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

Singular Software | Presto Review

July 27, 2011, 03:07 PM

I once produced a video recording of a software demonstration. To do it, I set up one video camera recording the projected demo, and another to record the presenter. Once that was recorded, I imported the two video tracks, synched them up - which was not that difficult - and then spent a lot of time finessing the whole thing together.

Okay, it's not really an official day as declared by whatever power out there that declares official days but it is one frustrated editor’s attempt to make a statement about his dissatisfaction with Final Cut Pro X. Mike J. Nichols is probably best known as the guy behind the recutting of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace into The Phantom Edit.

Notes from using CS5.5 in the real-world

July 27, 2011, 11:09 AM

Adobe Premiere Pro has been back in the post-production public consciousness for quite a while. Now at version 5.5 it feels like Adobe began really pushing it when the Mercury Playback Engine was added in 5. I've been toying with it off and on for quite a while now but with the recent release of Final Cut Pro X I wanted to give it a real-world, client in the room test. In the end it was both very good, kinda bad ... and a little bit ugly.

Archiving in the Digital Age

Archiving of media assets has been, and always will be, the red-headed step-child of the movie and TV business. It costs money now for an uncertain return at an unknown date––which doesn't make for a very appealing budget line item. When production was film-based, negative trims and outtakes were routinely stored in vaults and available for either stock usage or restoration purposes for many decades.
