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

Be a Horse That Drinks!

The saying goes, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." There are all sorts of meanings that can be attached to this line but basically it boils down to this: you can give someone something but you can't make them use it. That something can be anything. Deodorant, utensils, money, knowledge – all of these things and more and yet it can all come down to nothing.

Keyboard shortcuts allow us to work (and play) more efficiently. I can remember the day when I was a youngster and I was taught the magic of keyboard shortcuts. I also remember the glory of figuring out a shortcut none of my friends or family knew about. Today, I stumbled across this article and to my amazement, it is full of shortcuts I had no idea were there!

Don't get your underwear all twisted in a kno

There has been a considerable kvetching and speculation about the new, upcoming version of Final Cut Pro. In my opinion this is all wasted effort until it is actually released next month. People get comfortable working with a specific tool or software and fear of the unknown causes them to freak out.
