 Good morning Chevy You want to go outside? And then we're gonna go to daycare It's gonna be a good day Right diesel. I'm gonna stay home with the seniors So good I like to eat the soup first Are you all ready for daycare? We have fun. Are you? Yeah. Should we go? Oh no Wiener, you gotta stay here. You're too little for daycare. Did someone say daycare? This also is great. We're back in my day. They didn't have daycares. Yes you did. I worked in a daycare and you came to work with me Go on Wiener, you gotta stay. Go have a nap. All the seniors, just stay at the senior center for the day. Okay, Chevy, you ready? You sure? We can stay home if you want. Dad jokes, you know. Chevy, are we here? We'll play with your friends buddy. Chevy, no? Chevy, do you want to go? Excited. Put the camera down. Let's go inside. He's all excited. All jumping for joy until we get here. And then he's nervous. He wanted to come with us. There's lots of ladies in there today. Oh yeah, I heard him howling. Chevy, come here Chevy. I want to lick you. I want to lick your face Chevy. He's a stud. Well, a fixed stud. Yeah. Just to be clear, we don't breed. Snipped but still equipped. But that's amazing. A little early for motorcycles, don't you think? His face must be cold. There he is. Who's here? Who's here? He's being such a good boy. So now we know that it's Chevy. That's the bad one. It's been Chevy all along. My sister Cheryl dropped by. And it was interesting to see because Chevy's at daycare right now. And I thought diesel was the one that gets all riled up when we have guests come over. He was perfectly fine. A little bit excited but for like 10 seconds. He didn't even realize I was here for like 30, 45 seconds. He was napping. That's amazing. That's a good boy diesel. Yeah, he slowed down a lot. He's maturing. Yeah. Old man, way to. He's a wise old man. Like what a calm interaction that was. Chevy, we should have named him Chaos. Chaos Chevy. Yeah. That would have been a great name for him. He'll get better. He's still got puppy brain. Yeah, he's almost six. Yeah, he'll be six in July. That was like, okay, then maybe not. It's a lab thing though. He is going to our partner. Because he's so good a few minutes after. Yeah, he slows down quick now. He's like the gentle one. Yeah, he is. So, how was day two of daycare? Did you make any girlfriends? Mom. Pretty cool. He's currently the daycare worker in there. Allison just loves him. I mean, who couldn't? Who couldn't? Chaotic Chevy. So he's gone in for a couple of half days now to see how he handles it. And it went really well. So the next time will be a full day. Yeah, because a half day is probably not enough exercise for him still. You want to go home? Go see diesel. The house was a little kind of kind of peaceful. I'm glad to have you here, Chevy. Life was a little bit easier without you. But not nearly as fluffy or loving. Not nearly as good. I'm glad to have you back. He doesn't care. No, he's just looking at the people outside. Hey, chef. Go home. All right, there they are. Tell them all about your day, Chevy. Tell them all about your day. All right, you brought him back, did you? Came back for another whooping, did you? Would we snap it? Weiner. You miss him? Well, I guess so. I just miss mommy. The rest of you can leave. I didn't touch any other dogs, I swear. Who is that? I smell ladies on him. Mama, I think he was with the ladies. You smell that? Chevy. You girlfriends at daycare? Multiple girlfriends? Oh my, Chevy. You play with you. Only one at a time, Chevy. You're respectful of the ladies. All right, let's go inside. Come on, you don't have to sit in the entryway. Go on. Like this? Oh, Chevy. Our second curtain came today. So we actually have a set instead of just one. Finishing piece to the bedroom. Just for the wife's approval. They're just much better. A lot less college kid normie. The room is now complete. We have a real room now. A big kid room. Still no old blue. Didn't get her back today yet. So, come here, work on some videos. Maybe work on the shop a bit. For now, this is my setup. Oh, this is ready to go. I'm downloading my editing software onto my old laptop. This is my old one. This is my new one. I'm going to need two computers, I think, to edit my videos now from now on. A little bit of behind the scenes chit chat with you. As you guys know, because I've mentioned it in the last couple of videos, I got a new setup here with a new camera and I'm learning how to use it. I'm actually kind of really thankful for the time I have now at home so that I can figure this all out. It's very different. And when you're used to making videos a certain way, for 12 years. What has it been? 12 years since I started. 10 years since I've been doing what I'm doing now. I sort of get myself into a routine. And now I have to completely not upend it, not completely change it, but there are certain key aspects of the editing process that are different now. The camera I'm using is the Sony a7c. It has steady shot built into it. This is a little bit of behind the scenes shop talk since we're in the shop that I wouldn't usually bother sharing with you guys, because not all of you care about what cameras I'm using. You just want to see the video. Since this is what I'm dealing with right now and this is a vlog of my life and I'm trying to share with you everything that's going on. This is the biggest thing that's been going on. It'll take me a little while to get used to this. With this software or with this camera, the steady shot that's built into it isn't really that great. The picture is amazing. The camera is amazing. I have a Tamron 17 to 28mm lens on it right now. It's amazing. This is a really wide angle shot and there's a reason why I bought this lens that came recommended by other vloggers on YouTube that I watched and I'll explain why. When I put my software onto the computer since it's still pretty shaky it's very difficult for you the viewer to watch shaky footage. I know you've probably seen some of it maybe on other channels, maybe even some on my channel. It's very hard to focus. It can give you a headache. Kind of make your head spin a little bit because the footage is all shaking all over the place. Right? So my goal is to create some smooth footage. That's why I got the gimbal. I have a crane M2S gimbal that I can use with this camera as well. But it's a little bit bulky and I can't always have it with me. I can't always carry it around everywhere. So I just point and shoot with this camera and the lens. But then when I'm editing it to get rid of all of that shake I put it into the Sony Catalyst Prepare software. I put it into this software it has this gyro data inside the camera which records all the movements of the camera as I'm moving it around. So the camera is still shaking around it's just remembering exactly every little movement that I've made. It stores that data and when I put it into the software it completely stabilizes the whole clip. All my clips you've seen that are so stable I should show you the original sometime. Sometimes the original, especially when Brits like when I'm in the passenger seat and I was talking to Brits we're kind of on the road, everything's kind of shaky but after I put it through the software it's amazing the technology it's just completely smooth. But it's an extra step that adds about an extra hour to my editing process every day. So it's uh it slows that down a little bit. It's a good thing these videos are behind a little bit so I can take my time putting them together and you don't really even notice the lag on your end. But I put it into my program and what it does is remember I was talking about this Tamron lens at the wide angle it's actually capturing a lot more than you're seeing right now because I run this through my software you'll maybe see more of it now because I have you in a fixed position but when I'm walking around you'll see that the corners get cropped in quite a bit and that's how it stabilizes it it takes all the gyro data of all the movements of the camera smooths it out at the expense of the frame size so it'll crop in the frame so maybe you can see my hands right now as I'm stretching them out but if I was walking around it might look more like this instead I might look closer to the camera it cuts out the edges but it's very handy the thing is it adds an extra hour every day onto what I do no big deal right I just have to plan ahead and time management right that's why I'm thinking of bringing my old computer here my old Acer out of retirement and I'm thinking at the end of my day I put all of my clips onto my old computer and I put it through my software and through cattle's prepare completely stabilizes everything let it do its thing overnight the next day take that stabilized footage transfer it onto my new Acer the one that I do all my editing on it's a lot faster a lot better a little bit more sleek they both have the oh where did the underglow go here this one doesn't have the underglow it does have the light up keys though this one has the underglow here so this is the new one this is the old one this is what I'm going to get my software ready for do my post production on here and then move it onto here where I can edit it with my high speed laptop even though this one is pretty high speed they're both really good laptops both Acer's have I been saying Acer come on Josh ASUS my bad I'm sorry I'm an ASUS fan big difference big difference sorry so sorry may the ASUS gods forgive me but yeah so get the footage ready to edit on here transfer it onto here edit it and render it here and upload it from here to YouTube so you can see it so is it a big pain in my butt not really because I don't see it that way I love making these videos that's why I keep doing it every day and I love that I have new technology to work with now I love seeing how things progress and how things get better in terms of technology this camera is amazing and it's been a dream of mine to have for a long time and so what it adds a little bit of time every day onto my editing process for me the quality of the shots and the quality of the video makes it worth it and plus all of your comments every day, every like that you leave every view every time you stop in and just watch a trucker jock vlog that's what makes it worth it for me I love sharing things with you guys and I love that you guys enjoy what I make for you or I love when you enjoy it I know you probably not all of my vlogs are at the same level some days I have more time to invest into them than others and I'll be honest I'll be honest sometimes they're 100% sometimes they're 120% but I always try to give 100% at least if you like it, I appreciate when you give a thumbs up and you leave me a comment down below just like every other YouTuber the reason us YouTubers always ask you to hit that like button and leave a comment down below if you're wondering if no one's ever explained it to you before is it helps us out a lot with the algorithm when YouTube sees that a lot of people are hitting those thumbs up button it'll say, oh, people like this video I'm gonna push it out to more people, to new people so that's the easiest and free way you can help me just by hitting that like button it tells YouTube that, hey, I liked this maybe someone also liked it too so YouTube will send it out to other people that don't follow me and say, hey, maybe you'll like this guy hey, look at all these people who hit the thumbs up button maybe you'll like it too same thing with comments when YouTube sees, oh, there's a whole bunch of comments and a whole bunch of interaction on this video it must be something people want to talk about let's share it with more people don't follow this channel and who aren't subscribed because obviously this channel is, you know, attracting a lot of comments that's why us YouTubers always ask hit that like button comment down below it's an easy way for you to support us if you do like what we do and you want to see more of it and it's free so you can actually help me grow my channel for free so that's why I always say that now you know for the future so I've run into a bit of a snag my old computer isn't going to handle the software that I need to render the videos and to stabilize them and that's the reason I stopped using it in the first place because it became outdated my software and programs that I used to edit my videos didn't even work on my old computer anymore and it caused it just to crash every time I tried to upload a video that's why I had to make a last-minute journey in a rush trip into Winnipeg several months ago to buy the new computer there was a reason we retired you we're going to have to stick with this one I should have known but I was kind of hopeful having two computers would just you know while one computer is doing one thing I can do something else on the other you know it's just twice as fast that way but it isn't what it is all I need is one computer I guess I was trying to be extra fancy turns out I'm just a little bit fancy staying your lane, Josh staying your lane well it really is too bad oh well oh well I could have saved some time but I guess not everything in this world is about speed you know at work everything is about getting there as quickly as you legally can not wasting any time proper time management is still important don't get me wrong but yeah this is going to take a little bit longer everyday to put these videos together for you I think it's worth it so I'm not going to complain about that I think it's completely worth it I don't mind at all I was trying to cut some corners and I should have known better that's not going to work no cutting corners if you want to do something right you got to do it right no cheating though having another computer wouldn't really be cheating Josh you don't need two high powered computers you already have one high powered computer you don't need two but it'd be nice but I don't need two so back at home we are testing out this little swing that we got from Brett's sister anti-jazz need to click this thing on right here look at that magic that's the lowest setting just enough to get a little bit but if you got some kind of wild kid that just wants to crank it right up give it a second there it goes go to town very exciting I kind of want to sit in it I don't think you'd sit for very long Brett won't let me
