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 iStoragePro Pocket View RAID Drive

iStoragePro has been on my radar for the past year. I had an opportunity to run their "Pocket View" setup and was pleasantly surprised to find a rugged and fast Raid configurable portable unit I could take anywhere. Last year, I reviewed their Pocket drive, and was impressed by it, so I sure anticipated that this setup wouldn't disappoint ... and it didn't. Looks nice with a MacBook Pro, too!

In a nut shell, many tech support issues we run into are graphics card related. While you may be able to save some bucks going with a gaming card, we feel confident that if you invest in a Quadro4000, you’ll be happy you did!

Avid Upgrades Media Composer Yet Again, to v. 5.5
February 18, 2011, 10:42 AM
http://www.studiodaily.com/blog/?p=5708
When talking software I think of new versions in two ways: updates and upgrades. Updates are more like the smaller "dot" releases that take a piece of software from version 2.0 to 2.0.1 or 2.1. Then there’s upgrades that move a full version from 2.0 to 3.0. Somewhere in between there’s upgradey-updates that move from, say, 5.0 to 5.5. Plus there’s the determining factor of what major features are added. The more and bigger they are, the more likely the release can be thought of as an upgra...
