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

Can a Mac mini handle dual-screen HD editing?

October 11, 2010, 10:48 AM

At work, I have a big, snorting, hairy beast of a MacPro, but at home I want something small, quiet, and abstemious with the power—yet still capable of dual-screen HD editing with reasonable playback performance when I need it. I’ve tested two Mac minis, with GeForce 9400M and 320M GPUs, alongside my older 15" MacBook Pro with a Radeon x1600 GPU, and the results are... interesting. They may be applicable to recent MacBooks with the same GPUs, too.

Headlines bemoaning the possible delay and dismemberment of Apple's Final Cut Studio are becoming a mainstay of the Mac press. Which would be fine, if there was any substance to the story.

Editor Christopher Rouse on The Bourne Ultimatum

October 10, 2010, 08:23 AM

http://www.studiodaily.com/filmandvideo/currentiss...

The big-budget thriller is enjoying something of a renaissance lately — lots of people are excited by blockbuster action pictures like Transformers and Live Free or Die Hard, but the arrival of a newer, grittier James Bond last year in Casino Royale was a development that was greeted with critical and public acclaim alike. And while the trilogy of Jason Bourne movies that began with 2002's The Bourne Identity (and which arguably influenced the new direction of the Bond franchise) has been...

Looking for a Good Codec for Archiving?

October 9, 2010, 12:14 PM

http://www.larryjordan.biz/tips/tip215.html

The problem with any video codec is that it is a lossy codec. That is, it loses quality whenever you record something with it. Most of the time, that loss is not a problem. But sometimes you want to store your materials for a long period of time. For instance, you want to store historical footage from the 1930's. In this case, maintaining image quality with a format that is non-proprietary is critical.

Why isn't satisfying customers enough?

This week I had an unplanned trip to Boston to fill in at the Boston FCP User Group meeting for Rich Harrington who'd suffered a back problem and wasn't able to travel. I travelled American Airlines instead of my normal choice, JetBlue.
