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

FCP X: Archiving Strategies

Video files are big. There’s no getting around the fact that you’re going to need some serious hard drive space to be able to keep your files indefinitely. While some people are content to throw old projects away, I’m a pack rat in these matters, and ideally I’d like to keep everything accessible. Still, if I don’t need immediate access, onto an archive drive it goes. And how you do that? That’s what we'll be looking at here. Let’s dig in.

End-to-end Developments

4K has made a lot of headlines this year, especially on the display side. There has been a steady rollout of displays from LG, Planar, Sharp, Sony, ViewSonic, Samsung, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Sony, Seiki, and now Christie. These displays have been met with near-universal admiration. The ranks of HD haters who greeted the debut of HD with skepticism or disdain have not been matched with 4K counterparts. 4K doesn’t have to fight film artifact nostalgia, it doesn’t come in a brand-new aspect rat...
