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

When it comes time to edit your video, the hard drives you use are going to have a huge impact on the performance of your system. No matter how much RAM you have or how powerful of a video card, you just won't get real-time performance if your drives are a bottleneck.

Here is my schedule at NAB Post|Production World Conference. The conference runs April 9–13. The early bird price is still in place.

AV3 Software’s Get application was one of the highlights at last year’s NAB. Based on the same Nexidia search engine as Avid’s ScriptSync, Get brings dialogue-based search capabilities to Apple Final Cut Pro and eventually other editing applications. (In fact, Avid has recently introduced PhraseFind, which is Nexidia’s implementation of the same technology within the Media Composer 5.5 application.)

I’m worried. Ordinarily, an industry journalist at this time of year is forced into an undignified clamber over huge drifts of pre-NAB press releases just to reach the mailbox, but this year it’s been suspiciously quiet. More experienced hands tell me that this isn’t necessarily a bad sign, though, and I shouldn’t expect to turn up in Vegas and find that NAB 2011 comprises three people clustered around an Arri Alexa – although if this turns out to be the case, you will read about it he...

You’ve likely heard about the new interconnect technology called Thunderbolt. With two 10 Gbit/sec channels this has some interconnect power, at budget pricing. It’ll make a big difference when momentum gathers.

I’m pretty pleased with the way the latest episode of SMR turned out and there’s quite a lot in it that’s quite interesting so I thought it’d make a good case study looking at the way post-production can bring a project to life. It’s fair to say that the post in SMR is labour intensive, mind-numbingly, insanely post heavy. Each of these episodes is turning into a mini visual FX-laced short film now and we’re looking to push the production value up much higher in the coming months.
