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

follow-up for the Day 27 Speed up FCP’s XDCAM

This original Reader Quicktip about speeding up the FCP XDCAM export that came to us from James Stuckey Weber really showed he was having some very dramatic speed increases just by closing the FCP Canvas and Timeline. It seems after a bit more of James testing and discussing this with some fellow editors there’s a bit more to tell. It’s more about collapsing multiclips that closing the windows. Read on for James’ new testing numbers.

The Modern Editor Myth

March 2, 2011, 09:40 AM

http://postfifthpictures.com/2011/03/the-modern-ed...

I have a problem with what people think is the Modern Editor. The one I speak of is the self taught, do it yourself, do it all, one stop shop who has not learned through others while ignoring pre established workflow patterns.

Sally Menke Interview

March 1, 2011, 08:38 PM

http://splicenow.com/2011/03/01/sally-menke-interv...

Elvis Mitchel has posted a thoughtful, sensitive interview with editor Sally Menke this week for his LA-based show "The Treatment." Elvis is something of an LA institution, operating out of KCRW. His interviews are consistently penetrating, and this one is no different. Having helped run the Editors Guild Magazine for four years, I can tell you that it’s not an easy thing to interview editors with respect and without resorting to a host of cliches. This one does both.

Sally Menke - Treatment Interview

An editor is as important a component of a movie as the director. They often serve the function of sounding board and collaborator. Sally Menke was just that person. She worked with Quentin Tarantino on all of his films, starting with Reservoir Dogs. He was fond of saying that their teamwork was such that they finished each others sentences.
