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

Cut Notes for iPad...

One of my responsibilities as a director is to watch lots of rough-cuts, and give change notes to my editor. My producer friends are often busy doing the same. It can be quite time consuming. Thankfully, an app has come along that simplifies the process.

Technology Schadenfreude

Taking advantage of adverse industry reactions to Apple's recent release of Final Cut Pro X, which lacks many critical features considered essential within a professional workflow, Avid has been quick to directly address deep-seated concerns of the post community.

Storytelling: digital technology allows us...

Stories are memory aids, instruction manuals and moral compasses. When enlisted by charismatic leaders and turned into manifestos, dogmas and social policy, they've been the foundations for religions and political systems.

I’d like to say a big thank you to FCPeffects.com for generously sponsoring my purchase of Motion 5. If you follow FinalCutWhiz on Twitter, you'll know that I wanted to try out the new Motion and eventually start producing effects. Well, FCPeffects.com saw my tweet and was immediately on-board with the idea.

Streamlining Color Correction in CS5.5

August 8, 2011, 10:30 AM

Premiere Pro has a full complement of tonality and color correction tools including about 40 tonality and color correction video effects and four vector and waveform scopes. Most video editors gaze upon all those possibilities and end up choosing the path of least resistance: automated effects.

Transitioning: An update on our new Paradigm

August 8, 2011, 10:28 AM

There's been so much talk about a "new paradigm" and "a new beginning" lately courtesy of Apple. Defenders of the "new paradigm" are quick to point out that this is an entirely new application, nothing like it has ever been done, therefore, Apple had to break with all convention to create Final Cut Pro X.

Controlling FCPX via speech commands

It might not be the Minority Report 'air GUI' but you can control a lot of the features within Final Cut Pro X with just your voice. Could you do a complete edit without having to touch the keyboard?
