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

Here's a fast way to select only a portion of a clip without adding an edit point. Wouldn't it be great to apply a filter to only a portion of a clip without having to cut the clip into a million pieces first? Well, you can using the Range Selection tool (keyboard shortcut: GGG).

I think we have a problem, a deeply flawed sense of what these two monikers mean. And in the digital age of the internet free-for-all, the problem is getting Worse. This post may feel like a rant, but if you bare with me i promise to get to a positive and constructive point by the end.

Customizing your keyboard is a personal thing. Some people are adamant about working with the Premiere Pro defaults, and others heavily customize the keyboard. There is no wrong or right, so pick what works for you. Here is a link to the adobe site on keyboard shortcuts that is worth a read.

It's All About Project Management

Video is a multi-headed beast that's constantly screaming to be fed and nourished. You've got people in front of the lens, people behind the cameras, and even more behind the scenes. Video projects are complex with multiple stages of approval along the way. You need to control things and have a plan (and even another plan for when that one fails).
