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

Final Cut Pro X Guts Part Deux

November 15, 2012, 01:52 PM

http://fcpworkflow.wordpress.com/2012/11/14/final-...

Had some real issues yesterday. I had loaded all of the footage and it was separately captured down and that lead to some unexpected outcomes. I was not part of the capture process so this wasn’t done straight off the camera / it was a lot of copying the files and pulling of raw MTS files.

AAPL Stock dips

http://9to5mac.com/2012/11/15/aapl-stock-dips-mark...

The Apple Bears appear to be winning over the past month and change. Apple’s stock price is now at its lowest price since May and is closing in on its February price in the 520s. At 530, Apple’s market cap is now below 500 billion. So much for those USD1 trillion valuations?

Ken Burns on the "Ken Burns Effect"

November 15, 2012, 07:47 AM

https://www.aotg.com/ken-burns-on-the-ken-burns-effect-2/

Ken Burns' name is eternally tied to the American historical documentary. Ask anyone what they think of when you mention his name, and they'll refer to the Ken Burns Effect, that technique he employs in all his films whereby the camera pans sideways over a photo and then zooms in. Accompanied by a charming musical score and folksy narration, the photo unarguably comes to life.

Consuming the Flavors of High Definition - BMD

After you've purchased that new camera, trying to ingest the new file type or resolution can cause the same effect, and slow down the process between shooting and editing.
