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

Thoughts on Final Cut Pro X (from a non-Mac owner)

First things first, I do not currently own an Apple computer. However, I've decided to now make the switch for my next editing computer to be a Mac product. After seeing the Final Cut Pro X preview at the NAB Supermeet this year, this seemed like a solid choice. Now, after 2 weeks of reading testimonials of FCPX, now I'm not so sure... I wouldn't say I'm an anti-Mac person.

An Update on our search to replace FCP

We're one week into our search to transition our facility away from Apple and Final Cut Pro so I wanted to bring everyone up to date on where we stand so far. This was a very busy week as you can imagine with both production work in the shop and many MANY requests for myself to speak to national media outlets, podcasts and personal visits to our facility. So the testing will really ramp up this coming week.

This is an amazing video tutorial by Martin Brenand of Imagineer Systems. In it, he brilliantly shows you how to track an iPhone and export tracking and mask XML data to Final Cut Pro to finish. mocha AE makes it simple! Check it out....

Final Cutter Tries Out Premiere Pro

If you're a Final Cut editor contemplating making a change, you're not alone. Here's one long-time Final Cut user who tried out Adobe Premiere CS5.5 on a paying gig. He found a lot to like, and not much to miss.

Want to know more about the effects within FCPX? Or maybe you want to know how important metadata is within Final Cut Pro X? These set of videos will get you up to speed.

FCPX on the iPad

Whoa! hang on, don't spit your coffee out, this isn't a standalone Final Cut Pro X app running on an iPad, it's actually FCPX running remotely. We've seen this before but here Matts Macintosh shows us how well the GUI would work if FCPX was an iPad app. Interesting and frightening.

Happy 4th of July

Just wanted to wish all the video editors in the United States a happy and safe fourth of July. Go celebrate America's birthday by spending time with the family, having cookouts, and lighting up some fireworks. That's actually a good time to whip out the video camera and take some test video for Final Cut ...

How FCP X will really matter to India

July 3, 2011, 03:22 PM

http://neilsadwelkar.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-fcp-...

I bought and downloaded FCP X the day it was launched. And now I'm reading the manual and watching training videos to get the funda behind FCP X. It's taking time because FCP X is a whole new app. It does a whole new set of things in totally new ways. Its almost like how I made the transition from Steenbeck to linear tape editing to editing on a computer (first Avid, then FCP)...

AJA Hi5 3D

This little USD500 box is worth it's weight in gold. In fact, I give the Hi5 3D the Negative Spaces Gold Star Award of Excellence (whatever the hell that is). This is the perfect solution for combining the signals from 2 cameras for output to a stereo display.
