To The Aotg.com Community,

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

On the first day of September, I woke up at a quite ‘lovely’ early hour to get ready to attend a workshop out in Charlotte about production and lighting, hosted by SNL’s Alex Buono called Visual Storytelling 2. It was a humid, foggy morning, and since it’s a bit of a drive from Winston Salem, I needed to wake up extra early to meet up. I went with three other coworkers, and we all piled in a car to head out. Much Queen music was heard (and even sleepily sung along to via inability to NOT...

Do you need to transcode?

As higher resolutions and bitrates push the limits, and new formats pop up to challenge our systems and software, you may need to transcode your footage to make it compatible with your system.

Over the past couple of months, rumours have pointed towards a 12.9-inch version of the Apple iPad to be christened the iPad Pro. In fact, the device could launch as early as 9 September – that’s two days away. Citing reliable sources, reports have emerged that production could begin as early as the first quarter of next year.

An explanation why the postings on FCP.co have bee

  It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to spot that we haven't posted a new article here apart from the FCPX update for a week. So what is wrong and why has the FCP news feed that's been active for nearly five years been put on pause?

FCP X 10.2.2/Pro XAVC Long GOP compatibility bulle

September 7, 2015, 04:53 AM

http://www.provideocoalition.com/fcp-x-10-2-2-pro-...

Users of Sony’s PXW-X70 camcorder and Final Cut Pro X can now rejoice, since FCP X 10.2.2 finally brings direct support to the superior XAVC L format, which allows for up to 4:2:2 10-bit 1080p recording (and optionally 4K UHD) with this camera model. If you have been following this telenovela, you know that FCP X has been the tardiest of all popular pro editing software to support this format. However, you must update much more than just FCP X in order to achieve the desired compatibility...

calibrate the workflow to find if instant round-trip of the codec wrapper combo is compatible and any clips that passed the test can reconform, 2 for 1 workflow. I have been using the workflow to tech an Avid online reconform, and/ or clearly see why a clip is not relinking.

The aftermath of the film vs video debate - A PVC

You don't often see articles like these anymore, where a famous filmmaker or cinematographer explains their decision to move away from film/celluloid in favor of video/digital. A few years ago this sort of thing was a big deal, but now using film is the exception rather than the rule. Sure, there are plenty of A-list directors who are still using and championing film, but the numbers don’t lie. Movie film stock sales have dropped by 96% since 2006. Fujifilm has stopped production of the m...
