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
Working with H.264 footage from a Canon 7D

While color correcting some 7D footage yesterday I noticed that the gamma levels on the original H.264 and the converted ProRes(HQ) files were different. The ProRes having considerably darker black levels. The clips were converted to ProRes though Magic Bullet Grinder (thank you Stu) and MPEGStreamclip. The converted files appear darker and the blacks levels look more crunched than the orig H.264 clip.

Well, it had to happen sometime. I can only say that I must be blessed or something to have been editing on my own system for...what, 6 years now?... and not one time did I have a drive fail on me in the middle of an edit. I have had failures AFTER I delivered. Or when I was loading something. A G-Raid here, LaCie there...bare Hitachi internal one other time. But not once DURING an edit have I had a RAID fail.

Select which audio tracks you capture or ingest. In both the Log & Capture window and the Log & Transfer window, you can specify which audio tracks you want to bring into Final Cut.
FCP Helpers

Apple Final Cut Pro is generally said to be an 80/20 application, trading off some niche features for a lower price. More often than not, this descriptor is meant in the negative. Avid editors using FCP frequently lament about media management, render files and so on when comparing FCP with Media Composer.

Preditor, The Hydra that Never Sleeps

One of the wonderful things about being on Twitter is that you get to exchange pleasantries with folks from all over the world without really bothering yourself with such banalities as time zones. After a while though you start to realise something pretty fundamental. No-one sleeps. Many of us are so-called Preditors, those people that do everything in production.
