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

There's an old saying in television – you have to know the rules before you can break the rules. I don't think there's a single traditional edit rule that this applies to more than the Jump Cut. Considered to be a serious no-no in some video venues, it can be an effective effect if done right, and in the right context.

There has been more than enough talk from editors and post production people about what editing system to use since Apple delivered FCPX roughly 6 months ago. Many FCP faithful are sticking to version 7, some pioneers are braving the new frontier with FCPX, others have moved to Adobe Premiere CS5 and other seeing great things again from Avid with Media Composer 6. The one system that no one is really talking about is Autodesk Smoke.

When I first started editing, you had a lot of gear in a small room, and you took a lot on faith that you were getting a good audio mixes. The reason…the best speakers in the place were in the control room, as that's where the meat of audio production took place. You were usually...
