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

The Home Stretch - Marfa Pt 2

August 31, 2011, 09:14 AM

http://www.chris-portal.com/2011/08/30/whats-next-...

Many people at the screening were asking for copies of the film. Barefoot Workshops is planning to provide copies to the hotel or library for locals to check-out and borrow. They will also be posting it on their web site with limited access (more on this in a moment). People outside of Marfa have also been asking for an opportunity to see the film. I’d love to post it here, but this is where things are at right now...

The Home Stretch - Marfa pt.3

Day 12 is hard to pin point. The last few days of the Marfa, TX workshop had started to become fuzzy, most of us getting about 4 hours of sleep the last few days, with an all-nighter going from day 11 to day 12 that made everything a blur. The team was rushing and stressing through our edit most of Thursday, not really seeing how it was going to come together, but by the early morning hours on Frida...

With the release of Final Cut Pro 7, we can now export marker data as a tab-delimited text file. This allows us to analyze, format, search, print, and share marker data.

Intel's Thunderbolt technology has peaked the curiosity of many people in post-production. It has also gained interest by the average at the consumer looking to share content, such as HD videos and images. Thunderbolt promise blazing speeds unlike any connect before. As fall is introducing itself to us, so are brand new Thunderbolt peripherals.

How CS5 Will Change the Way You Work

August 30, 2011, 03:05 PM

http://library.creativecow.net/lincoln_matthew/Pre...

As we enter an age where our raw footage is either so compressed that recompression for an online edit seems like a very silly option, or so beautifully flexible that we shouldn’t be binding it with the permanence many budgets and minds associate with a transcode to ProRes, the stage is being set for raw workflows based in metadata. This is where Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 shines.

Keep a log for easy troubleshooting

I recently opened up a project that, just the day before, had played fine. Suddenly, there were constant dropped frames. I was playing the same footage off the same drive- what could be wrong? Luckily, there's a bit of preventative troubleshooting I do to make troubleshooting a bit easier when things go wrong.

Six Months Later, How's Thunderbolt Doing?

It's been a little more than six months since Apple surprised the PC industry by pushing Thunderbolt technology out into the world — even though there were no peripherals in existence using the 10 Gbps connection, Apple was supremely confident that, once they built the jack into computers, peripheral-makers would figure out things to fill...

Compression is a Background Activity

August 30, 2011, 09:38 AM

http://www.larryjordan.biz/tips/tip266.html

Compressor isn't used to compress a clip. Just like Share, Compressor is used to determine the compression settings for a clip, then it hands the file over to another program to compress the file.

DFT releases Rays plugin

Rays, you either love them or hate them, but used right they can add a lot of impact or subtle realism. Digital Film Tools have upgraded their Rays plugin to work with Final Cut Pro X.
