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

NVIDIA Maximus and Premiere Pro CS5.52

With the advent of version 5.52 of Premiere Pro, Adobe offered support for what NVIDIA calls Maximus on the PC platform. Maximus in essence is a Quadro card combined with a Tesla card. Okay, what's a Tesla card? Basically, it's a Quadro card without the display outputs – essentially, a headless GPU processing powerhouse.

Adobe Media Encoder - another hidden gem?

Suppose you wanted a perfectly useful workhorse of a video application to slip in completely under the radar and be as underutilized as possible. What would you do to kill its chances of being discovered? For starters, you would introduce an early version - the debut perhaps – that wasn't quite ready and was therefore unreliable, in terms of features and stability, in order to scare off the early adapters.

Results: Which Hard Drives Do You Use

Everyone has a certain company that they trust or go with more than others. I decided to see what is the most popular hard drive manufacturer among video editors. The answer kind of surprised me. It looks like Western Digital reigns supreme, which I didn't think was going to happen.

After years of passing on my own anecdotal recommendations, I recently reached out to some of the industry's leading editors and post-production educators to hear their response when presented with the question "What advice do you have for new or aspiring editors."

Where is Thunderbolt?

I needed to buy more storage for my editing system – as if needing more storage for video editing is a surprise or something… Anyway, I decided that since one of my editing systems supports Thunderbolt, I would buy a Thunderbolt RAID. Except the only ones on the market seemed to be from Promise Technology.
