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

A new 64 bit Final Cut Pro?

February 23, 2011, 03:13 PM

By now you will have heard of, or read, either the Final Cut Pro rumor at Techcruch, or over at Larry Jordan’s Blog. Techcruch generally has good information, and I seriously doubt that Larry’s post would have been done without a specific OK from Apple – that’s just his style. Both say in one way or another:

How to Use The Foundry’s Storm to Color CorrectR

February 23, 2011, 03:12 PM

http://nofilmschool.com/2011/02/foundrys-storm-col...

The Foundry is best known for high-end compositing tools like Nuke, but they’re set to release their latest application, Storm, on March 1st. Storm is a much-needed low-cost "RED Production Hub," which will retail for the very reasonable price of $375 — reasonable considering it’s not only designed to help log and process the .R3D camera originals, but it’s also meant to be a post-production solution that will take RED-based edits all the way through final color correction to delivery.

Next Version of FCP called Dramatic and Ambitious

February 23, 2011, 01:14 PM

http://fcpdaily.com/2011/02/next-version-of-fcp-ca...

TechCrunch.com reports today rumors surrounding a promising update to FCP are indeed true. TechCrunch confirms that speclation that an update may be more "consumer-oriented" is in fact not the case....and that the new update will be a complete overhaul of the product...the biggest update since it’s original release over 10 years ago. We would anticipate it will release around the time of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) conference in Las Vegas in early April.

moving all keyframes on a shot in FCP

This reader Quicktip comes over from Steve Sabban and it’s a follow-up to Quicktip number 7: changing FCP filters lengths partially applied to a clip. I thought that was a particularly handy tip but it didn’t go into any real timeline manipulation of keyframes. This tip does.

Ki Pro Mini - An Unscientific Setup

February 23, 2011, 11:13 AM

http://blogs.creativecow.net/blog/4307/ki-pro-mini...

About a week ago I finally acquired my Ki Pro Mini but only now have I had the time to write about it. I ordered it back in September when they were first announced, which is why mine showed up before the broadcast supply houses in my area. With AJA it's first come first served, which is how it should be. This article will be a recap of what it takes to get the Mini up and running with portable battery power as well as some of the 'gotchas'...
