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

It’s literally shocking that a product from Apple happens to be the best kept secret in post. Pretty much everyone I come across is dumbfounded when I tell them that Final Cut Pro X (FCP X) is my non-linear editing platform of choice. And to be honest, I half feel like I shouldn’t be writing this article. Why? Well, part of me selfishly wants to keep this workflow to myself so I can keep my competitive advantage. Part of me wants to keep delivering projects in half the time I used to, but st...

What’s happening with Avid? Will it fail or be bought? I came across a thoughtful article addressing these and other aspects of Avid’s latest financial crisis, posted on the blog portion of Screenlight’s site. Chris Potter wrote it; he’s a principal in this Toronto-based company that allows realtime video viewing, sharing, and feedback.

A rainy, windblown night this past February didn't stop a mix of editors, students, and assorted wannabes from packing the auditorium of Manhattan's French Institute. The evening was the first 2013 presentation of Bobbie O'Steen's “Inside the Cutting Room” interview series with special guest Andrew Weisblum, A.C.E. Manhattan Edit Workshop's president Josh Apter took the stage to introduce the evening.

If you’re like me, you buy the best Mac or PC for your work, but within your budget. I needed to move up to an iMac from my Mac mini for Final Cut Pro X editing, but didn’t want to spend too much money on a new, late-2012 model iMac. So I bought a 21.5-inch Apple-refurbished mid-2011 iMac, base model with 8GB of RAM. And I upgraded it to 16GB of RAM from Other World Computing (OWC), plus an OWC Mercury Elite Pro hard drive and a NewerTech Guardian MAXimus mini RAID drive for good measure.

The beauty of Apple Final Cut Pro X is in its power to organize media. When editors take advantage of these tools, FCP X can prove to be a very fast way to cut. I've covered some of these concepts in previous posts on

Now that you’ve exported your video, you gotta put it somewhere. But where? Do you throw it up on your website (e.g. youdomain.com/videos/my_video.mov). Do you put it on YouTube? Perhaps Vimeo? What about that blip thingy? Or maybe you’ve read a post (like this one) that says video producers should use a service like Wistia to host videos?
