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

Sonnet Technologies has just updated its xMac Mini Server, which transforms Apple's Thunderbolt-enabled Mac mini into a PCIe-expandable, rack-mount server, to support the USB 3.0 ports in the new Mac mini announced by Apple on October 23.

Red Giant Software's Retrograde is a plug-in for Final Cut Pro X that lets you simulate the look of 8mm and 16mm film stocks. The simple drag-and-drop interface uses laser scans of real film stocks to achieve its looks. It retails for USD49 and you can download a free trial here.

Two blog posts by Tumblr user Jollyjinx have shed some more light on the inner workings of Apple's Fusion Drive. Announced last week at Apple's event in San Jose, Fusion Drive marries a solid-state disk and a spinning hard disk drive together into a single volume, relying on the speed of the SSD to accelerate all writes and reads on the most often-used files and the size of the HDD to hold the much larger mass of less often-referenced files.

Some readers are asking if the 'late 2012' Mac mini with a Quad-Core i7 processor can match the power of a Quad-Core Mac Pro. Many Mac Pro owners have a keyboard, mouse, and display they like. Shouldn't they save a pile of money and replace their old Mac Pro with a new Mac mini? With the aid of OWC Labs, we are attempting a quick answer using a CPU and a GPU benchmark.

I try to keep self-congratulatory posts to a minimum, but it's nice to see the momentum around Adobe Premiere Pro and other Adobe video tools. Streaming Magazine just announced a number of Readers Choice Awards:

It's impossible to overstate how much Daniel Spreadbury has meant to anyone who uses Sibelius. From the occasional newbie to the most experienced pro seeking advice, Daniel has tirelessly offered his help, expertise, and good humor. So many times we have seen a Sibelius user, stressed out and under a deadline, post a frantic message...
