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

What is YUV?

What exactly is YUV when talking about video? Well, it’s a way of breaking the brightness and colors in the image down into numbers, and it’s a little different from RGB, which we discussed last time. Just as a refresher, most cameras take the light coming into the lens, and convert that into 3 sets of numbers, one for Red, one for Green, and one for Blue...

f you are lucky to have a client who want Blu-ray ... well congrats... even though you will run in a bunch of other problems – or lets – say issues... anyway. Web delivery is not that much of a problem... since web-based services like Vimeo or YouTube are supporting HD (720p or even 1080p).

Recorded in Rome, this interview with Project Engineer, Sidney Lobb of Creative Technology, gives insight as to how AJA's Ki Pro can be used in a professional situation. Designed as a ProRes recorder, the Ki Pro can be used to replace traditional decks, and also to enable up conversion, down conversion, cross conversion of video signals.

Cutting Commentary

After opening remarks by Randy Roberts, A.C.E., President of the American Cinema Editors, the DGA Theatre in New York took on a hushed tone as the second annual East Coast EditFest got underway June 11. The reason was that the organization remembered one of its own: Karen Schmeer, A.C.E. Lucia Small, both a close friend and a client of Schmeer's editing skills, stood up to talk about the young editor whose life ended earlier this year from a tragic hit-and-run accident near her home in...

Schoonmaker, 67, was sitting in her editing room at Martin Scorsese's production company. She has edited every Scorsese feature since Raging Bull, in the process becoming one of the most respected figures in American film.
