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

Quicktips 2011 Day 29: Unlocking bins in Avid

This reader submitted Quicktip comes from Brendan McCullough. This is a tip for when you encounter a locked bin while working on an Avid Unity system. I don’t work on a Unity so I haven’t ever encountered this myself but it looks like a nice, sneaky little tip. I would say fair warning though to be sure you know what’s happening in the suite around you whenever modifying something like this in a shared environment.

With the announcement of the latest Macbook Pros we get feedback from seasoned editor, Alex Gollner, of Alex4D.com. Alex gives his impression of Thunderbolt, the super-fast connection technology, previously referred to as Light Peak. The new machines feature Quad-Core Intel processors which represents a dramatic shift in what can be achieved in terms of post production on a portable machine.

Telling the story of a woman's life following a divorce from her long-time husband, Cougar Town has become an international hit. The comedy has gained legions of faithful viewers through its talented comedic stars and writing, but also by building a unique look and feel by taking risks in both content and imagery.

Been awhile again. Doing much better than my past blog attempts before here, anyway. We've actually been pretty slow over all the past few weeks at the ranch and not much to report. The big news is our old folks show we did last fall is coming back!

Playback Media Composer clips via thumbnails

February 28, 2011, 03:09 PM

In one of the earlier Quicktips I showed scrubbing through clips in a Final Cut Pro bin via the Thumbnail bin column. In Avid Media Composer there’s a tab at the top of the bin marked Frame. That’s a quick way to view Avid clip thumbnails in a bin. Plus you can playback and JKL scrub the clips as well.
