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

MPEG LA, the firm that controls licensing for a number of video and other standards, announced on Thursday that it will never charge any royalties for Internet video encoded using the H.264 standard that Apple favours, as long as that video is free to end-users.

Congratulations to all winners and nominees. And a big salute to all toil for the tube: assistant editors, editors, sound editors, visual effects editors, music editors, online editors, post supervisors, PAs, and post house personnel.

We certainly have no shortage of ways to convert Canon DSLR H.264 footage into a more editable format for Final Cut Pro. There’s Compressor, MPEG Streamclip, Magic Bullet Grinder, the Canon Eos Movie Plug-in E1 as well as Cineform’s NeoScene. And that’s not even mentioning Final Cut Pro’s own conversion ability via Media Manager. There’s another option that’s been making the rounds of Twitter this weekend called 5DtoRGB.

My latest interviewee, assistant editor Rachelle Dang, clued me in a program that really helped her career: the A.C.E. internship program in LA for college grads. The editor who mentored her was Lori Jane Coleman. Now Lori has co-authored a book with A.C.E. editor Diana Friedberg, Make the Cut: A Guide to Becoming a Successful Assistant Editor in Film and TV.

Editor Dody Dorn stepped into the spotlight with her bravura work on director Christopher Nolan’s Memento, which featured a complex plot almost mathematical in its ordering of confusion to create clarity. Perhaps that’s related to her love of numbers since attending Hollywood High School and her first career goal - to become a math teacher. But her part-time job working the switchboard at her dad’s small shooting stage led into work as a PA, assistant location manager, assistant to the...

Dody Dorn grew up with the film industry in her blood. Her father worked as a set builder/designer and later as a movie producer. She was still in high school when she began working at his sound stage, Hollywood Stage, where she made the contacts that would ultimately allow her to find work in her chosen field--motion picture editing.

QuickTime – the real OS-centric media framework, not the little sub applications that function as players – is transitioning from C APIs (Carbon) to Cocoa via QT Kit. Trouble is, QT Kit got a lot of work around QuickTime 7’s release, but not so much in recent years. And yet Final Cut Pro needs a lot of what’s not written, before it can release a Cocoa version of Final Cut Pro.

The episode when Philip explains how QuickTime’s flexibility caused difficulties when imported to Final Cut Pro, which leads to a discussion on what is QuickTime; how the event-based nature of QuickTime isn’t ideal for video and what would need to change. Plus what is a framework, QTKit and what development has happened in the Cocoa-ization of QuickTime, necessary for any future Cocoa 64 bit Final Cut Pro. And a short discussion on the pleasures of Flash.
