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

This is a follow up post to my original "2 applescripts for final cut editors" post and boy is it a doozy! I didn’t write these – both scripts have been found elsewhere, but they are so useful I’m putting them up here to spread the word!

POST PRODUCTION WEEK POST 3: LOVE YOUR KEYBOARD

I’ve spoken about speed in the last two posts and how vitally important it is to being a better editor. It’s not just the ability to knock jobs off quickly (though this is of course very important from a business standpoint). There’s a degree to which editing is never really completed, you just down tools at the point where you’re as happy as you can hope to be, given the circumstances. Working fast means...

Ripple Tool (Roll Tool in Avid)

I’ve been editing on non-linear systems for 12 years. I know both Avid and Final Cut. Each time I learned the process of editing on these platforms I somehow skipped trimming. It wasn’t until I re-learned each NLE that I started to grasp trimming. Once you get clips marked and into the timeline you should never go back to the original clip. All adjustment should be made in the timeline.

Meet Hot S*** Music Video Editor Dean Gonzalez pt1

November 10, 2010, 10:28 AM

I had a riveting talk with Dean at an upscale bar and burger joint in Weho where he enthusiastically guided me through the thicket of videos he’s edited and explained his path to the cutting room. To say I was impressed by his attitude (energetic and friendly), what he’s done, and how hard he worked to get there would be an understatement. But let’s hear from the man himself.

Don’t Count Lightworks Out Yet

November 10, 2010, 10:26 AM

Lightworks, once the darling of longform post production, may soon find a second life. EditShare plans to release the first beta from their ongoing open source project on November 29. If you’ve registered, you’ll be able to download it for free. At the moment, it’s Windows-only, but they plan a Mac port next year. The list of features is impressive, at least on paper: resolution independence up to 2K, multiple frame-rate support, native support for DNX, Prores, R3D and dpx...

Lightworks Release Announced

November 10, 2010, 10:25 AM

http://www.handcutfilms.com/editing/lightworks-rel...

EditShare has announced the release date for the new Lightworks Open Source editing project. I for one am very excited, and not just because it's free. For one thing, Lightworks has been used for some of the greatest films of all time, and is the NLE system of choice for many editors such as academy award-winning Thelma Schoonmaker. But for another, more important reason, I see it pushing Avid and Apple to make their applications even better.
