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

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. It a time to let your creative mind go absolutely crazy with ideas to entertain and scare your friends with. I personally enjoy some time in front of the couch watching some of my old horror films. It's amazing to watch films I had created...

Right off the bat, I'm not endorsing or bashing anyone. Just the facts! (Hopefully that covers me in the event anyone gets offended.) There are two programs out there that might make multigrouping a bit easier. They are PluralEyes (http://www.singularsoftware.com/pluraleyes.html) and Quickeys (http://www.startly.com). PluralEyes aids with syncing and Quickeys helps with creating subclips...

In the ongoing saga of Final Cut Pro X comes one of the first third-party tools based on the newly released FCPX XML format. XML came to FCPX in the version 10.0.1 update just a month ago. Project X27 is a USD50 translation tool that comes from Intelligent Assistance. The company is no stranger to XML and has produced many helpful workflow tools for Final Cut Pro 7 (as well as Premiere Pro). Project X27 moves Final Cut Pro X timelines into Final Cut Pro 7.

Not just view, but scrub them, too and without going into Light Table view. By default, thumbnails are hidden in the Browser. But like many features inside Final Cut, they're lurking just beneath the surface.

A quiet day in the FCPX world so far after yesterday's raft of news. A good time to take a look at an excellent article about using keywords in FCPX.

When applying transitions in Final Cut Pro X, have you noticed the duration of your timeline shrinking? By default, FCPX applies a "full overlap" between the two selected clips for transitions. This results in the clips shortening in length. This can be a problem, especially if you have perfectly matched your video with a song...

One of the newest of these is the Tiffen Dfx suite (version 3), which has been developed through the ongoing collaboration of The Tiffen Company and Digital Film Tools. Tiffen Dfx traces its heritage back...

A conversation with several Avid experts revealed that it is 3 times faster to link to a file via AMA and transcode that file to MXF format than it is to directly import the same file to MXF. Why? As Avid adds new features to Media Composer they write code that allows for more...
