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

Grass Valley EDIUS is an extremely powerful and realtime multiformat NLE capable of handling resolutions up to 4K and 3D material. Many Adobe Premiere Pro editors can benefit by using the additional enhancements found in EDIUS, especially since the editing experience between the two NLEs is almost exactly the same.

Facing the Future

For many years, CG artists and animators have tried to reproduce human faces digitally and to produce creatures with human emotions that play across their faces. Those with a keen eye for detail have painstakingly copied expressions frame by frame from video onto digital characters. And for many years, CG scientists have helped make that task easier and faster by creating camera- and sensor-based systems that capture, with various degrees of accuracy and artistry, human faces in motion – thus,...

YouTube/VP9/4K - Get Off the Dime

January 14, 2014, 02:47 PM

When YouTube sneezes, the codec world catches the 'flu, even if the cause of the sneeze was totally innocuous. So it was with YouTube's announcement that they will show 4K video encoded with VP9 at CES with hardware partners including Sony, Intel and many others. From the coverage in the press, which extended all the way to CNN, you would think that this meant a death knell for HEVC. Even a cursory analysis reveals that it’s a pretty meaningless non-event; very much like the initial WebM annou...
