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

Open AVID ALE's in FCP 7

I tried using 3rd party apps to accomplish this, but it’s actually much easier than I thought: In FCP go to File / Import / Cinema Tools Telecine Log. Choose the ALE file. Reconnect or batch digitize the footage. You never have to leave FCP.

Playhead of timeline to match FCP edit to Tape

There’s probably not near as many Final Cut Pro editors that have to perform tape output today versus just a few years ago (using the FCP Edit to Tape window) but for those of us that still do use tape we tend to use it on a pretty regular basis. This Reader Quicktip is from Ben Scott, a London-based editor who apparently has to do a lot of Edit to Tape work.

"You hang around in the right spot long enough and sometimes you get lucky," says editor Jon Harris about his first opportunity to work with Oscar-winning director, Danny Boyle. He had previously worked on two horror films with 127 Hours producer Christian Colson who introduced him to the director when Chris Dickens, Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire editor, was unavailable to take on the film.

Using a Virtual Mixing Board

We’ve all seen impressive sound boards with a plethora of buttons, sliders and dials. But did you know your editing software might have a similar virtual mixing board? How do you mix the soundtrack for your video projects? There are several ways. You could normalize each track to some arbitrary volume level and leave it at that. Another option is exporting all the audio tracks individually, mixing them in an audio-only program and importing the resulting file back into the video project...

Cutting to the Next Step with Lance Stubblefield

I did a call with Lance Stubblefield (Lost, Detroit 1-8-7) recently for a class I am helping out with and thought it would be good to post here. We’ve talked with Lance on the blog before and people enjoyed reading his answers to their questions. Lance talks about how to take a cut to the next step, television editing workflow amongst other things.

"I the ProRes Maker," an Assistant Edito

One last goody from the SF SuperMeet of editors and FCP users on January 28th. Two assistants made this rap video, "I the Pro Res Maker" about their work lives. "We’re always making SD, rarely HD," they lamented. And this video is no exception. Feel their pain.
