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

How to choose the right GPU for your workstation

In 2019, most people are aware of the debt owed by filmmaking (and several other fields) to video games. Companies like Sega have been putting together massive PCBs full of silicon to render game graphics since the 80s, but it wasn’t until the era of home gaming, loosely called the sixth generation, that the potential of games hardware to do other useful work became obvious. Or, to be fair, when the PlayStation 2 was released, it was immediately pretty clear that the thing was, effectively, gr...

Lesspain releases Kyno 1.7 - and it makes ProRes w

Version 1.7 of Lesspain Software’s Kyno, now available, now offers ProRes as one of the many output codec options for its transcoding features. OK, it’s not the first piece of software to offer ProRes encoding on Windows, but it’s massively helpful to see the feature emerge in a piece of software that already supported more or less everything else. There are two versions of Kyno; the standard version at £139, or the premium option at £319. Happily, both of these options are perpetual lic...
