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

Well... every 2nd week or so there are some voices on twitter or Facebook complaining how "not up to date FCP" is compared to Premiere or AVID ... well that might be true in some points but don’t forget ...

Time for some humor. But first, a pop quiz. Where did the term B-roll come from?

Reducing Noise in Apple Final Cut Pro

A funny thing happened on the way to this episode of Final Cut Pro Insider. As you may recall, the last episode detailed the results of an extensive visit to iTunes, where I downloaded and analyzed about 50 files, and presented strategies for producing podcasts for the increasingly diverse range of iDevices. This episode was going to cover device presets in Apple Compressor, Sorenson Media Squeeze, and Telestream Episode. I hope this doesn't cause any riots in the heartland, but I'm going to...

The promise is that they’ll be announcing something incredible on the morrow. The Mac nerds have all been crowding busily around the precious warmth of this latest piece of marketing sleight of hand, because it’s been a chilly old time at the altar of Mac. Lots of noise but nothing really that exciting.

One of the main concerns in any facility when installing a new suite is downtime, or how often the room will not be making money. Downtime can occur for a number of reasons: technical issues, lack of operators, or in the worst case, lack of jobs appropriate for that room. Flexibility is key, and being able to switch a room on the fly from editorial to graphics to finishing is the key to finding the most billable hours and maximizing return on investment.

I spend a lot of words here showing how to automate things so that editors can "set it and forget it". The reason for that is that there is nothing worse than having to wait around for an hour watching your computer work. Well, there sometimes isn’t any way to automate the "next step", but this will enable you to hit render, go home and then do the rest from home! Here’s how.
