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

Terrible news today, as the LA Times reports that Sally Menke, the editor who cut all of Quentin Tarantino's films, was found dead this morning. She had disappeared while hiking yesterday, and an extensive search of Griffith Park was undertaken by police after friends reported her missing.

I’ve been as absorbed as anybody lately in the buzz surrounding David Fincher’s new movie, Social Network—his and writer Aaron Sorkin’s rendering of the madness surrounding the founding of the Facebook social networking web site. That’s because I recently penned two articles about the movie—thankfully, not dealing with whether the movie is, or is not, a faithful telling of what actually went down at Harvard University a few years ago. Rather, I wrote about the undisputed...

Created by Bruce Sharpe, former Rocket Scientist and Mathematician, Plural Eyes has seen a tremendous boost in popularity due to the DSLR phenomenon. However, the use of Plural Eyes is for any situation where dual system sound is needed or where multiple cameras are recording at the same time.

Wall explains the workflow: "From our standpoint as editors, it was a very easy film to work on. Tyler Nelson and Alex Olivares, the assistant editors, handled all the data management and file conversions at David's production offices. They converted the native RED camera files to Apple ProRes 422 (LT) for us. After that, it was pretty much the same for us as on Button or Zodiac, except that this time we were working with 1920x1080 images, which was great."

Back in May at his No Film School blog, Koo asked, "Is Apple Dumbing Down Final Cut Studio?", wondering whether the "pro" elements of the Mac editing platform would be diminished (or, perhaps, not updated) in favor of features of interest to the less-pro "prosumer" crowd. Well, today, according to Hardmac.com, a next version of FCS could indeed be delayed. The site reports...

At IBC, Adobe announced that the BBC was adding 2,000 seats of Premiere Pro software for its news-editing operations. According to Karl Soule, technical evangelist of dynamic media for Adobe, the demands of high-end broadcast outfits such as the Beeb partially steered the development of the CS5 suite itself, which was released in April.
