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

Would You Like to Win a Job at a Post House?

There are quirky contests and then there are quirky contests! The recently announced Make me a pro! contest from Quantel and London post house LipSync is one of the quirkiest. Well, quirky may not be exactly the right word; it’s a pretty straightforward contest as far as the entry requirements go. But the overall idea of someone winning a short work placement at an established, working post house is the first contests of this type that I’ve ever heard of.

A while back, we gave an update on the status of our plugins running on OSX Lion: Roaring Through The Issues. Pretty much, it came down to some serious bugs in OS X Lion, that we could not control. However we did our best to communicate the issues with Apple, and we’re excited to say…

FCP Visibility Lights and the Arrow Keys

October 12, 2011, 08:44 AM

Those green lights control more than audio and video. Did you know that the visibility lights also have an effect on the behavior of the up/down arrow keys? Normally, when the visibility lights are on, the video is visible, the audio is audible, and pressing the up/down arrow keys jumps to the next/previous edit point on every track.
