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

If we know anything about Drobo, their mission statement is to keep storage simple. The B1200i is no different; the 12-bay SAN has historically supported up to 48TB of storage via SATA and SAS hard drives via Drobo's BeyondRAID automatic and instantaneous drive management system.

jumP-Edited Art of Shaving Takes Prizes at Cannes

The retro-elegant Reformed Troglodyte short film, cut by jumP’s Michael Saia, emerged from the award season with a Bronze CLIO and a Titanium and Integrated prize in Cannes. A reflective 4:00 piece that follows a former playboy discarding the mementoes of his hard-partying life as he prepares to propose to a woman, the film is one of three in the Art of Shaving campaign directed by The Institute’s Ben Briand to celebrate the upscale shaving brand's 15th anniversary.

Media management, storage systems and video servers all employ varying degrees of metadata to keep track of the assets stored on their systems. Metadata is essential to the success of filebased workflows in MAM or in the cataloging process for active or archived media content.

Apple Granted Patent for Final Cut Pro Collaborate

http://www.videoguys.com/Blog/E/Apple+Granted+Pate...

In a review of Apple's Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3 in February, StudioDaily noted that "two nice things in the 10.0.1 update were the ability to apply a custom sequence starting timecode and XSAN support, which lets you support an XSAN volume for media and event storage." They concluded by stating that it didn't mean true collaborative editing was here yet but that it was a start. The interesting thing about this is that Apple was just granted a patent for Final Cut Pro this week and its total...

This Isn't a Blog Post About Mac Pros…

http://vanhurkman.com/wordpress/?p=2017

I wasn't going to chime in on this ongoing conversation, as frankly I don't know that I have anything meaningful to add, and there’s nothing worse then baseless speculation about Apple. However, friend and colleague Patrick Inhofer noticed a blog entry of mine dating from the summer of 2010, fully two years ago this month, in which I foolishly elected to weigh in on the topic in response to Apple's second to last, somewhat weak refresh of the Mac Pro line.
