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

Over the weekend I was in touch (for top secret reasons) with film maker and trailer editor Ross Evison. It became apparent very quickly that Ross has a huge amount of experience cutting movie trailers, so I asked him to share his experience, and here it is…

I thought I'd done a pretty good job of explaining the differences between the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thuderbolt [$227], the Intensity Extreme [USD284] and the Intensity Pro [USD189] card the other day, but it appears not, because at least Patrick Inhofer expressed confusion about it (but then, he is getting old...)

Around the beginning of 2009, I found myself transplanted from my comfortable digs in Chicago, IL to Raleigh, NC. I'd spent the previous eight years working my way through film school and building up a modest freelance career in video. Life was pretty decent, but I had to make the move, and that's how I...

Final Cut Pro X roundtrips

February 11, 2012, 10:29 AM

http://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/2012/02/11/final...

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) has become a common method of data interchange between post production applications. Standard XML variations are like Romance languages – one version is as different from another, as German is from French; thus, translation software is required. Apple's Final Cut Pro X was updated to include XML interchange...
