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

First, you swear. Then, with one mouse click, you smile! If you accidentally move a clip out of sync, don't worry! Here's a quick way to correct this. Final Cut uses red, out of sync flags to mark a clip that has been moved out of sync. To get an out-of-sync clip back into sync, Control-click the red flag of the clip you want to move and select Move into Sync.

Amid the hubbub of this year's NAB Show and Apple's sneak peek at the forthcoming Final Cut Pro X, you may have missed the release of Media 100 Suite v.2. Or maybe you noticed it, thought fondly about the NLE that you quickly learned to cut on and then moved away from when the former owner's status looked uncertain and developments were minimal, and wondered whatever became of Media 100. (It was bought and has been developed and advanced by Boris FX.) With the release of version 2 of the...

Frightfully Good Cutting

British independent filmmakers Ben Franklin and his team at Bloody Cuts grew up with a love of horror films. Ben cites the Nazis-meet-their-doom scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Stripe taking on the Peltzer family in a particularly scary Xmas in Gremlins as some of the formative images that sparked his own interest.
