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

The Man Who Made Avid Pt. 2

March 31, 2010, 12:44 PM

http://www.macvideo.tv/editing/features/index.cfm?...

In 1987 Bill Warner quit his job at Apollo Computer, Inc. and set up AVID Technology. Within a few short years filmmaking was changed forever. Bill Warner is the man who had the vision, he's the man who made this happen. In this, the second of a five part series, Bill shows an early prototype of the AVID workflow. This was the beginning of what was going to become the tool of choice for a generation of filmmakers.

A Cue Sheet that Adds itself up!

Cue sheets are a fairly bread and butter part of an online editor's life. The last thing I do when I've completed an online job is to printout a copy of the show's cue sheet and place it in the box with the tape.

Wanted: The Underestimated "L" Cut

After getting a lot of hits on my post titles "I will judge you be your sequence," I decided to dip into more of my editing ideology. I’ve thought about what topic it should be for a while and came up with the "L" cut.

FCP Quirk/Importing 25fps Audio (or 24, 30fps)

March 24, 2010, 12:29 PM

http://blog.youdownwithfcp.com/2010/03/24/fcp-quir...

Recently I ran across a mind-bendingly irritating glitch in final cut. I was trying to import audio that should be matched to 25fps video into a pal sequence. I absolutely could not get the audio to import at the correct rate (Well, nothing short of doing a speed conversion on it) The audio speed conversion is so hackish that I was afraid to even try it. Even audio exported from fcp would not play back at the correct rate when re-imported to the same sequence!

Editing on an iPad, Anyone?

Call me slow, but I finally watched Steve Jobs’ iPad keynote last night (it’s now available on Apple’s home page — or here). The iPad looks like it’ll be a very nice way to watch movies or read digital books, and Jobs offered a typically masterful demo of those capabilities.
