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

We all know one of the chief drawbacks to shooting with (current generation) DSLRs are the rolling shutter artifacts that show up on shaky or fast-panning shots. It turns out that iMovie '11, in addition to interesting movie trailer templates, includes a filter that can decrease or eliminate these annoying artifacts. Here’s a comparison from Nino Leitner of some Canon T2i footage, before and after using the iMovie '11 filter:

Two days till we kick out the jams at the 2010 AES Show. I’ll be going, and you might be going, but what about those other folks that can’t make it but want to be in the loop about what we’re doing at the show? Well we have those folks covered too.

Nearly a year after Next Element Studios opened its doors in Burbank, the facility has reopened as a Deluxe Entertainment facility, Next Element by Deluxe. Deluxe acquired Next Element in April and spent six months undergoing an expansion and redevelopment. In the meantime, the company’s on-location post solution, mobilabs, has been busy creating color-corrected dailies in Detroit for ABC crime series Detroit 1-8-7 and, some months ago, in Shreveport, LA, for ABC drama The Gates.

Canon EOS digital SLR's shoot amazing HD video with shallow depth of field and great low light sensitivity. However, one drawback is the H.264 codec these cameras use to record video. Most non-linear editing programs cannot play these files in real time unless you have an extremely fast computer. The footage must be transcoded to ProRes format or other intermediate formats before editing. This is where DVFilm Epic I (Epic One) for Mac comes in. The transcoding step is eliminated.

The FCP nerds are fighting with the Avid geeks again. We should probably separate them before someone gets a grass stain on their shirt. If you aren’t too busy working with either system to care, you can read the pros and cons from either side here and here. Absent from this NLE point-counterpoint blog war is the dark horse that is Adobe Premiere CS5, which is seriously kicking ass lately. Enough ass stomping power that I’m personally considering using it on a few projects in leu of FCP...

Proponents of AVC-I compression have been quick to seize on a simple, and we believe simplistic, claim: "Twice the compression efficiency of MPEG-2." It’s a bold promise that has a nice ring to it and has been repeated ad infinitum. The only problem: it just isn’t true.
