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

Keyboard Shortcuts – Training Wheels

For tasks that I do over and over, Bam!, hit it with a keyboard shortcut and, Poof!, it's done. What's not to like about keyboard shortcuts? Even if you prefer doing everything with the mouse, keyboard shortcuts don't get in your way because you never need to use them.

The dreaded General Error popped up a few days ago. I usually don't blog about technical issues. I leave more technically driven and better written blogs for that, but this really effected the project I'm working on for several days and resulted in much frustration, but it did prove to a learning experience as well...
