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

David Skeggs, Workflow Designer at root6, considers the uptake of LTFS and asks – what’s not to like? LTFS (Linear Tape File System) was introduced just over two years ago and, during that time, has provoked considerable discussion within our industry. I guess the first question to ask is what was the idea behind it? I don’t think it’s fair to say its introduction was to replace.TAR and .PAX file formats which were traditionally used by tape archive/backup software, but rather that it...

When the Xserve joined the great server farm in the sky, Mac-minded datacenters everywhere were left without a true rackmountable computer; even the current Mac mini wasn't designed for those kinds of tight spaces.

Do you have money riding on a bet that the line of computers Apple's planning to manufacture in the US next year is the Mac Pro? Well, Fortune believes there's a good chance you're right. According to an article by the business publication, there are a few factors that add up to suggest the new Mac Pro will be the domestically produced product.

Director David O. Russell's shooting style proved the biggest challenge to Jay Cassidy when he was editing Silver Linings Playbook. The director worked intensely with the actors, using a process that helped the actors discover and develop their characters on set.

Assimilate Scratch v6 users can now use AMD’s new FirePro W8000 and V7900-SDI graphics cards. The performance is due to GPU acceleration performance and the low-latency frame synchronisation between AMD FirePro W-series graphics cards and third-party SDI I/O hardware. Scratch v6 users should also benefit from the monitoring and colour accuracy required for colour grading and final conform stages.

A digital video file is a bunch of 0's and 1's. Let's assume that the file data can be preserved for a very long time. Hard disk drives have short lives, but they can pass the data on to other storage media. I'm wondering what format (codec and container format) to make a digital video file today so it has the best chance of being readable 20, 50, or 100 years from now.
