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

For those of you curious to get a look at the merchandise, I've uploaded some sample pages from Avid Agility. To make the files small, image quality is somewhat degraded, but I think you'll get the idea. You can purchase the book from the publisher, CreateSpace, and now from Amazon, as well. (Amazon's "look inside" feature will be live in a couple of days.)

It would seem that Liz Bronstein never sleeps. As executive producer of Animal Planet's Whale Wars, Bronstein oversees the creation of the dramatic documentary series, which is set in the remote Southern Ocean off the coast of Antarctica. It is there that the small fleet of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, an anti-whaling activist group, actively attempts to thwart the efforts of Japanese whaling vessels. Violent storms, equipment breakdowns, and fierce clashes between boats are the norm.

So you want to change the skin tones in a shot by doing a secondary color correction. You’re using the methods outlined in ASC #16 (and of course, they work incredibly well!), but there’s that nasty balloon in the shot that has a skin-tone-like color but that you don’t want to affect. What you need now, my friend, is a garbage matte. A garbage matte restricts the key to applying only to a specific section of the image.

Nearly any modern laptop or desktop computer has enough horsepower to run the leading graphics, editing or encoding applications. The right choice depends on your need for expandability, inter-connectivity and/or performance with specific formats.

With crazy guy Howard Brock! Avid’s DS software release and what it means for the Avid product line; KiPro mini; which leads to a side trip talking about the restored Cinerama Windjammer playing off the KiPro at the Cinerama Dome; Blackmagic Design’s IBC announcements: Resolve shipping; control on iPad, bigger and smaller VideoHubs. Discussion reaches to the Kona 3G and market forces. Howard points out some of the anomalies of charging over time.

A couple of months ago I was offered the opportunity to test out the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 for Mac. This beast of a video card is one of the more powerful cards available for the Macintosh but it’s also quite expensive (currently just over $1,400 at Amazon). I jumped at the opportunity as it’s this NVIDIA technology that powers the Mercury Playback engine in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. That and the fact that I probably wouldn’t have been able to justify the cost of the card on my own.

In Part 1, we compared Apple Compressor's H.264 codec with x264, and found the former lacking. In this part, we'll look at the quality, performance, and compatibility of H.264 files produced by Telestream Episode Encoder 6 (yes, the new version) and Sorenson Media Squeeze 6.5 (yes, also new).

If you work in post-production, you work on computers. There are a lot of things within those computers, including hard drives, RAM and the trusty Internet connection, that need monitoring if you want to get the most out of your software apps and work efficiently. iStat Menus is a useful tool that will let you take control of those under-the-hood systems and keep tabs on any number of processes that affect your work.
