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

Avid MC Tio: Media to Bin

Sorry for the LONG delay in posting anything. Tough finding things to post about. I will have more soon, I am just in the middle of a project, not done yet, so I can’t post a tip that I’ll be using on that. And not much earth shattering in terms of workflow or tips have come across my desk. Although I owe a few reviews...I’ll be doing those soon.

Avoiding Final Cut’s Rendering

November 5, 2010, 10:03 AM

Officially, Final Cut Pro doesn’t support the media files produced by DLSRs like the Canon 7D or Nikon D90. That’s not entirely true; you can import those files into a Final Cut project without doing conversion, and add them to a Timeline quite happily. The annoying part is that no matter how you set up the Project, Final Cut will want you to Render the Timeline before it will play it back in real time in the preview window.

A Plea for Help with Premiere CS5

November 5, 2010, 10:02 AM

http://postfifthpictures.com/2010/11/a-plea-for-he...

I keep getting this error and having Premiere CS5 crash on me. I’m editing native 7D footage mostly. I can’t figure out the problem and I’m about 85% done with the project. This obviously doesn’t help my opinion of Premiere Pro and I will write more about my positive and negative experiences later.

How to change mpeg-1 export settings in compressor

I would like to start by saying that I don’t know why anyone would ever want to use MPEG-1. I do get requests to make them, and sometimes I am unable to convince the person to go with another codec. It is a terribly outdated codec and most people requesting them are using terribly outdated spec sheets, or are just themselves outdated. Nonetheless the situation occurs where I am forced to make one and it was always fraught with problems.

Fredrick Wiseman: Luck, Judgement and Patience

I got some insight into what kind of temperament one needs to sustain a 60 year career in documentary when I asked Fredrick Wiseman what I imagined to be a fair question: What recent trends in documentary film do you find heartening or perhaps disheartening? "I don't go to films. I mostly read." I pressed him: "You don't watch films? When you go to film festivals or these kinds of events?"

MovieMaker magazine, professes to be "The World’s Best-Selling Independent Movie Magazine." So when the editor solicited me for an article for their Fall edition in exchange for ad space about my latest book (Film Editing: Great Cuts Every Filmmaker and Movie Lover Must Know), I accepted her proposition. I wrote and titled this extensive piece weeks...

If you have been paying attention to PVC lately, you may have read my recent article "An Aerial Adventure." If you haven’t, go ahead and have a look. I’ll wait. There, now wasn’t that fun? You may remember that my experience with Loran Nordgren and his AirCam aircraft wasn’t entirely successful.
