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

HOLLYWOOD — On one of the larger soundstages at Red Studios in Hollywood, Lightiron (www.lightirondigital.com) colorist Ian Vertovec is perched on a raised platform about 16 feet in the air at the center of the nearly empty space. He gently moves track balls on the Pablo's Neo control panel, adjusting the color timing for the David Fincher film The Social Network. On the far wall behind him is a Sony SRX-T420 4K projector. On the front wall is a 40-foot screen with an image from one of the...

Although many TV series on the broadcast and cable networks still originate on film, digital acquisition of all types has boomed, impacting post production paths. "Post workflows for digital shows are settling in," says Nick Bradley, co-producer of the new FX series, Terriers. "Now it’s a matter of a DP finding the right camera that enables them to shoot like they did with film: capturing amazing images with lots of latitude while enjoying the bonuses you get on the back end in post."

Two weeks ago "30 Rock" had a story arc involving the video editors of the show and how scary it was to go down to them. They controlled the video and you didn't want to piss them off or else you might not get your stories cut. Over the top humor that I love about 30 Rock and really made me laugh. And then it made me think, "Editors aren't really prima donnas, are we?"

In this short Premiere Pro video tutorial, you will learn the principle of using the beat of your soundtrack to pace your editing to produce either a safe or an uneasy feeling with your production. You will learn how to apply markers and how to use those markers to guide your cuts in the timeline.

Here’s an interesting 3 minutes and 38 seconds that made its way around Twitter this morning. It’s a demo for a technology that will let the user "conveniently perform spatio-temporal reshaping of human actors in video footage." In other words, if this technology was one day built into your After Effects or Final Cut Pro plug-in, it might be possible to bulk up the skinny protagonist in your film via the tug of a few sliders.

Several weeks ago The Foundry announced a new "revolutionary RED workflow system" called Storm. The product made its public debut at IBC and will be available as a public beta in November. Around February 2011 it will go on sale for $375 and should expand beyond RED in coming versions. Paul Clements is a UK-based DIT who has been Alpha testing Storm. He posted a detailed first impressions article on Reduser that’s a great overview of what Storm has to offer.

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.

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.
