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

Technology Talk: how big a deal is 4:2:2?

March 15, 2011, 09:09 AM

http://www.macvideo.tv/editing/interviews/?article...

4:2:2 used to be outside the reach of many independents who were locked into the world of 4:2:0 or 4:1:1 production. Now that Apple's 10-bit, full raster ProRes codec is widely used in the post production industry, the codec has also found it's way into devices enabling native ProRes recording on acquisition. The advantageous are clear: 10-bit, full raster, very high quality recording; with a smooth, efficient, post-production process. The questions remain - do you need 4:2:2?

The result is a 4:2:2 ProRes recording, free from the compression artifacts which plague many low-cost cameras.

Since Apple showed a new version of Final Cut Pro behind closed doors, the internets have been flooded with all manner of speculation as to what is so groundbreaking about the latest update to FCP. Idle speculation alert — if you’re not a Final Cut-based editor or you simply don’t care about what could be, feel free to skip this post — we’ll get proper news soon enough.
