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

Inception director Christopher Nolan drew a big laugh at the ACE Eddie Awards on Saturday night when he acknowledged Smith's contribution by saying, the movie's editing needed to "have everybody understand it -- or understanding it enough anyway." Nolan also earned applause as he continued, "I’d like to take this opportunity to say, Lee, you did an incredible job."

Access FCP’s timeline keyframe

Everyone who edits with Final Cut Pro knows that you have full access to animating and keyframing parameters via the Viewer. Double-click a clip in the timeline and it loads in the Viewer. There you can keyframe parameters in the Motion tab or parameters of any filter that might be applied. But you can also do this in the timeline as well.

So for the last few days the internet has been abuzz – or at least the part of the internet that I pay attention to – with the news that Apple unveiled the new version of Final Cut Pro to a small group of industry vets and influencers.

New MacBook Pro and Thunderbolt

Apple has released new MacBook Pro today which comes in various models from 13 to 17 inch and from 2.3GHz Dual-Core i5 processor to Quad-Core i7 Intel monster. Faster 15" and 17" machines have AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphic card with 1GB of memory which makes it perfect for Apple Motion. What's most interesting for me, is the new technology for I/O called Thunderbolt. What the heck is that? Well, remember USB 2.0?

Shooting tapeless is an increasingly common practice in the professional video market. The multiple formats make it easy to choose the best camera for the job, and working with a file-based workflow can be as secure as originating on tape if you take a practical approach to media management on and off the set.

Making of NatGeo's "Wereth 11"

Earlier this month, National Geographic Channel (NatGeo) premiered "The Wereth 11," a movie about a group of African American soldiers caught behind enemy lines in Belgium during World War II. The rest of their story — like most war stories — is brutal. The story of the efforts to shine a spotlight on their sacrifice is inspiring. And the story behind the making of this film is innovative, ingenious and deceivingly creative. Here is that story...
