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

Mid-Life Career Change Results in Editing Emmys

For many editors, receiving the golden statuette during an Emmy Creative Arts Awards ceremony for Outstanding Multi-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series would represent the peak of a successful career. For Sue Federman, this was her second Emmy from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for cutting the same show, How I Met Your Mother.

Codecs / workflow: Making the optimum choice PT2

November 20, 2012, 10:46 PM

In part one, I described how tapeless cameras offer a wide choice of codecs, with some also having the ability to output raw and/or uncompressed files. The next step in the workflow is to choose an edit codec and then a delivery codec. The choice of edit codec should be influenced by the delivery codec in order to maximize the video quality.

No audio monitor company dominates the audio post marketplace, but Genelec can rightfully claim to be a top provider in this area of the industry. Outpost Digital, a New York City-based audio and video post production company, added 13 post suites to its complex in 2011, and recently upgraded three surround sound rooms.
