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

What is Apple doing with a solar factory?

November 7, 2013, 05:38 AM

http://www.tgdaily.com/sustainability-features/812...

The jumbo-sized facility was built to make solar panels, but even with First Solar on a big upswing now, that plan was torpedoed for good by the great solar manufacturing collapse of 2010-11, which unfolded after China went on a crazed panel-making binge. And now that big empty building in Arizona is going to Apple, to be used by a company called GT that supplies specialty glass for i-things.

What To Do With Avid MediaLog?

Back in the days of tapes-based workflows, MediaLog was a handy tool to provide loggers, producers and other contributing collaborators to participate in the dailies prep process. It still has deck control, timecode support, clip creation, logging, ALE import/export and the ability to open Avid projects and bins.

Video Editor is Not a Synonym for Graphics Artist

October 31, 2013, 09:56 AM

http://www.screenlight.tv/blog/2013/10/30/video-ed...

If you’ve ever searched for a job as a video editor I bet you’ve come across a motion graphics artist position labeled as one on accident. The professions sit next to each other like books in a library. They are quite different despite starting with the same numbers in this fictitious Dewey Decimal System.

Avid Metadata Logging and Tracking

October 29, 2013, 12:30 PM

http://24p.com/wordpress/?p=101

Many times I get asked what the different columns do in Media Composer as far as logging metadata and how one column may be better than another for a certain workflow. A very useful document has been updated to reflect changes with Media Composer v7 and also has a quick primer on the ALE header specification for different project types.
