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

I would like to start by saying that I don’t know why anyone would ever want to use MPEG-1. I do get requests to make them, and sometimes I am unable to convince the person to go with another codec. It is a terribly outdated codec and most people requesting them are using terribly outdated spec sheets, or are just themselves outdated. Nonetheless the situation occurs where I am forced to make one and it was always fraught with problems.

With much speculation about the future of Final Cut Pro – unless you’ve been living under a digital rock you’ve no doubt heard SOME form of speculation on the interwebs - this week Steve Jobs has once again assured us that Apple is not done with Final Cut Pro.

If you have been paying attention to PVC lately, you may have read my recent article "An Aerial Adventure." If you haven’t, go ahead and have a look. I’ll wait. There, now wasn’t that fun? You may remember that my experience with Loran Nordgren and his AirCam aircraft wasn’t entirely successful.

For me, besides Chroma keying, the most painstaking task as an editor is creating photo montages. It is a long and cumbersome process that no matter what plug-in you use inside your NLE, they always seem like way more work than the end result shows, and God forbid the client want to make it 10 seconds longer, because you may as well start again from scratch. Well, that’s where Boinx Software claims FotoMagico will swing in and save the day. Let’s see if it’s worth your time and money.

In Final Cut Pro it can be very useful to not show the audio track names. Because the audio track name goes right over top of the waveform when you have them active, they can make seeing the waveform difficult. Especially at an edit where the name of the outgoing clip is right next to the name of the incoming clip. Depending on how zoomed in on the timeline you are this can make a significant amount of the waveform difficult to see.

With the popularity of Apple Macintosh, you may find the need to have a hard drive that can be used with both PC's and MAC's.

A lot of people are talking about CUDA and the GPU in the context of Premiere Pro CS5. But the talk is almost always about speed, speed, and more speed. Yeah, using CUDA on the GPU to process a lot of effects does speed things up (a lot!) in many cases, but that’s not the whole story.
