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

Will Accounting Woes at Avid Spark Big Changes or an Acquisition? Chris Potter March 5, 2013Business, Trends Last week Avid announced that it was postponing its fourth quarter 2012 earnings release "to provide additional time for the Company to evaluate its current and historical accounting treatment related to bug fixes, upgrades and enhancements to certain products which the Company has provided to certain customers".

It happens every week, sometime multiple times a week. I stare at my computer screen and think to myself, “What settings do I want to use?” I’m talking of course about the settings I will use for the videos I compress for online playback.

LSI announced that its Nytro WarpDrive cards have been validated for use with NetApp Flash Accel software, making them amongst the first PCIe flash devices to have been qualified for Flash Accel use. Together with NetApp Flash Accel software, LSI's Nytro WarpDrive family of cards speed application performance by converting server-based flash into data cache critical for enterprise applications.

Despite all the energy it's been putting into mobile and gaming, NVIDIA hasn't fallen out of love with its professional graphics customers. In fact, it's in the process of trying to rekindle those sparks of romance through the clever use of chocolates, shoulder rubs and fresh additions to its Kepler-based Quadro lineup. We've already seen (and played with) the $2,249 K5000 flagship, but those of us on lower budgets will now be able to snag the K4000, K2000 or K600 as they begin to enter...

The Academy Awards should have been a good night for Avid; Argo was edited on Avid, and all five nominees for Film Editing were also edited on Avid. But on Monday Avid announced that it was postponing its fourth quarter earnings report due to “accounting problems.” They have not said when they will announce their results.
