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

Editing is a subjective art. One person's brilliance is another's contrivance. There are many ways to the same end, but the end is telling a story. Telling it clearly, concisely, smartly. Tony Scott directed some of the most interestingly told stories I've seen. Top Gun was an action movie that never confused who was where...

For the past 18 months or so, many editors have been trying to figure out what they wanted to do in a “Post Final Cut Pro” era. Of course, they are completely discounting FCPX. I’ve met and spoken with several very accomplished editors who have never cut on anything but Final Cut Pro.

You can dabble with Final Cut Pro X - or you can take this comprehensive course and learn to edit video like a true professional! Apple's non-linear video editing software is both powerful and affordable.

You can use Apple's Windows ProRes codec to edit on Windows with Apple ProRes. You cannot export your Files to ProRes Windows. You can only read (edit) Prores on Windows. To get ProRes Codecs on Mac OS, for read (editing) and export of files, buy Motion from the Apple App Store. Avid's DNxHD codec is free for Windows and Mac OS and can read and write files on both.
