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
Markers are your friend

If you cut long-form projects, then markers in Apple Final Cut Pro or locators in Avid Media Composer are an essential tool. This is one of the subtle yet workflow-changing improvements Apple made in FCP7. The developers added the ripple feature to markers, which allows timeline markers to stay pegged with the relevant clip on the timeline as you insert of delete other clips. It’s a feature that had been in Media Composer since the beginning of locators, but was a welcome change to Final Cut.

Videoguys now carries Glyph's new portable RAID-protected storage device, the PortaGig 62 . Modeled after Glyph’s successful GT 062E, a larger desktop RAID, the 1/2/3TB PortaGig 62 has two 5400RPM drives inside, and is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. A quiet internal fan provides maximum airflow and proper cooling - critical to the performance and reliability of the components.
DualEyes – Simplification At Its Best

Although the results are worth it, working with HD DSLRs is nothing but a series of workarounds. Perhaps the biggest workaround is sound because the cameras do not provide professional XLR inputs and on most HD DSLRs, you cannot kill the AGC (auto gain control), which enables you to manually control sound levels. Because of this, a large number of filmmakers have been forced to go "old school" in shooting dual system sound...

Video Editing : Family Time: Cutting the Album

Like many people, I had the practice of keeping all the pictures I shot — good and bad. As a result, I had between 10 and 50 lousy shots in my photo drawer for every one that was halfway decent! I now understand that the essence of all editing is really just "keeping the best and throwing away the rest!"

Episode 23: The tape shortage crisis

Terence and Philip start discussing the tape shortage crisis – particularly HDCAM SR – caused by the situation in Japan: is tape dead, or will it merely lead to a resurgence of D5? Who’s accepting file-based delivery, is that even practical, and who gets to drive the need for tape delivery?
