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

Apple’s new MacBook Pro has garnished what seems to be endless praise for its high performance, power efficiency, and impressive battery life, thanks to the M1 System on a Chip.

If you haven’t yet seen the major end sequence in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, you might want to stop reading right now. Let’s just say it involves a giant alien starfish called Starro and a LOT of destruction. Which meant that the filmmakers, including production visual effects supervisor Kelvin McIlwain, called in regular climactic sequence creator Weta Digital to orchestrate a ton of large-scale animation and effects simulations.

By Mike McCarthy The High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC), or H.265, is a processing-intensive codec for both encode and decode that leads to higher video quality at lower data rates. There have been both CPUs and GPUs available for years that have dedicated hardware within them to accelerate HEVC encoding and decoding. But this hardware acceleration requires specific support within software applications to use them.  Continue reading → December 14, 2021 The post Hardware-Accelerated HEVC (H....
