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

Macromedia Final Cut. Fits a much younger man. I was tipped off at my first NAB in 1998 that Macromedia were showing their new NLE in a little room off the show floor, in among a maze of temporary rooms in the basement of the Sands Convention Center. It was the last demo of NAB.

Over the past month, we've seen leaked screenshots, numerous rumored release dates, and heard from some who've seen FCPX. All of these different types of information have added together to a storm of happy, mad, upset, and confused editors.

Jordan believes FCPX is not ready for pro use!

If you're planning to buy Final Cut Pro X when it gets released there's something you ought to know. Larry Jordan, who we quoted on our blog many times as he's a well-known FCP expert, believed that FCP X was not ready for professional use. He did not believe that something so radically different than Final Cut Pro 7 could offer at least the same possibilities. Now it seems that Larry changed his mind as he wrote on his blog that:
