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

Over dinner last night we were discussing the history of Final Cut Pro, various WWDC announcements and it suddenly struck me that Final Cut Pro 7 was originally going to be a 64 bit release, until Apple pulled the rug from under the Final Cut Pro team (as well as other developers, specifically Adobe).

We all know one of the chief drawbacks to shooting with (current generation) DSLRs are the rolling shutter artifacts that show up on shaky or fast-panning shots. It turns out that iMovie '11, in addition to interesting movie trailer templates, includes a filter that can decrease or eliminate these annoying artifacts. Here’s a comparison from Nino Leitner of some Canon T2i footage, before and after using the iMovie '11 filter:

The FCP nerds are fighting with the Avid geeks again. We should probably separate them before someone gets a grass stain on their shirt. If you aren’t too busy working with either system to care, you can read the pros and cons from either side here and here. Absent from this NLE point-counterpoint blog war is the dark horse that is Adobe Premiere CS5, which is seriously kicking ass lately. Enough ass stomping power that I’m personally considering using it on a few projects in leu of FCP...

Proponents of AVC-I compression have been quick to seize on a simple, and we believe simplistic, claim: "Twice the compression efficiency of MPEG-2." It’s a bold promise that has a nice ring to it and has been repeated ad infinitum. The only problem: it just isn’t true.

Glyph Production Technologies will begin shipping its new portable RAID-protected storage device, the PortaGig 62, following the AES show, the second week of November. Modeled after Glyph’s successful GT 062E, a larger desktop RAID, the PortaGig 62 has two 5400 or 7200RPM drives inside, and is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. A quiet internal fan provides maximum airflow and proper cooling - critical to the performance and reliability of the components.

Recently a blog post from Neil Sadwelkar titled "What’s the big deal about FCP" made the rounds of the post people on Twitter. It’s an evaluation of Final Cut Pro, mainly comparing it to Avid Media Composer. This is obviously nothing new, there are probably hundreds of such blog posts around the net, but this one was a little special simply because of it’s massive wrongness... Neil doesn’t seem to be approving comments on his blog post, so I thought I’d post my points in response here.

This device mounts on your desktop as one drive while simultaneously downloading to up to 3 external destinations at the same speed if it were one drive. Amazing hardware driven technology. As boring as it is, data management is now a big part of the job and a product like this theoretically makes the process a little less painless. We'll see..

A monthly backup of your system should be a minimum (hence these reminders) so you might consider something like CrashPlan for automated backups. I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and like it so far. The next thing I need to test is restoration as a backup is only as good as being able to get the info back.
