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

The New York Times Take on FCPX

The New York Times recently posted an article online about Final Cut Pro X. In the post, David Pogue explains how FCPX is a brand new application and lists the pros and cons of it. Also, he tells the public how pissed off professional editors are with Apple. In 10 years of writing Times columns

Apple ships FCP X, defends position

I met with some folks from Apple yesterday, just a day after Final Cut Pro X was released, and almost as soon after the new release started coming under fire. Both of the company's demo artists were well versed in FCP X’s new features and provided a pretty compelling demonstration showing why FCP is well suited for broadcast and independent film work.

FCP seems to always have a tidbit for people who speak Spanish. For years he was the insufferable keyboard bug, and now we find that by putting a checkmark on a label, the program closes unexpectedly. (In Spanish)

FCPX - The Ken Burns Effect

One of the most common effects that editors do on an almost daily basis is the "Ken Burns" effect. The panning and zooming of still images to create a powerful visual. Creating the effect in FCPX is quick and simple, and Kevin P McAuliffe will have you creating it in no time.

EVOLUTION AND BURNOUT

June 24, 2011, 08:47 AM

http://www.elskid.com/blog/evolution-and-burnout

My agent got in touch recently about an article that I might or might not have written on here about how to deal with burnout. I've sort of touched on this on a number of occasions because I've definitely suffered from it myself and it's not very pleasant. Wikipedia defines it as a psychological term for...

Thank You Apple

In 2000 when I opened the doors to Biscardi Creative Media my realistic three options for an NLE were Avid, Media 100 and Final Cut Pro. Obviously I went with Final Cut Pro in large part because of the cost, though it still cost me almost USD30,000 to build an entire suite from nothing. I have proceeded to use that tool right up until today, some 11 years. What Apple did over that time was to rely on third party developers to come up with video cards so...

FCPX - The Disconnect

June 24, 2011, 08:42 AM

http://dylanreeve.com/general/2011/the-fcp-x-disco...

The uproar about FCP X is mainly caused by the disconnect between Apple's view of FCP and that of many of its professional users... I've created a very simple (and imprecise) graph to try and represent that. The numbers are made up but are intended to illustrate the broad point about the difference in perspectives about what the product is.
