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

TIMELINE SPEED TIPS FOR FCP

I’m currently bang in the middle of a one of my patented speed edits. Smash through a ridiculous amount of work but do it against the clock. I set myself a time limit for each sequence I have to cut. Some will come in under time, some will come in over but my average speed should be pretty much bang on, but it means being really on it in terms of efficiency in Final Cut. So here’s a video that explains some of the little time-saving commands I use to speed up the process and insure ...

James Manche ASE is the editor of Australia's highly popular TV shows 'All Saints' and 'Packed to the Rafters'. "Editing is a whole lot of things you’ve got to think about all at once and that’s really what the craft is. There’s a whole lot of layers of storytelling, narrative, emotion, thinking about peoples perception of the geography of the situation, the relationships between people, there’s all sorts of things to think about and the craft of it is to nail it and bring all those thin...
