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

Let’s discuss edit rooms. That edit rooms are often called edit suites is one of those cute, unnecessary fancy-fications that’s really just a classy way to say “LOOK AT OUR SPECIAL ROOM!” without having to scream. Though when you do say “edit suite” to someone, make sure to slightly raise your eyebrows and squint a bit – that adds what idiots call “the gloss of intrigue.”

Right on the heels of Avid’s news of successful films at BAFTA. The recent rumors of Avid not being able to make the NASDAQ requirements have come true. Avid, a long time industry standard for post production support, including Pro Tools and Media Composer, has been delisted from NASDAQ.

Occasionally when using Final Cut Pro X, we find the need to move and copy Events, Projects, media, and even Libraries. This requires understanding some very basic parameters which I’ll cover in this article. We can manage elements within a Library, across Libraries, between Events, etc. It is a very easy process, once you understand the parameters involved. These are not difficult to grasp, so I’ll walk through things one at a time and logically for you.

Fabrizio Fracassi left Final Cut Pro when Apple made a left turn back in 2011 with the release of Version 10. Happily, Apple addressed the criticism it received from that release and Fabrizio is back in the fold.
