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

When a prospective client finds you online, what do they see? Do they see someone who can deliver value to them that no other video business can? Or do they see just another production or post-production company? Top-quality work is a must, but the way you present your business to the world is also crucial to your success. The right presentation wins over quality clients willing to pay premium rates. The wrong one just makes you blend in with everyone else. Most Video Businesses Seem Gene...

Raw and Log: How to Easily Differentiate the Two

Log and raw are not the same thing, and they are good for different things. Here’s how I differentiate the two… The first thing we need to do is define one against the other. Raw and log are occasionally used interchangeably, and some raw formats incorporate log, so it’s important to be clear about what Read More

Perfecting the Film Post Production Workflow

March 4, 2014, 01:25 PM

Self-funded, low budget, indie filmmaking is wonderful for the creative and artistic freedoms you are granted as you strive to tell the story and share it with others. You are the filmmaker, the studio, the investor and the distributor. This great power comes with great responsibility and heavy consequences. I’ve spent the last 5 years of my life working to finish a feature film entitled…THE GRIND. The literal and figurative irony does not go unnoticed…but it also drives me to complete...

Bring on the Backups in Final Cut Pro X

March 4, 2014, 09:30 AM

http://provideocoalition.com/mspencer/story/bring-...

Final Cut backups are enabled by default and they back up your work every 15 minutes (if there has been a change). Now, even though you never have to manually save your work in Final Cut since it saves every change you make automatically, these backups can save your bacon in the event of project corruption or a drive failure.
