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

Can you change the shortcuts on the Avid Fast Menu

The Avid Fast Menu between the Splice-in and Overwrite buttons gives you access to the Tool Palette which has some handy functions while editing.  (You can also access the Tool Palette via the Fast Menus above the Source and Record monitors.) You can change the functions and buttons on the Tool Palette by dragging it...

We're currently testing the Avid (formerly Euphonix) Artist Color control surface for colour grading – more on that soon. But, I wanted to share a few surprising discoveries I've made about using it for editing as well.

MC6 Lesson 23: Audio Mixing Part TWO

November 1, 2012, 08:15 AM

http://library.creativecow.net/mcauliffe_kevin/Avi...

In this lesson, Kevin P McAuliffe talks about a tool you'll want to have open at all times when working with audio, and that's the Audio Tool. Not only does it give you a close up look at your VU meters, but it also contains some commands you'll want to have at your finger tips when cutting with a client.

MC Lesson 22: Audio Mixing Pt 1

In this tutorial, Kevin P McAuliffe walks you through importing your audio two different ways, and explains the differences so you can pick the right technique for the right job. He also shows you how to set up your timeline views, and why setting them up a certain way will really save you time when a client is sitting next to you in the suite.

Today is my last day of employment at Avid, and this will be my final post here on the Sibelius blog. My first day of employment with Sibelius Software was Tuesday 4 May 1999, when I was an Oxford music graduate of just 22 years of age, and I was splitting my time between singing...

Ever since Apple blew up the happy world of FCP 7, we've been running into more and more people moving to Adobe and Avid. Adobe's been pretty good. I like them a lot and their support guys (I'm talking to you Bruce) have been awesome.

Jeff Ford, The Avengers

October 26, 2012, 03:49 PM

https://www.aotg.com/jeff-ford-the-avengers-2/

In this episode of The Rough Cut, I sit down with editor Jeff Ford on the set of Iron Man 3. Having just edited The Avengers, Jeff has lots to share about editing a blockbuster film and how that differs from cutting smaller independent films such as One Hour Photo. Have you ever taken an acting class or learned the craft of screenwriting? Jeff tells you why you should. All that and more on this edition of The Rough Cut.
