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

Yes you read the title right, layers. Some editors love the FCPX magnetic timeline, other editors aren't that keen and have found alternative workarounds. Isazaly Mohd Isa uses a special way to lay out his audio which helps organise clips.

In Japan, there is a holiday that is meant for the celebration of the ocean's bounty. Since centuries past, the sea is important to the lives of the Japanese people. This is quite understandable since Japan is an island nation. Sea Day is also known as Marine Day...

Video story with Premiere Pro, Pt2

http://creativeclouduser.com/how-to-create-a-video...

This is part two of a six part series. Adobe had us record it for the offical Creative Cloud Learning Center. This is a great way to get started with Adobe Premiere Pro (but we did sneak in a few advanced tips too). There are also hands on files so you can get some real practice. Be sure to watch part 1 too.

Vegas Pro Basics 3: Organising

http://library.creativecow.net/devis_andrew/Sony-V...

In this tutorial, Andrew Devis shows how to organise your media assets on your hard drive and what to do when Sony Vegas Pro can't find an asset because it has been moved. Andrew also goes on to show how to open new empty projects and save your project - which is not the same as 'exporting' your projects which would be the final process to create your final video file (covered later on in this series).
