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 last 2 days have been filled with nothing but editing. Taking our paper edit and sound bites we selected, and starting to assemble string outs, which is effectively a Final Cut Pro time-line with all the sound bites you selected laid out in a sequence.

If you read my recent article Apple USA unfortunately segregates Mac Mini's keyboard options here in ProVideo Coalition magazine, you may now feel relief. After exploring multiple sources, I have fortunately located a USA-based company that is willing and able to offer both versions of the official Apple aluminum keyboards with the Spanish ISO layout.

Trapcode Form 2, released yesterday by Red Giant, arrives with some exciting 3D particle controls that should give regular After Effects users a number of novel creative options for their particle-based composites. This version of the After Effects plug-in is certainly much faster, with near real-time response rates.

Say you're working on a project and you're not exactly sold on some of your b-roll. You have a bunch of shots that could work, but don't really have the time to insert each of them and recut. FCP X offers a quick solution in the audition tool.

If you're not a business don't tune out just yet. There will be some valuable info for you too. Whether you're a blogging mom, music/movie junky, a small retail business or a larger production studio you've all probably felt the growing pains of digital storage. You're left with a few option, buy another external drive, try yourself or pay someone to install a larger internal drive, buy a new computer or maybe abandon technology and go back to sticks and stones.
