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

Imagineer Systems is always part of the plug-in pavilion but didn’t have anything new to show this year, rather taking the time to have a small technology preview. But they did have Roger Bolton of CoreMelt in their booth again and Roger was demoing TrackX, the phenomenal tracking tool for Final Cut Pro X that uses mocha planar tracking technology.

Intel's next Thunderbolt port can handle two 4K di

There's a good reason why the Mac Pro has six Thunderbolt 2 ports: current Thunderbolt tech isn't powerful enough to drive more than one 4K display per port. Future computers shouldn't face that limitation, though.

Avid Symphony v6.5 - v7 / Resolve v9 - v10

As of 4-23-2014 the only HD video file format that I know of that the Avid can read the embedded "Tape Name" metadata from is the Material Exchange Format (MXF) file. I noticed for Avid created mxf media files there is always a default metadata match where the embedded "Tape Name" metadata matches the "Source" name metadata. This "Source" is not displayed in a bin by default.

Seagate’s Backup Plus Fast is a Pleasant Surpris

Fellow writer Jaron Shcneider earlier reviewed Western Digital’s My Passport Pro Thunderbolt hard drive. However, this was an answer (if already planned) to Seagate’s Backup Plus Fast 4TB drive. What’s the big deal…? Both drives combine two, RAIDed 2.5″ mobile hard drives into a single enclosure to allow for the best possible dollar/performance ratio when it comes to mobile drives.
