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 Perfect Match Event

ozDocs came through with an excellent session on the relationship between editors and the rest of the creative team, in which the cutters came from the shadows with a few hard-won home truths. Tina Kaufman was enchanted. We all know the scene. The prizewinning director at the awards night gratefully thanks the editor and the wonderful partnership they have formed in the cutting room to craft the winning documentary. And perhaps it has happened this way; after all, it has often been said that...

In my general computing use, as an editor and general geek, there’s a bunch on online tools I use a lot for various things. I thought I’d mention a few here for anyone who has some of the same needs as I do. These are in no particular order, and are just the ones that have come to mind as I’ve been putting the list together.

Review: Avid Media Composer 5
October 5, 2010, 01:43 PM
http://www.studiodaily.com/studiomonthly/currentis...
I can say without reservation that Avid Media Composer 5 is an upgrade that truly deserves the "Hot" rating from our product review ranking index. Media Composer has been one of the top nonlinear editors since the existence of NLEs. In fact, it pretty much jump-stared the whole NLE revolution. Version 5 contains a ton of new features (several quite earth-shattering, if you're a longtime Avid editor) that answered many previous customer requests and complaints.
Useful Tools for Editors: Render Notification
October 5, 2010, 12:45 PM
http://www.studiodaily.com/blog/?p=4368
Have you ever set a looooong render on one of your favorite post-production applications and watched as the render bar ticked away and the app tried to give you a best guess as to how long the render might take? And have you ever watched in frustration as the actual length of time it took to complete the render was way longer than the estimate?
De-interlacing in Apple Final Cut Pro
October 5, 2010, 12:44 PM
http://digitalcontentproducer.com/videoedsys/revfe...
Though many producers now exclusively shoot in progressive mode, few producers don't have some interlaced footage that they need to work with, whether legacy DV or some HD format shot more recently in interlaced mode. When producing for TV or DVD, interlaced works just fine. But when producing for streaming, or for film-based output, de-interlacing is necessary to convert the interlaced fields into progressive frames.
Heliocentric Pantheon: An Interview with Murch
October 5, 2010, 11:32 AM
http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/heliocentric-...
As it happens, Murch's interests go far beyond the reach of cinema, encompassing architecture, astronomy, music theory, and mathematics – among an almost impossibly broad range of other subjects. When a friend of mine casually mentioned that Walter had "discovered" something about the Pantheon, in Rome, and that this discovery had something to do with Nicolaus Copernicus and the origins of heliocentrism in Western astronomy, I was determined to write about it for BLDGBLOG. Within only a few...
