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

The promise is that they’ll be announcing something incredible on the morrow. The Mac nerds have all been crowding busily around the precious warmth of this latest piece of marketing sleight of hand, because it’s been a chilly old time at the altar of Mac. Lots of noise but nothing really that exciting.

One of the main concerns in any facility when installing a new suite is downtime, or how often the room will not be making money. Downtime can occur for a number of reasons: technical issues, lack of operators, or in the worst case, lack of jobs appropriate for that room. Flexibility is key, and being able to switch a room on the fly from editorial to graphics to finishing is the key to finding the most billable hours and maximizing return on investment.

I spend a lot of words here showing how to automate things so that editors can "set it and forget it". The reason for that is that there is nothing worse than having to wait around for an hour watching your computer work. Well, there sometimes isn’t any way to automate the "next step", but this will enable you to hit render, go home and then do the rest from home! Here’s how.

Seems like we’re often being handed MP3 files to use in our video projects. It might be a sound effect or an audio track we’ve got the rights to use. The problem is that the MP3 format is not very good for video editing (wrong sample rate... rarely works in real-time). Fortunately there’s an easy fix... iTunes. If you don’t have access to the original files, you should convert the compressed files to an AIFF file for use in a video editing or motion graphics tool.

"What do you see as the start of the music video era?" I asked Dean. He believes it began with promos for the Rolling Stones and that then in the 80s every watched Michael & Janet Jackson’s "Scream." "There were a lot of bold, artistic voices," he enthused. "Now, it’s not the artist, it’s the image." He noted that budgets have skyrocketed although you create a low budget music video for a big band for 20K.

Singular Software's PluralEyes is a piece of Final Cut Pro companion software that can automatically sync multiple cameras and audio sources by scanning the audio waveforms. When it arrived I hoped for an Avid version, but predicted that it would never happen.

In reviewing Part 1 of this article, I did notice that I left out one of the more important "pros" of the Baselight system, and that is its directly integrated support for the Truelight color management system. Truelight, like Baselight, is a Filmlight product, and Baselight is designed around the use of that technology for all color management functions, a great advantage. Now.....
