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

You may have seen this before but people keep sending it to me so I thought I'd repost it.

Seems like we’re often being handed MP3 files to use in our video projects. It might be a sound effect or an audio track we’ve got the rights to use. The problem is that the MP3 format is not very good for video editing (wrong sample rate... rarely works in real-time). Fortunately there’s an easy fix... iTunes. If you don’t have access to the original files, you should convert the compressed files to an AIFF file for use in a video editing or motion graphics tool.

"What do you see as the start of the music video era?" I asked Dean. He believes it began with promos for the Rolling Stones and that then in the 80s every watched Michael & Janet Jackson’s "Scream." "There were a lot of bold, artistic voices," he enthused. "Now, it’s not the artist, it’s the image." He noted that budgets have skyrocketed although you create a low budget music video for a big band for 20K.

Singular Software's PluralEyes is a piece of Final Cut Pro companion software that can automatically sync multiple cameras and audio sources by scanning the audio waveforms. When it arrived I hoped for an Avid version, but predicted that it would never happen.

In reviewing Part 1 of this article, I did notice that I left out one of the more important "pros" of the Baselight system, and that is its directly integrated support for the Truelight color management system. Truelight, like Baselight, is a Filmlight product, and Baselight is designed around the use of that technology for all color management functions, a great advantage. Now.....

You can do very basic video editing on the iPod Touch: trimming the beginning or end of your clip. In the Photos app, open the video you want to edit from the Camera Roll album, and then tap the screen to bring up the playback controls, including the frame-viewer bar at the top of the screen.

Terry starts the discussion about audio levels and the perception of loudness, in the wake of the recent FCC ruling. This leads to the main discussion of deliverables: aka "pining for PAL vs NTSC"! Formats and deliverable metadata add to the complication that delivering a program has become.

What do NBC’s 30 Rock and HBO’s Bored to Death have in common? Both are award-winning half-hour comedies that poke fun at their creators/head writers/executive producers (Tina Fey and Jonathan Ames, respectively). Both just had their season premieres in September. More interesting from a post-production perspective, however, is that both shows are cut by the editing team of Ken Eluto, A.C.E., and Meg Reticker, who work 11 months out of the year on the two series.

Posting ARRI ALEXA’s ProRes clips is going to follow many of the established workflows. The fact that it’s a new camera doesn’t really make much difference. The camera generates direct-to-edit ProRes media with embedded timecode and reel IDs. These are self-contained files without a folder hierarchy to mess you up, like with P2 or XDCAM. These media files are immediately ready to edit with most modern...

Without a doubt, the greatest challenge for HDSLR shooters has been editorial. I recently read of another new software that’s supposed to magically make your HDSLR footage palatable for the finicky Final Cut Pro. Why you would ever want to put yourself through the misery and expense of purchasing an additional piece of software that takes hours to work and may crash your computer just so you can cut with FCP is beyond me. The good news is, now you don’t have to...
