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

The Future of Final Cut Pro

http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/editingpost...
Yeah, it’s a testy subject for many, so of course Philip Hodgetts and I had to take it up in episode 12 of The Terence & Philip Show. This episode starts with discussion about a potential Adobe and Microsoft merger and its implications. Which leads into a discussion about 64 bit QuickTime. The primary discussion revolves around a discussion on what Philip thinks Apple should be doing with Final Cut Pro.

Deliverables For Post, A Nightmare?
November 26, 2010, 10:57 AM
http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/editingpost...
The discussion begins 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. The discussion veers into the endless discussion of generalist vs specialist before ending on the value of value.
Black Friday Deals for Filmmakers
November 25, 2010, 03:31 PM
http://nofilmschool.com/2010/11/black-friday-deals...
For those of you in America, happy Thanksgiving/Black Friday. In the spirit of retailers slashing prices to engender consumer stampedes, I went searching for Black Friday deals specific to filmmakers. I discovered, however, that most pro camera stores don’t participate in such an event, which is apparently constrained to the consumer world. So instead, here are some deals that might apply to filmmakers, at least on the low end (for example, you won’t see someone like RED slashing prices on a...

When it comes to top-quality post-production work, high-end toolsets are becoming more affordable to boutique users. That trend helped DI colorist Micah Kirz start his own New York company, Out of the Blue, with executive producer Steve Bodner this summer.
