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

Apple Final Cut Pro had been rocking along for twelve years, gaining professional market share and becoming a versatile platform for many editors, facilities and developers. But it was time for a change, especially after the 2009 update, which many editors felt was too incremental.

This is to clarify FCP X's capability, or lack thereof, of some workflows being used in some parts of the world. Specifically India.FCP X is not currently capable of doing a feature edit in the 24 at 25 method with an EDL or cut list as the final output.

Apple calls it a "major breakthrough in video editing". Editors have said "it's not ready for professional use." In the Mac App Store, most users have given it a one-star rating. But, here is my review of this application called Final Cut Pro X. To get to the actual review, jump down a couple paragraphs...

Not very long ago we all got dailies from the lab, sunk to sound, coded, and assembled cut film into reels. A negative cutter matched our work, spliced the negative, and we color timed a print for release or broadcast.

Stereo 3D in After Effects

A large portion of the focus for stereoscopic 3D production has been on major motion pictures, where a person usually pays extra to see a special version of the film, and expect to be wowed by the action literally flying off the screen.
