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

On a chilly Oscar eve Saturday morning with many Academy Awards-related festivities going on around town, the American Cinema Editors (ACE) held its 11th annual Invisible Art Visible Artist Seminar with the Academy Award-nominated picture editors at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood.

WHEN EDDIE MET 'ALICE'

As award season madness reached fever pitch, editor Kirk Baxter chuckled that about having a "strange" experience this year—earning his industry’s highest honors for his editing work. He and Angus Wall, A.C.E., his co-editor on The Social Network, are more used to sitting there and not winning, Baxter said, chuckling, a couple days after they took home an Eddie Award for Best Edited Dramatic Feature Film from the America Cinema Editors’ 61st annual Eddie Awards in mid-February.

The Social Network's Editors Rifled Through R

Even the biggest The King’s Speech-backer must concede this: Whittling Aaron Sorkin's 160-page script down to a tight two hours was a stunning achievement. To date, the film’s editors, Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter, have earned themselves an Eddie, the field’s top honor, but this weekend they may just snag an Oscar, too. (Update: They did it!) Little Gold Men spoke with Baxter and Wall about director David Fincher’s process, the digital revolution, and why editing is like rifling through so...

Apple Brings Video Editing to the iPad 2

Thinner, lighter, and faster — per usual. Apple’s iPad 2 offers a number of updates from the first-gen gadget, including a dual-core A5 processor, magnetic "smart" cover, and biracial availability (it comes in white now, too). Shipping March 11th, the deuce also introduces a number of video-centric features: not just one but two cameras (front- and rear-facing), and it also premieres for the first time on the iPad Apple’s consumer video editing program, iMovie.

CUDA, Mercury Playback Engine, and Adobe Premiere

A few weeks ago, I wrote a forum post to try to clarify some things about CUDA, the Mercury Playback Engine, and what it all means for Adobe Premiere Pro. I wrote this as a forum post because I wanted to invite questions and conversation. But, as forum threads do, it got a little messy, so I thought that I should consolidate the information here.

Let’s talk about Thunderbolt ( and why wasn’t the name LightPeak good enough) The Thunderbolt technology offers users a 10 Gbps - that is roughly 1028 MB {1+ GIgbytes} per second data transfer as a Dual Channel, bi-directional, multi protocol connection, that also allows power over the cable a la FW.

Here’s a few more tidbits from today’s announcements: The new iPad will use the A5 chip and sport a dual-core processor, up to 2x faster, and up to 9x faster graphics. Should be a boon for gaming. $849 WiFi and 3G 64GB version.
