Pro users held as an evening event during NAB. This year, in front of some 1,400 attendees, Apple chose to announce its forthcoming update, Final Cut Pro X. Billed as a sneak peak, this hour-long demo began with the obligatory history of FCP, its ground-breaking features and impressive list of users in every production realm from documentary to...

LEITNER'S MONDO NAB, PART TWO

I wish to continue my notes about developments in large-sensor cameras, but of course the magnesium-powder newsflash sucking up all the oxygen at NAB today is Apple's stealth sneak peek at Final Cut Pro X last night.

A Modest Proposal Regarding Editing Software

There was also Adobe Premiere, and that was OK too, but very few professional editors were using it. Eventually Sony bought a small company in Wisconsin and took over their nascent editing program, which was called Vegas.
