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

Is 3D TV Dead or Just Dormant?

January 22, 2014, 10:51 AM

http://www.schubincafe.com/2014/01/22/is-3d-tv-dea...

Having been a major focus at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2011 and 2012, 3D TV receded in focus in 2013, and all but disappeared at the 2014 show where it was largely supplanted by 4K technology. While some signs point to the technology being dead in the water — and it’s certainly no longer the belle of the ball — it just might have a future yet.

Resolve 10.1 update brings new FCPX features

Blackmagic Design has announced a free update to version 10.1 for their DaVinci Resolve. It adds the support for Final Cut Pro 10.1, but the list of changes is quite substantial - there is plenty of new editing and 3D stereoscopic features. What's interesting is how much Resolve is becoming an independent editing application. Is it possible that Blackmagic would like to compete with other NLEs in the future? Given it's update course, it may be the case. Meanwhile, here are some of the new featur...
