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

Pinnacle Systems was emulating the early days of Silicon Valley pioneer, Ampex. It had experienced tremendous growth, then nearly closed, after which it created an outstanding new product. Finally it had become overly reliant on one customer. Sales of its Alladin technology to Avid accounted for more than 40 percent of sales.

The Metadata Magic of Smoke's Clip History

History is a feature in Smoke that keeps track of the operations that you perform on a clip, so that it can be recalled and revised later. It not only keeps track of the setups and keyframing, but also the clips used in making the final result. This is what I find really special.

FCPX Title: Overlap – that works with keyframe

February 16, 2012, 03:16 PM

A couple of changes in Final Cut Pro 10.0.3 seem to be in response to user problems. Instead of having a transition media preference, FCP X makes sure storyline length isn't changed when a transition is applied – warning if there isn't enough media in the clip to apply the clip.
