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

Final Cut Pro X provides text templates that are easy to animate. Also, keep in mind that the built-in title tool templates are actual Motion 5.0 projects. For professional editing, I highly recommend that you purchase Motion 5.0 to compliment Final Cut Pro X.

For Americans, at least, Apple has slashed the time needed to process refunds at the online Apple store in half, Reuters reports. The newswire agency cites a retail intelligence firm, StellaService, which notes that people should now be able to get a refund in less than a week versus the previous 10 days. This is because the company has switched from Newgistics to two-day FedEx shipping for its prepaid return labels, at no extra cost to people seeking refunds.

Chances are, if you’re thinking about building a desktop PC, you have probably owned one in the past. If your old system is still hanging around in a closet or basement somewhere, you can likely make use of at least a few of the old rig’s accessories and components.
