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

Tutorial: Aligning Camera for mocha Hitfilm Users

Ryan Connolly of Film Riot talked about Hitfilm Ultimate 2 in his 2012 Filmmakers' Christmas List episode yesterday (awesome episode, btw) and since he spoke so highly of it, I thought it'd be worth sharing this well-done tutorial. It's done by Imagineer's own Martin Brennand and goes into some nice detail.

Do you wake up in the middle of the night with cold sweats remembering that you should have called Mike to follow up about the pitch you did a couple of weeks ago?

Configuring an iMac for video editing

I bought a new 27-inch iMac when they went on sale Friday, specifically for video editing. And, because I've had a lot of requests recently, I wanted to tell you what I bought and why.

40 yr ago ACE started the Student Comp

As probably one of the oldest editing students in existence, (I'm a late bloomer. What can I say?) I am challenging myself to do and learn all I can in this field that has captured my heart and soul. For the past almost five years, I have been taking college filmmaking classes, starting with my first editing class on February 18, 2008.
