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

Studio’s Top Stories of 2012: Part Two

December 28, 2012, 03:05 PM

http://www.studiodaily.com/2012/12/studios-top-sto...

One of my favorite tasks at the end of every year is digging into StudioDaily's analytics and tallying the pageviews for the most popular stories we published in the last 12-month period. The traffic stats always yield an interesting mix of content, from product reviews and case studies to NAB news and business stories. They reveal what we've been spending a lot of time thinking about in the last year and, sometimes, they reveal what we'll still be considering in the next one. Here's part 2...

The 'Lost interview' of Dede Allen

December 28, 2012, 02:25 PM

http://editorunderconstruction.blogspot.com/2012/1...

Michael Horton, founder of LACPUG (Los Angeles Creative Pro Users Group), found hitherto missing tapes of an interview with the prestigious editor Dede Allen, in 2006, four years before his death. Here you have the videos, a month after they were posted. If you haven't seen yet, I hope you enjoy the nearly two hours of wisdom.

VLC for Windows 8

December 28, 2012, 02:23 PM

http://www.lockergnome.com/news/2012/12/28/vlc-for...

One would think that introducing a new VLC for Windows 8 would be no huge deal. Unfortunately for users of Windows 8 RT with an Intel processor, support is not available. Over at Kickstarter, a company by the name of VideoLAN is preparing to solve this problem. According to VideoLAN, its software is open source and will run within the User Experience and will eventually support the ARM processor.

FCPX: How to Get Better Encoding Results

December 28, 2012, 02:22 PM

When you compress video for on-demand streaming, you primarily care about three things; quality, quality and… let’s see, oh yes, quality. If you’re been encoding H.264 video with Apple Compressor using the codec that Apple provides, you definitely haven’t been optimizing the quality of your video.

Story from Structure or Structure from Story

Here is a PDF based on the ideas presented by The London Script Consultancy, the people that organise the screenwriters group that I go to in London. It shows a line that represents how well the protagonist is doing. It starts with the line lower on the page. As the adventure starts, the protagonist does well – the line rises up the page.
