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

What kinds of transitions do you make between scenes? Do you plunge right into the next scene with a smash cut or jump cut? Descend thoughtfully into it with a long dissolve or super? Or just plain cut? Chances are you’ve made all these kinds of transitions and many more as you’ve paced out scenes as well as individual edits.

The purpose of EditFest is to share and school other editors in practical aspects of the work and to provide a comfortable and social atmosphere for networking with one another, regardless of your level in the editing world. Most importantly in the mix, however, is the art of storytelling. Many accomplished editors will say that having acute storytelling skills is vital to becoming a terrific and successful... storyteller.

Clean up a sloppy FCP timeline with Auto Collapse

When I was teaching the Music Video Workflow class at NAB this year, one part of the discussion centered on the editing timeline and how, if you’re not careful, it can become a multi-layered, sloppy mess. Everyone has their own way of housekeeping within the editing timeline but one thing you should never do is turn over a sloppy, unorganized timeline to another editor.
