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

In case you ever wondered how a 1-hour TV drama gets cut, here’s a time lapse video of a typical 14-day schedule, starting with the first day of dailies. It shows the editor progressing through the editor’s cut, the director’s cut, adding sound and music, and finishing with the network cut.

Getting Familiar with the AJA IO Express

I got my hands on an AJA IO Express and so far I am loving it. As I have explained before, I decided to go with a the 17 inch MacBook Pro for my home editing system because I usually work in other offices where Mac Pros are provided. The AJA IO Express is a great upgrade for my system. It’s takes it up a step or two in terms of making me feel like I have a complete system on the go or in the office. So far I have used it with Avid Media Composer 5.5...

Is this the best free plug-in ever?

One thing that used to drive me crazy was when a client asked me if I could pull a video off the internet. The short answer I always gave was....."sort of"......or "it depends on what type of video". Well, I don’t say that anymore. With this absolutely free plug-in for both Mac and Windows, this once annoying "problem" now becomes a piece of cake.

AVID 5.5: AMA & EXPORTING AAF NOW WORKS

March 21, 2011, 08:23 PM

http://lfhd.net/2011/03/21/avid-5-5-ama-exporting-...

A little less than a year ago, I reviewed the new Avid Media Composer v5 software. Buried in that otherwise good review...at the bottom of the review...I mentioned that even though AMA was cool and nice, you couldn’t export an AAF or OMF from a project that contained AMA material. You’d get an error stating that the media needed to be Avid media in order to export an AAF.

TAPE and TAPELESS... AND SHOOTING RATIOS

March 21, 2011, 07:11 PM

http://lfhd.net/2011/03/21/tape-tapeless-and-shoot...

I have worked on a couple shows that were shot on film. The shows I worked on were shot on Super 16mm, and it was, and still is, an expensive process. The film stock isn’t cheap (although cheaper than some tape formats), but then you need to add into that the film processing and telecine to tape. And we wouldn’t receive the footage for the day’s shoot until the following day, when we needed time to capture it.
