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

Apple ProRes is one of the most popular and commonly used codecs in professional post-production. The Apple ProRes family of video codecs has made it both possible and affordable to edit full-frame, 10-bit, 4:2:2 high-definition (HD), 2K, 4K, and 5K video sources with multistream performance in Final Cut Pro X.

Apple has released Update 2.0 for the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro late this afternoon. The 127.07 MB update "recommended for all Mac notebooks introduced in June 2012" is available via software update or directly on Apple’s website, as always. Today's update offers graphics performance, reliability enhancements, and improves compatibility with some USB devices, according to the folks in Cupertino.

How long will you wait for your new MAC PRO workstation? Apple are obviously in no hurry to update their pro product and have already missed the latest round of Intel chips, the E5 Xeon Series. All this non activity poses the question – Are Apple moving away from the pro?

We've been selling a lot of thunderbolt stuff over the last couple months and I've been very pleased with the performance and convenience of the products. Thunderbolt seems to be a big win.

There's a certain sense to recent rumors that Apple may trade the Intel chips in its Macs for the company's own processors. Apple is, after all, the poster child of a company that wants to control its own destiny: It makes its own hardware and software, and is a proponent of the "walled garden" ecosystem exemplified by its iTunes Store and App Store.

It's always a bit sad when tried-and-true tech or transfer protocols go the way of the Dodo Bird — to utterly date myself, I can remember thinking Zip Drives were the future — or maybe frustrating is more the word I'm looking for. According to Mac World, Apple’s announcement of 13 and 15-inch MacBook Pros and new iMacs all exhibit what very well could be the setting of a trend in Apple’s products — the absence of FireWire ports. Keep reading for how on earth we're going to deal with th...

Thanks Apple. This is the BIG one that I've been patiently waiting for. Apple have released the next version of Final Cut (10.0.6) and I couldn't be more excited about this update. Seriously, this is huge. I've been an editor for almost 20 years now and I'm more excited about the 10.0.6 release than any piece of software I can remember.

Imagine giving a Browser clip multiple sets of In/Out Points. In this article we'll look at a really fast workflow for cutting a simple scene with FCP X 10.0.6's new Multiple Range function. This means when viewing a clip in the Event Browser we can give it multiple ranges at one time.
