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

Microsoft announced several months ago that the standard version of Windows 8 would not play back DVD discs, although it will be able to do so with the optional Windows Media Center add-on.

With the proliferation of digital video cameras, everyone has been trying to make them look more like film. Assuming that your camera shoots at the right frame rate and offers film-like motion blur and highlight handling, the rest gets down to grain and colorimetry. That's where various software tools and filters come in. A new [...]

Need a ton of storage space, but want it neatly managed in a low-power, always-on, highly redundant box? Well you need a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device or enclosure for your hard drives! The real question though is which one should you buy? Price is a factor, but so is dependability, maximum storage, ease-of-use, and simple setup. This week we want to know which NAS enclosures you think rise above the rest.

This little mLogic Thunderbolt extension box looks like a slinky addition to your Mac, but hidden within it is some hardcore tech to give your laptop a serious shot in the arm—for a price.

We at Videomaker are always happy when we see young people experimenting with video. We saw some of Dara Flynn's videos on the Circle of Light YouTube channel, including the short film On the Run. On the Run is still the work of a learning video creator, so it's not perfect: The lighting is a little uneven and some of the sound is a little muffled...

If you haven’t noticed, MacBook Pro computers have become valuable production tools and you’ll often see them on set or in your post production facility. With the inclusion of Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, your MacBook Pro can handle a lot of professional post needs, previously only performed by bulky Mac Pros. But with the thin MacBook Pros, and especially the Macbook Airs, you will be giving up some functionality, especially in terms of peripheral ports.

If you aren’t quite ready to buy a somewhat-outdated USD930 Thunderbolt display, your Thunderbolt MacBook docking station options are pretty thin. Or they were pretty thin. Matrox began shipping their USD249 DS1 Thunderbolt Docking stations today that were announced way back in June and were originally scheduled for September.

One name that is a standard in photography and videography is Tiffen. With their wide array of filters, from circular polarizers to neutral density filters and even infrared filters, people like me who only dabble in photography have definitely heard the name Tiffen. Naturally, when I was scrubbing through my Twitter feed on #Postchat and all other forms of post hash tags like #postdontstop, I found the Tiffen Dfx V.3 video plug-in to be blazing trails on the scene.
