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

FCPX: Our two editors spill the beans

We have some great talent writing on the website these days. We like to find writers with niche interests so they can help round out our perspective on news and the happenings around the tech world. It's long been a goal to find someone who edits video on a professional level...

FCP X: the missed opportunity

Last night I was invited to be part of a panel discussion held by WIFV at the Discovery Networks HQ in Silver Spring, and for me it really underscored just how badly Apple has dropped the ball in regards to the launch of FCP X in the eyes of the pro community...

Apple released its "industry changing" video editing software Final Cut Pro X and upon tinkering with it a little, most video editors around the world screamed in outrage.

Did Apple Know What They Were Doing?

For those of us fascinated by the evolution of editing technology, the Final Cut Pro X release is the gift that keeps on giving. Kanen Flowers has reinvigorated his long-dormant podcast, "That Post Show" (on iTunes), and the episode released yesterday covering FCP X a month after the launch, includes Mike J...

I received the following email today from someone that needs to remain anonymous. However, I trust them and their opinion and wanted to share their thoughts with you here.

Optimising your Mac for Final Cut Pro X

I downloaded Lion the day it was released. Not onto my main system - I set up a separate Snow Leopard Boot drive and upgraded this. I’m not too worried about new features or functionality, the big issue to me is does Final Cut Pro 7 and the rest of the Studio work fine.

An astonishing amount of the work that gets done in After Effects is theme and repetition work. You create something, and then there is the need to create 1, 2, 10 or 147 more of them, and for each to be similar yet unique.

The Thing About LUT's

July 25, 2011, 03:47 PM

http://www.negativespaces.com/blog/2011/7/12/the-t...

Arri Alexa Firmware v4 is now live and in the wild. Among the many cool new features is the ability to load LUT's, or "Looks" as Arri calls them, into the camera. These Looks can either be applied non-destructively to any of the camera's monitor paths or can be "baked in" to the on-board ProRes recording...
