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

We've been hearing all kinds of Chatter that the next version of Final Cut Pro will debut in Vegas at NAB next week. Thing is, we hear this every year and Apple hasn't really done a NAB properly in awhile. That's OK, we'll take that we can get.

Free Useful Tools for Editors: CoreMeltFREE

April 6, 2011, 11:36 AM

http://www.studiodaily.com/blog/?p=6042

So here's a nice little package of free effects, transitions and plug-ins that I totally missed a few weeks ago when it came down the tubes. CoreMeltFREE is a set of 33 plug-ins for Final Cut Pro, Motion and After Effects. It's based on the popular CoreMelt set of plug-ins that have long been one of the better overall values when it comes to a complete effects package for FCP. I wrote a full review of the...

Apple to Demonstrate the Next Final Cut Pro at NAB

April 6, 2011, 11:34 AM

http://nofilmschool.com/2011/04/apple-demonstrate-...

Every year at NAB the FCPUG (Final Cut Pro User Group) puts on their own event dubbed the "SuperMeet." Since Apple pulled out of NAB two years ago, no one knew how the expected announcement of a new Final Cut Pro at this year’s NAB would take place. With all other scheduled events at this year’s SuperMeet suddenly being cancelled at the request of Apple, who apparently wants exclusive stage time, it looks like the new FCP will be unveiled publicly on April 12 at Bally’s Event Center.

Is the new FCP coming at NAB?

Frankly, I was stunned. While all things are possible, there are many strange elements here. First, nothing is confirmed by anyone. I have sent emails to learn more, but there's nothing official.

Stepping Back to Walk Forward

As John Lennon so elegantly put it, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." The past year – the Great Unpaid, the move back to Boston, and other assorted successes and failures – has etched that immortal saying firmly in my grey matter, leading to much reflection and "life-ing" as I move my career and life forward, not into the Great Unpaid, but into the Great Unknown.

SuperMeet Event Changes - Apple to unveil FCP

April 6, 2011, 08:15 AM

http://notesonvideo.blogspot.com/2011/04/supermeet...

Larry Jordan - who back in February was the first to report seeing a demo of the new version of Final Cut [NotesOnVideo: Final Cut Pro Update - confirmation] - has posted his thoughts on the news from the SuperMeet. He's actually puzzled why - assuming the rumors are true - Apple would do this. He argues that they are pissing off other vendors [well, Avid yes, Canon is probably fine about it, who knows about...
