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

I've been to Vegas before, but not yet to NAB. It's particularly exciting to finally come to the most important camera technology event of the year. Lots of new products are to be expected from all sorts of companies in the business of filmmaking gear. Absolutely everybody and their mum will be there! And me too

Final Cut Pro 8 Tuesday?

It appears that Apple will take the wraps off FCP8 (aka FCPX) at NAB Tuesday night at the Supermeet, a user group event that once focused on Final Cut but lately has branched out. This year is was supposed to feature presentations from several companies, including Avid and Aja, but on Tuesday the program abruptly changed, with Apple bumping all other presenters. The supermeet web site now refers to a "surprise sneak peek at something very special," which is presumably FCP.

Cool Tools for Spring

Editors are increasingly using inexpensive hard drives as a method of archiving. But how do you keep track of where your files are? As I started to look around, I realized I already owned a very functional utility, simply because I had Roxio's Toast. One of the extra applications installed and in the folder is DiscCatalogMaker

Pray a little and then some more

We've all been there. Feverishly working in Avid and not really paying attention to how often Avid has been saving until you get the spinning wheel. You know what I’m talking about. (On an Apple it is the beach ball of death.) You see that, and you can kiss your unsaved work goodbye.

Apple's "All In" move: Big Win or E

So by now it's a known fact that the FCPUG Supermeet on April 12 in Las Vegas has been abruptly taken over by Apple. Yes, it says "special presenter" on the Supermeet Website but it's a known fact now that it will be Apple showing off the new Final Cut Pro and most likely the entire new Studio suite.
