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

Last night I went to the Los Angeles Final Cut Pro Users Group (LAFCPUG) meeting to hear editor Eric Zumbrunnen and assistant editor Erik Jessen talk about the multi-year process of editing Where the Wild Things Are.

Look at the image below. Something new has been added in FCP 7. It's the Timecode Viewer, a floating time code window, which will really come in handy as you share your screen or sequence with others. And taking notes by jotting down time code as you view your footage has never been easier.

In this episode, we’ll increase your productivity by being able to quickly switch between different timeline views. For example, just press a button on your keyboard and automatically enlarge the audio tracks while turning on the audio waveforms. It’s quick and easy!

Duck Dodgers to the Rescue

If I said that I had a nasty OMF issue that I have NEVER seen before, and that the DUCK helped me fix it, would you understand what I mean? I said that to my wife after she asked "how’s your day going so far?" and you could hear the silence on the other end when I replied with that above line.

This looks like a very interesting application ... GridIron Flow is what the developers call the "world’s first Visual Workflow Manager." From the GridIron website:

Apple’s new iFrame codec implementation

October 28, 2009, 08:25 PM

http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/freshdv/sto...

So recently Apple released specs on a new video format they are calling iFrame. What is it, and how will it affect you, the video professional? As all consumer codecs seem to trickle into the professional space in one way or another, I expect the same to happen with this format.
