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

Last week we released Cut Notes 1.0.2, a maintenance update for our iPad note-taking app. This version fixes a crash some users had been getting when pressing buttons, as well as fixing an issue with misinterpretation of shorthand timecode.

The Editors Guild magazine has just published a great review of my book, Avid Agility, in their March/April issue. To quote it briefly: "Avid Agility is very much a definitive book about the Media Composer environment. [It] may well be the ultimate book on customizing Avid's unique capabilities for individual creative editing."

Sometimes, when we’re working on our music, we are so anxious to keep moving and doing all the cool things we already know how to do with Pro Tools and our other audio gear that we forget to stop and take a minute to figure out that new thing we’ve been meaning to try out. We’re so comfortable with what we already know that we forget the importance of learning the new thing.
