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

Hard to watch? Try cutting 12 years a slave!

A lot of people believe 12 Years A Slave is the best film yet made about slavery in the United States. That doesn’t make it easy to watch. It also wasn’t easy to edit. “Editing is like a massive, 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzle,” says director Steve McQueen. He’s just arrived from Europe and is relaxing in a suite in a swanky West Hollywood hotel with the film’s editor, Joe Walker.

Grass Valley ADVC-G Series Practical Case Study -

There are two universal problems in the live events market where IMAG (image magnification) is used to supplement the live action onstage. The first is the seemingly inevitable lip-sync delay caused by system latencies between the lenses of the cameras and the final output on the projection screens. This is especially true of smaller systems depending on a switcher/scalar/synchronizer device to connect together all the video components. The second is the long-term reliability, and short-te
