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

FCP - Change the Size of Text in the Browser

It seems to be an unwritten rule in Apple's interface guidelines that text needs to be so small and tasteful as to be almost unreadable. Which is a real problem when you're actually trying to read it.

This fun web video tells a good story and makes good use of VO while talking editing reality. Still can’t say "editing reality" without thinking of editing my own life. What would you edit if you could edit your life reality?
Back to the Mac: Implications for Final Cut Pro

There were a lot of features I saw in OS X Lion and particularly in iMovie 11, that I would love to see inside Final Cut Pro. Things like QuickView I already mentioned in my "What should Apple do with Final Cut Pro" article from September.
More on the Smart Tool

http://splicehere.org/2010/10/20/more-on-the-smart...
Avid’s new Smart Tool promises a more intuitive, drag-and-drop approach to timeline editing and is designed to compete head-on with Final Cut and Premiere. But for many long-time Avid editors, the first response is, "how do I turn it off?"
