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

Following a screening this week of The Theory of Everything, the entertaining biopic about brilliant cosmologist Stephen Hawking, I participated in a cool Q&A with the film’s Oscar-nominated composer Jóhann Jóhannsson whose score recently won the Golden Globe Award and also received BAFTA and Critics’ Choice nominations. The drama stars Eddie Redmayne as Hawking and Felicity Jones as his wife, Jane Hawking, and is based on her memoir of their life together, Travelling to Infinity.

The Final Cut Pro X Skimmer is an awesome thing. But you still have a traditional playhead when working in an FCPX timeline (or Project if you want to use Apple’s term for a timeline). There might be times when you want the playhead to move to a specific frame but just clicking a clip doesn’t move the playhead, it selects the clip.

Dr. Octo REX Sound Tips

There’s a Global Transpose control on the front panel of the module that will transpose any loaded loop up or down by the chosen number of semitones. Since REX loops are made up of audio slices, this is performing some real-time pitch shifting but keeping the tempo exactly the same.

The National Association of Broadcasters this week issued comments on the FCC’s decision to eliminate two reserved RF channels, amounting to 12 MHz of exclusive spectrum previously reserved as part of a compromise during the TV White Spaces proceeding. When broadcasters lost exclusive access to 10-20 channels in most major television markets, the FCC established the two reserved channels for ENG and other broadcast applications.
