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

Let's step away from time code, countdown leader, and other timings and let some of Hollywood’s best characters do the numbers.

Keyboard shortcuts allow us to work (and play) more efficiently. I can remember the day when I was a youngster and I was taught the magic of keyboard shortcuts. I also remember the glory of figuring out a shortcut none of my friends or family knew about. Today, I stumbled across this article and to my amazement, it is full of shortcuts I had no idea were there!

In this Quick Tip, see how easy it is to create sequences based on the parameters of any clip in your project. A perfect tip for anyone who is given footage where the producer has no idea how it was shot.

There has been a considerable kvetching and speculation about the new, upcoming version of Final Cut Pro. In my opinion this is all wasted effort until it is actually released next month. People get comfortable working with a specific tool or software and fear of the unknown causes them to freak out.

People immediately dismiss doing effects in Avid's Media Composer, as they think that a compositing application can do a better job. Well, as you will see in this Quick Tip, Media Composer can create some very complex animations very quick, very easy, and in some cases, just as good as After Effects.

When working in Adobe's After Effects, you can get footage from just about anywhere, and in most cases, you don't have the time to figure out what the client gave you, as in most cases, they don't even know. This quick tip will show you how to match your composition to a clip in your project to get you animating in no time flat.

With the 2011 pilot season now completed (network pickup and schedule announcements will happen this week), it seems a fitting time to talk a bit about television pilot season, how it works, how it doesn’t work, how things have changed in the last few years, and how those of us who are involved get through it.

When editing, speed and accuracy are two things that make a great editor. In this Quick Tip, copying effects from one shot to another might be 'common knowledge', but what about having the ability to copy not only effects, but clip attributes as well, and being about to do it in a second. That's a trick that will amaze your clients every time.

In the past few years, a barrage of new video acquisition formats and recording methodologies have sprouted like mushrooms after the rain. The major shift has come in the form of tapeless, file-based acquisition that uses equipment that has its roots in the information technology industry. Advertisement

Yes, this is probably going to be a rant. I'm just about over hearing that Final Cut Pro X is 'not for pros', as if that had some useful meaning. Guess what folks, that's a totally meaningless sentence and anyone who says it is... Well, let's just say I don't have a high opinion of their thinking processes.
