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

As many of you know, for the past 2 and a half years I have been working on a little book called The Avid Assistant Editor's Handbook. It started out as a small project but the more I learned about what goes into writing a book, the larger it got (much to my own dismay!).

Resetting Multiple Audio Outputs

http://www.larryjordan.biz/tips/tip268.html

Shane Ross sent me this tip. Let's say you have a source file with eight tracks of audio, and you mapped a1 and a2 to A7 and A8 on the Timeline, and a5 is pointing to A6... In other words, the track assignments are all over the place.
