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

Saw this posted on a Facebook User Group and it’s great information for anyone in Production who uses the new Mac Pro (trash can) models.  Apparently there is a method to using the three Thunderbolt Busses on the machine to ensure good data throughput, especially from your external RAID.   Very good information here from FCP Works.

Capturing pre-recorded materials for a fast-paced reality production, like the 20th anniversary season of Dancing With the Stars (DWTS), is never short of challenging.

By Brady Betzel While I wasn’t able to get to Las Vegas for NAB this year, I was definitely there in spirit thanks to constant Twitter updates and blog posts around the web. The company that stood out to me the most was Blackmagic Design. They introduced tons of awesome equipment and products, including the latest update to DaVinci Resolve. I was really interested in what I was seeing: multicam workflow, AAF exporting, 3D tracking… it was overwhelming. You might have noticed, that in a...
