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

A year and a half ago or so I was bright-eyed and very excited about the Twitter-connected digitally-based indie filmmaker blogosphere. I even coined a phrase for it: "Digital Visualmaking", created a brand around it, and used that as a jumping point to try and network with like-minded creatives and to encourage them to shine. I did this as I was also spinning up a media creation business (Anticipate Media) and jumping feet first into filmmaking after some years of a break. It was exciting.

The ability to scroll vertically is built in, but that doesn't mean it's easy to find. There are multiple ways to scroll vertically in the Timeline in Final Cut Pro. Choose your favorite!

I decided to wait a few days before putting my thoughts down about the passing of Steve Jobs. So much has been written about this man by writers who are much more eloquent than I’ll ever be. But here goes…

Video editing pros have been up in arms because Apple removed some important features from its well-liked editing software, Final Cut. Well, editors, you can lower your weapons, a least a bit. As promised, Apple has begun to add features back in. The controversy began with the release of the cheaper, more amateur-oriented Final Cut Pro X. It was missing some crucial features of its predecessor, Final Cut Pro 7.
