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

Apple’s new iFrame codec implementation

October 28, 2009, 08:25 PM

So recently Apple released specs on a new video format they are calling iFrame. What is it, and how will it affect you, the video professional? As all consumer codecs seem to trickle into the professional space in one way or another, I expect the same to happen with this format.

The Pros and Cons of Fast Scrub

If you’re using Avid’s new DX hardware (Nitris or Mojo), then you’ve probably been using "Fast Scrub," perhaps without knowing it. This is a slick new feature that makes the timeline more responsive, by dramatically improving the number of frames displayed as you drag. Fast Scrub offers some of the smoothest timeline performance in the business —

Unofficial Avid Podcast

The Avid Screencast is a free podcast about showing you cool (and maybe sometimes not so cool) tricks that apply to pretty much all Avid editing platforms. Whether it’s shiny transitions, workflow improvements or just stuff that’s new and you hopefully didn’t know about before. I’m also thinking of doing a Avid 101 series, but let’s not get ahead.

FCP Rumours

I was on a small vacation last week with limited Internet access but the occasional check of the Twitters surprised me with this tweet about what may/may not be the next version of Final Cut Pro: that long rumored Super-duper Final Cut Pro Extreme Master Suite, remade from a blank slate...

FCP Vs. AVID Redux

October 18, 2009, 08:10 PM

http://www.videoguys.com/Blog/E/Final+Cut+vs+Avid+...

People like competition for its own sake, so the NLE argument – just like other platform wars – never dies. In the past year, Apple and Avid have broken new ground with very solid updates to their flagship editor applications. Apple with its introduction of the "new" Final Cut Studio, featuring Final Cut Pro 7 – and Avid, first with Media Composer 3.5 and now 4.0.

Expert Connections

Two weeks ago I was fortunate enough to attend an editing workshop with double Emmy award winning editor Kris Trexler where we looked at how he cuts the genre he’s most known for namely television comedy. Suffice to say I got a great deal from the two days he spent with us some of which I want to share with you today. But beyond that it got me to thinking...
