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

Earlier this week, Apple released OS X 10.9.4 with various enhancements and bug fixes for wake-from-sleep and WiFi connectivity. In addition to those fixes, many professional video editors who use Mac Pros are reporting that graphics rendering and performance issues found in the preceding OS X 10.9.3 have been resolved.

The rise of reality TV programming over the past two decades has been driven in large part by the fact that reality shows are cheap to produce. Labor costs are a big reason why. What does that mean for the people who work on these shows? Allow some of them to tell you.

When it comes to sound gear (like many things), you tend to get what you pay for. Quality microphones and recorders tend to be a little more costly, though there is certainly a price/cost ratio the higher you go. It’s usually a pretty good decision to pick something that the pros use, but how much quality can you get away with on the low-end? DJ Clark with the World Press Photo Academy compared a number of microphone solutions, including lavs, and even compared a $1 mic from China to the profe...

A screenplay is a unique literary form. It both tells a story and serves as a blueprint to make a movie. As such, understanding structure is a critical component to the craft. Check out the observations of these screenwriting veterans...

Recently someone emailed me asking why their Delay Effector was not working on their MoText Object. I looked at the project file and went straight to what I thought was the culprit but everything appeared to be setup correctly at first glance. What do you think the problem was?

Over the years, the technological march of progress has seemingly spelled the death knell for older designs, only to see those older approaches rise up, like some kind of technological Phoenix, and stand tall once again. Transistors replaced tubes, at least in general use, but tubes never really went away. And digital technology replaced analog. And ever since, we’ve been chasing the holy grail of analog sound, trying to capture it for our pristine digital recordings, both with the use of real...

For some the arrival of the DAW was a dream come true, to be able to track, edit and mix in one application, what’s not to like. For other people Pro Tools was a replacement for their tape machine and even now that’s what Pro Tools is.

With the latest release of Adobe CC 2014, Adobe added the ability to easily create DCP directly from Premiere Pro CC or Adobe Media Encoder CC. The Wraptor plug-in is provided by Quvis. This is exciting news for indie filmmakers looking to create a DCP screening copy for festivals or screen a work in progress in a theatre. Being mainly a Media Composer user, this was great news and DCP output from Media Composer has been a long time request from the Avid community.
