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

Silent Revolutionary Carol Littleton

Carol Littleton, A.C.E., has never been one to sit back and wait for something to happen. Instead, she makes things happen. For example, as a novice film editor in the late 1970s, she did not wait around patiently, hoping for jobs to come her way. Rather, Littleton took charge of her career by forming her own commercial editing company. Experiencing first-hand the difficulty of breaking into what was virtually a closed shop, she did not spend her time complaining about the status quo, but...

As a supplement to my post on how to convert and Avid locators file to chapter markers for Final Cut Studio, I decided to just make a little web app to do it for you. Paste the contents of your locators file in the top box, click Convert, and then copy/paste the contents of the bottom box into a new text file and import that into DVDSP or Compressor.

Why Does an Editor Make a Cut?

This oft asked question echoes the age old question, "What do women want?" The latter question is, thankfully, being asked less and less as women are taking their power around the world and men and women are connecting and understanding each other more. Here’s my answer to the former question...

"Jim was originally going to edit the whole thing himself," recalls editor John Refoua [Balls of Fury], "but after a little while he realized that with all the work and directing it was going to be too much. He called me to come in for six weeks and that was two and a half years ago.

Interview with Michel Arcand

January 7, 2010, 07:30 AM

http://www.handcutfilms.com/editing/interview-with...

A couple years ago I interviewed Michel Arcand, one of Quebec's most accomplished film editors. At the time he was working on Maurice Richard (aka The Rocket), for which he would later win Genie and Jutra awards for best editing. Our phone call lasted over an hour, but of course being an editor, I cut it down to 12 minutes, focusing on the more inspiring and insightful moments to portray Arcand's magnificent vision into the intimate process of film editing. Enjoy.

Why is video editing? Yes, I know that’s not proper English. I often here the question, "What is video editing?" If you reading this post then you’re probably aware of what video editing is. But do you know why we edit?
