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

prEdit is a dramatically new way to deal with transcripts, story and the first edit. Starting with transcript-enable media files, prEdit allows you to: very quickly subclip the best from the Transcript; easily enter log notes, with tools like autocomplete...

MPEG-2 Encoders, Part 1

The last time I remember writing about MPEG-2 encoders was back in 1996, the year the Olympics was held in Atlanta (and what a time that was). But just last week, I got a random call about MPEG-2 encoding for DVD from Emmy Award-winning producer Connie Simmons. By way of background, Simmons produced a PBS Series entitled Landscapes through Time with David Dunlop, which began airing nationally in June 2008.

Avid's New(ER) Direction

When I ask you who the main NLE players are, most people mention Media Composer and Final Cut Pro right off the bat, with Premiere Pro and Vegas taking up the rear, and in the last few years, I think that Avid has really taken a beating from Final Cut Pro. Not to say that Final Cut Pro has taken the lead in the non-linear editing world, but Final Cut Pro has made real in-roads and has grabbed Avid’s coattails, and held on strong.

The Art of the Guillotine welcomes the DCFCPUG to the family of cutters. Established in 2007 to fill a void in the FCP community in the Washington Metro area (VA/DC/MD), the group is rapidly expanding and getting involved in everything from pre-production, production and post production. Just recently the DCFCPUG team completed six weeks of work on a Hollywood Feature film! Now, that's what I call real world experience...

EditFest NY II: new season, new episodes

August 3, 2010, 08:47 AM

http://kirstenstudio.com/wordpress/?p=1621

The purpose of EditFest is to share and school other editors in practical aspects of the work and to provide a comfortable and social atmosphere for networking with one another, regardless of your level in the editing world. Most importantly in the mix, however, is the art of storytelling. Many accomplished editors will say that having acute storytelling skills is vital to becoming a terrific and successful... storyteller.

Clean up a sloppy FCP timeline with Auto Collapse

When I was teaching the Music Video Workflow class at NAB this year, one part of the discussion centered on the editing timeline and how, if you’re not careful, it can become a multi-layered, sloppy mess. Everyone has their own way of housekeeping within the editing timeline but one thing you should never do is turn over a sloppy, unorganized timeline to another editor.
