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

Will VR fundamentally change the way filmmakers ap

Not too long ago I was asked to participate in an industry survey, and one of the questions was around what technology or trend was going to be especially big this year and beyond. Previously I might have mentioned HDR, but it feels like HDR has already arrived, which means it’s time to start focusing what’s next. And what’s next for the industry just might be a full-scale embrace of VR.

Avid: Working with Stereo Audio

February 5, 2016, 06:12 AM

Whenever you import a music track into an Avid bin, you may notice that the audio comes in as a mono track, rather than stereo. This means that you have to pan each of the two channels to the left and to the right before laying it into your sequence. If you inadvertently stack two mono tracks in the sequence, you will experience phase cancellation and the music bed won't sound quite right. If you would prefer Avid to import your audio as a stereo track, here's how to do it:
