The nice thing is the RUclips editor has been broken for at least 6 years. You rarely see that kind of consistency these days. Every time I contact support I get the same "wait 48 hours then re-upload" reply. I have had videos take 2 full weeks to process, but eventually they did work.
They have a phone number? I thought you just randomly send messages on Xitter until Linus or some other large content creator catches your posts and contacts RUclips for you.
As a creator, I can attest: RUclips has no incentive to help anyone or fix anything except for their top 10 or 20 creators, those with eight digit subscriber counts etc. RUclips isn't a friend or ally to small creators, they're actively working against us.
I get what you're saying here, and I agree, but what I don't get is of those 10 to 20 top creators, you have to figure that the team would run into these issues, and want to have things fixed. I know you can get into using other and BETTER editors, but, as stated in this video, removing and reposting a video just seems ass backwards.
Of course they are. Do you have any idea how much money we cost them? I'm dead serious. The amount of data storage YT needs is INSANE. It wasn't so bad before everyone decided we have to upload in 4k with HDR if possible... but Honestly, YT should be charging per upload based on file size, but if they did that their entire business model would collapse overnight. So instead they discourage people who do not make them a profit from uploading as much as they can.
@@thatguyonyoutube989 If they're going to force 99% of users to use an editing tool they make rather than allow in-place video replacement, they could at least make the tool do a handful of things without breaking on the regular.
yeah, after all that time with support they could have done the replacement for him, verified it only had blurs and pretended he was a huge creator or music video house for a brief moment
Only the biggest channels get in-place replacements. Which is kind of funny because typically, they use that to try to hide major mistakes without admitting fault, a la LTT until they got caught.
@@JeronimoStilton14 Channels large enough to have dedicated reps at RUclips. Basically the 1% of the platform. There are channels in the low millions of subs who don't have it.
I get the feeling it was all Gen Z people who called, Millennials are generally too apathetic or spastic to care, Gen Y have other things to do, Gen X are working all the time and Boomers are all retired and generally respectful or just don't want RUclips if they happen to hate younger generations. Pre-Boomers (edit: Silent Gen) are all dead (edit: or 80+ easy), and Gen Alpha is too young to even be out of RUclips Kids for the most part.

If you try to use a browser for RUclips, you often can't edit a comment, on Android. If you use the YT app, sometimes you can't make a comment in the first place....and if it does let you comment, sometimes the keyboard won't close, after you've commented....Even after you close the YT app. 😄
1. I didn't even notice the phone number (and the url). 2. That guy should have removed his phone number from the car before he sold it. Seriously, that's dumb. 3. Why do people call random phone numbers? I try to avoid calling people on the phone even when I have a legitimate reason. I'd never call some stranger just for shits and giggles. 4. RUclips doing youtube things. Seriously, it's a shame there isn't a real competitor to RUclips so they don't have to try to please their creators and audience anymore.
@@h8GW odysee did have a feature to allow youtubers to auto-import their youtube videos to odysee also, but I think they stopped that too and I'm pretty sure that per the terms and conditions of youtube, you're technically not allowed to (if you accept the ToS), much like you're technically not allowed to download the video/audio content off youtube (but people do anyway), but legally, the ToS only apply if you accept them ;P still you would need to follow them if you're a big enough company, or constantly be under threat
The amount of respect you have for the prevous owner is super awesome too see i could see other youtubers just ignoring the person and not taking the video down
If you're stupid enough to put your personal cell number on a car and then not take it off when you sell it the consequences are really of your own making.
I watched the OG video and never even really noticed the phone number. I genuinely am unable to comprehend people not only noticing it, but then CALLING IT?
As I software engineer if I have a list of 25 points to make in "web editor". I will either do them by 3 or by 5. He probably would be successful if he would add the blurs by 3 and save after each time
@@darekmistrz4364 He said at the end he tried multiple browsers on multiple operating system and couldn't get a single blur on that particular video. @barrishautomotive Wouldn't be the first time some online service has some random bug on some random file so why not?
@@darekmistrz4364 Given how long youtube takes to actually process said things, he'd be roughly a week and a half to 3 weeks in before all said batches of edits were done, and this is assuming the editor didn't error out once through all of that for those smaller batches....as it did with just the one or two he actually demonstrates in this very video.
After years of absorbing social media my short-term memory is shot. If you upload a new version of the video I will happily watch it without any recollection I saw it before :)
At least this explains a ton of bizarre blurring I've seen on YT. Seemingly random pop ups, remaining longer than is reasonable, and just random stupidity.
What a big heart. The guy put his phone number out on a car he probably was ok with getting calls, yet to the possible financial detriment of the channel he pulled the video. That is rare some of the wannabe stars of youtube will hurt others to get ahead but actually not wanting to inconvenience someone and careing more about being a good human shows massive intestinal fortitude. This guy has tiny cars and huge manhood.
3:23 I worked in phone based CS for a couple decades; it is very unlikely that the reps coordinated behind the scenes to lie to you about a timer. Most CS employees don't give enough of a shit to get together to form that kind of lie. At most the first rep left an account note that said to tell you to wait, but even that is unlikely because 90% of reps don't read notations at all.
How RUclips works: 1. You post a video. 2. The video file is on a single server, somewhere in the world. 3. RUclips encodes the video at a very low data rate, say 240P, making a small encoded video file. 4. RUclips has thousands of server farms all over the globe. That one encoded video needs to get to ALL of them, quickly. Hence why the encoding was so low, so the file is small. Lots of network copying to move that file thousands of places. That takes time. An indeterminant amount of time, but one that can be *guessed* on average. 5. Local RUclips directories need to be uploaded to say the video is available. More time. 6. Now it is everywhere in low res. Now they start encoding higher res files. This takes time. 7. These higher res files now need to be copied to everywhere. More network time. It's common for this to take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours before the video is available in most places in a decent resolution. RUclips policy says this should be accomplished and the video available everywhere in all resolutions in 48 hours in most cases. So the rep tells you processing will take 48 hours, because the policy says that in general, that is the maximum time it should take. Usually it takes a lot less, but sometimes it can take more.
That now explains why I see so many other creators efforts with the blur tool looking so shoddy despite the rest of thier production standards being high. Thanks for being so conscientious and creative in dealing with the problem. Looking forward to [re]watching the upload.
My partner and I were both scratching our head about that number. We looked it up, found the guy/business it was associated with, and were both very confused what it had to do with that solo. Thanks for the update!
@@SueBobChicVidOr, he could be a grown up and not do that. Thankfully he was, unlike most people, apparently. If everyone acted like adults, none of this would have been needed.
I paused video to make this comment. You did the right thing. I feel that strongly and plan to watch the problem video in FULL AGAIN if and when it is re uploaded.
It's insane that YT does not just let you edit videos. Linus from LinusTechTips has spoken on this in their WAN Show before; they do allow replacing the video in very rare cases, but it has to match the runtime *exactly* and it cannot be more than some blurs. It's also something you need to be absolutely massive for and beg your YT rep to let you do, so the chance of a smaller channel getting that done is almost non-existent. I get their reasoning, they don't want you having a popular video and then completely swapping it for something different, but for cases like this it would be significantly easier to just let you reupload the video (within the same criteria, maybe even have some AI check that it didn't change more than 10% or w/e) and then add a 'video was reuploaded' tag to it or something.
100%, Linus just SPEWS AND SPEWS verifiably (and easily...) false information and then cries and whines that he can't go back and correct it. If only there was away to publish correct information the first time. Nah.
This means we all get to watch this video again when you re-upload it. ☺️👍 A solid win for us. (Also if this guy didn't choose in the first half hour to redirect his phone number to the rickroll phone number, that's on him) 😉
I upvoted this video in the hopes it helps your channel and you don't get as punished by the algorithm. And when the new video gets uploaded, I'll definitely still run in the background so you don't get screwed by the all-powerful, all-knowing algorithm. It's like trying to appease some god - don't quite know how they will react but their judgement is essentially final.
You did the right thing. You can rest easy. You need a THIRD channel ... "RUclips Turkeys". You can feature your vocal feathered friend in each of them ... and then continue on discussing (while being interrupted by the bird) the various issues you are having with RUclips. To promote your new channel, print up a nice, large QR code on a magnetic sign ... the QR code of course being the third channel link. Stick that on EVERY car you test (and if the plastic bodies don't cooperate, use some tape). That should get some engagement. While you're at it ... print up a couple of "blurs" on your printer and randomly place them in shots on your third channel. Ok ... enough coffee for this morning. Keep up the great work, and continue having fun. R
I'm not entirely convinced that the exclusive end frame of a blur is an acceptable design. Whether using youtube's blur tool or not (I can't tell as a viewer), I've seen *tons* of videos where the blur either starts or ends a frame too late or early, thus exposing the hidden object for at least a frame (many of these were license plates). This obviously negates the whole purpose of the blur as I can easily do frame-by-frame traversal in a computer web browser using the '' keys while paused. While this is likely user error, it demonstrates that we want the tool to be liberal rather than conservative. Though I've done a fair amount of linear video editing, I'm not certain whether its an industry standard to end an effect the frame before the defined end frame (I think so?), but this could explain why the tool works this way. However, youtube's online blur tool is meant to be used by people who might not otherwise be skilled video editors and it would be intuitive that users define the end frame as the last frame that they wanted blurred. Due to the intention of blurring, we'd rather have the blur accidentally last one frame too long than to end one frame too soon. Good luck and I'll do what I can to help the new video.
"An envelope with a Sharpie." I can absolutely relate to this. Must write something down. Piece of paper? 404. Could walk to the laser printer, and pull a piece of paper. Nope. Too focused. Hey, here's an envelope. Pen? Damn, it's dried out. Sharpie it is!
I genuinely didn’t even notice the phone number when I watched it. I was paying more attention to how weird the cars are. Genuinely interested in what new info was found out since the old video.
1:26 Unless you're a massive channel, then you get to quietly swap entire videos in-place with no notification to the viewers that any mistakes were changed! Just ask LTT. 🤣
@@Detah_ That happened either after RUclips was bought by Google, or after Google scrubbed "Don't Be Evil" from everything but one subscript on their mission statement or whatever the heck the company behavior document thingy is Edit: Frankly, on the latter half, its a surprising amount of self-awareness one does not expect from a gigacorporation
So here's a trick, you can ask those same support guys to replace your video wholesale with a new one you uploaded previously. They might not do it, but you can ask!
I'm happy to see that you're the kind of content creator who when making a mistake like that you do the right thing even though it can suck I'm definitely happy I've stuck around for all these years I'm looking forward to playing "spot the difference" with the new vid when it happens
I like this video. It was really good. Just like the last one and the next one which I look forward to watching in full. Please RUclips, pump your alog for this channel :)
Now I want to know what the subtitle for the new upload will be. Will it be the "Director's cut"? "Special edition"? "Extended release"? "Now with vitamin C"? "2.0"? "Remake"? "Free to play with microtransactions"? So many options...
I really hope the tweaked version works out views-wise for you, because, from a creative standpoint, this almost feels like a blessing in disguise. I'm definitely looking forward to the updated video!
I love how all us RUclipsrs with over 100k subs can see the system screws all the videos after one video tanks. But yet they deny it's a thing. My other favorite is how they will stick you at 144k subs and audit the channel every time you hit 145k if you are not clearing 50k views on the release of every video. Have hit 145k 5 times in last year and get audited 2k subs one week after every time.
I'm glad you made this video. A Solo came up on Reddit in the whatisthiscar sub and I was going to link the video. I looked for it on your page and couldn't find it, thought I was going insane for a minute.
Sorry this happened to you mate - had to deal with a similar scenario like this and know the effect it can have on your algorthim - @youtube policy on who they allow reupload is a joke, but not as big a joke as that editor, just pure garbage.
*Put "re-uploaded"* in the title!!! It's genuinely interesting to see in a title, especially if you explain what happened briefly in the intro - a 30 second version of the phone number story plus the bit about packing even more crazy facts into this video 🙌 works for everyone 👌🙏💪
@youtubecreators You already had the info, because he was in communication with you. You could've tried to fix it then, but you didn't and Aging Wheels had to put out this video. Don't try to pretend to care now that your incompetence has been made public.
This happened to a car audio RUclipsr I follow a couple years ago. He got a call on his phone during a shot and it had his partners number visible. Viewers caught it quick and he went in to blur it. Two days… SAME.
Imagine a world where people could just act as normal and functioning adults and not SPAM any number thinking they are special and going to win some prize for calling it
My attention to details is incredible!!! I didn't notice either the phone number, nor the web address in the 1st video. I did, however, notice that the white car looks like a toddlers 1st sneaker when viewed from the side.
On the blur tool not blurring the last frame you've selected: I'm a programmer and I'm willing to bet my left nut that what happened there was that the programmer got the instructions of something along the line of "The user should be able to add a blur from the Nth frame to the Mth one.", with no additional context. Naturally, a programmer being a programmer, they've coded it so that the blur applies from the Nth to the Mth frame, and for a programmer, that would be the range of N to M-1, because, yaknow, that's how programmers think. Now, in a well structured project, a designer would then go over the feature and notice that weird behaviour and go to the programmer and say "Hey, that's not how people count." and that would be the end of it. But I'm guessing at youtube, that doesn't happen. The more you know. Edit: also, the fact that you were able to reproduce all of these bugs so easily speaks volume about the quality control. Usually, the bugs that go through to production are the ones that are hard to reproduce.
There is also a very strong possibility the programmer didn't consciously think of making it go to M-1, but it was the natural outcome of whatever range function they had at disposal.
From my own experience with video editors (real ones like DaVinci Resolve or Avid), the end frame of [some effect] being exclusive is actually quite common. Not that I think YT put so much thought into this feature that they consciously chose to copy mainstream NLEs, but still.
I watched the original, and will watch the new one. As far as I can tell, I'll watch nearly anything you upload. I just want more videos from you Robert ❤️ Anxiety blows.
"I had so much anxiety over this..." The guy put his phone number on his car in 72 point font, and didn't remove it before he got rid of the car, his own fault. Apparently he never saw that news story about the plumber's car that ended up in the middle east...
I mean, I can kinda see where you're coming from here, but no. The guy's car was bought back *by the manufacturer* and was not supposed to ever be sold again. He probably, and rightfully so, expected the car to be destroyed and for his phone number on the car to be gone forever. He put his phone number on the car while he had it because it's an incredibly interesting and unique car, and he likely had people stop him and ask about it frequently. Based on Robert's report about the guy, he seems to enjoy talking about the car(I would, too, if I had a car as interesting as that), and the phone number was probably easier than having people just stop him on the street or in parking lots. He never could've predicted that the car would be resold to a RUclipsr and the phone number put out on the internet. And again, he was likely told that the car would be destroyed and never resold again, so why put in the effort to take the number off the car?
@TheHonestL1ar If you assume something that turns out to be false, you're the one doing a mistake. And since assumptions were made by all three parties, IMHO everybody shares 33% of the fault for this.
Perfect RUclipsr face in the thumbnail. Hopefully this post gets you some decent engagement anyway. Absolutely infuriating that it *just doesn't work*.
Thank you for your commitment to doing the right thing for that guy ... and wow, you're going above and beyond for us. Hate you had to go thru this. But glad we get to go with you on the journey!
Mor RUclips weirdness: despite your videos showing up in my personal feed, RUclips just showed me that I wasn't subscribed. I don't know when that happened. Anyhow I'll be more than happy to watch the new video again.
I don't know the editing tool at all. But maybe it's an edit limit thing? Like what if you went and blurred the first 5 instances, saved it, then went and blurred the next 5, saved it, and so on. Are the blurs burned in after the save? Or still editable? Because if it's the former, that should allow you to make the changes over a day or two.
If the tool was working and would actually save properly, the processing time after each save is several hours before you can do anything else. The last time I tried it was almost 6 hours after I added one blur that lasted less than a second in a 16 minute video...
@@pileofstuff I suspect the actual processing is very quick, it just takes all that time in the queue waiting for the processing slot, so it doesn't matter how much you edited or how long the video is, within reason.
RIght ! I can't say I saw it either. Or the URL. But even if I had seen the phone number my first thought wouldn't have been " HEY ! A phone number ! (poke, poke, poke...) IT'S RINGING ! Hello ! Who's this ? Is that you Aging Wheels ? Did I win the car ! ? " or some such. I mean, come on people, think a little. A random URL ? I might have tried it. No harm in that and more than likely to come up 404 or pop up an Ad to sell me the domain rights for the low low price of $$
I'm happy you're re uploading the video either way, I usually end up watching your videos twice anyway so that I catch all the quips and little details that I might've missed the first time around.
I would love to watch another video and would have done it if you asked... or not. Truth be told though, i didn't notice the phone number in the first video so i am looking forward to watching the next video TOTALLY missing the phone number 1 more time😂😂😂 Sorry for your troubles with the editing software and i do understand the frustration. Ugh, RUclips!
I’ll just rewatch this video on repeat until the re upload is complete. Then I’ll rewatch the reupload(but with blurry bits) and I’ll keep rewatching the reupload until we have re-reached the record 260k views.
Would you kindly Blur out the name on the front & rear of the car too please. People are constantly pinging my work phone as I'm trying to do my lines in our new Starwars movie scene. It's really annoying and Chewy is getting very hot in his costume during all of the retakes. Thanks in advance Harrison Ford (Solo)
That’s the funniest complaint video I’ve seen in a good while! You should consider reviewing more software/services! An best of luck with the new upload; I’ll watch it for sure!
The way I look at it, if a phone number is placated on something, then it's meant to be called. For all I know you're giving the fella exactly what he wanted when he displayed his number on the car.
I suppose that this would only bother someone with integrity and a conscience! Robert, you make some of my favorite videos on the 'Tube. The owner who put the phone number on the vehicle should have removed the number when the vehicle left his ownership-- unless for some reason he wanted the number to be publicly displayed. Also, this is a great lesson to anyone who buys or sells a vehicle that has any personal data embossed upon it...
now watch, your call-out video on youtube being generally trash is gonna be your most successful video yet. also whoops I might have thumb-upped it to help make that happen
RUclips programmers are hard at work to slow down loading times and make buffering unsufferable in Firefox, or if you dare to have AdBlock installed - there is no room in their backlog to fix broken editor...
To be fair, the guy should have removed the phone number from the car prior to the buyback. You never know where your old car will end up and it's really your responsibility to make it happen. Don't rely on the next owner to do it for you. I'm reminded of a news article some years back where ISIS ended up with a Ford Super Duty pickup that had been owned by a Texas plumber and he left his decals on the truck when he sold it because the dealer said they would remove them. He sued the dealer that because they didn't remove them. His business suffered because people thought he was associated with ISIS.
Honestly, if I was him, I'd refuse to do business with any potential customer who automatically assumed he was sponsoring terrorism and not defaulting to that it was some weird thing that happened. It's just a BIG red flag for what kind of -karen- person you might have to deal with...
@@h8GW If I recall correctly, the problem was more that he was inundated with phone calls with death threats and such and he wasn't able to really do business because most of the phone calls he got were from people that weren't even legitimate customers to begin with, just people that saw the truck with the decals on the news all over the nation. They weren't in the market to get plumbing done in Texas, they just wanted to call to give them a piece of their mind for what they thought happened instead of using a bit of sense.
Another video about some quirky cars you get to see no where else, with little inside jokes I will hopefully get because I watched the first one AND some more info about said quirky cars? Sounds good to me.
Well, _I'll_ be watching it again, because I had to pause the first one and leave the house for a while, and it was gone when I got back. :) And hey! Could be worse. At least you didn't sell the vehicle with the guy's phone number still on it to terrorists, so that he got dogpiled with death threats from morons when it showed up on the news, like happened to a certain plumber's pickup truck a few years ago. (Although, that said, the image of someone trying to turn an Electromeccanica Solo into a technical is pretty hilarious.)
Try doing the actions - blurring, in this case - in small batches, like 3 or 4 at a time, saving your changes to the video between each batch. RUclips's editing tools are ancient and likely have a maximum resource use ceiling - intentional or simply by server limitations - of some kind, whether memory or processing power.
My grandma taught me not to leave my phone number on a car I don't own. Also - if you have to spend more than 10 minutes editing a video on RUclips - just give up - it's gonna fail, you won't get what you want, it will mangle it, etc. - set your expectations correctly and you won't be disappointed or surprised.
I got to watch the video before you took it down, some of your best work, truly astounding content, life changing some might say, I've made millions in profits since it was posted based upon the knowledge you so graciously shared with us poor viewers, knowledge now lost to the RUclips blur tool forever, really sucks to be everyone else. 😭
RUclips went to crap when Google took it over. It doesn't care about little creators, it only cares about corporations or the people that make them millions. You're a good man for taking it down and reuploading
5:27 everything wrong with RUclips in a nutshell. For creators, it's a treadmill. They can't afford to have a bad video ever. That's not how life works.
You've got to expect bugs, they're just a little company trying their best. I'm sure their software guy has his handful and there's probably no budget to get an assistant...
I didn't hear the turkey. Mostly because my backyard neighbor has chickens, and his chickens have decided my unsecured yards (yes, both front and back) are better than his secured backyard. Mind you, a month or so ago, he #$%#$%#$ rooster got mauled by another neighbor's pit bull that just likes wandering the streets. (1. I live on a half mile road that the local idiots think it's the best thing to an actual racing track since the invention of racing tracks, and 2.

"we have made our product actively worse, would you like to pay to return to the service you were using before?" -- youtube premium ads if they were honest
I don't pay and didn't get an ad for the last 3 videos. RUclips is a well oiled machine.
If you try to use a browser for RUclips, you often can't edit a comment, on Android. If you use the YT app, sometimes you can't make a comment in the first place....and if it does let you comment, sometimes the keyboard won't close, after you've commented....Even after you close the YT app. 😄
Glad I got Adblock Pro so I dont have to deal with seeing the same ads over and over again.
What's an ad?
1. I didn't even notice the phone number (and the url).
2. That guy should have removed his phone number from the car before he sold it. Seriously, that's dumb.
3. Why do people call random phone numbers? I try to avoid calling people on the phone even when I have a legitimate reason. I'd never call some stranger just for shits and giggles.
4. RUclips doing youtube things. Seriously, it's a shame there isn't a real competitor to RUclips so they don't have to try to please their creators and audience anymore.
A competitor than can both access RUclips's content AND simultaneously provide their own services would have a good competitive advantage

@@darekmistrz4364 Given how long youtube takes to actually process said things, he'd be roughly a week and a half to 3 weeks in before all said batches of edits were done, and this is assuming the editor didn't error out once through all of that for those smaller batches....as it did with just the one or two he actually demonstrates in this very video.
After years of absorbing social media my short-term memory is shot.
If you upload a new version of the video I will happily watch it without any recollection I saw it before :)
At least this explains a ton of bizarre blurring I've seen on YT. Seemingly random pop ups, remaining longer than is reasonable, and just random stupidity.
people probably just give up after the 8th try of it not doing what it's supposed to, and as long as what is supposed to be blurred is they give up
What a big heart. The guy put his phone number out on a car he probably was ok with getting calls, yet to the possible financial detriment of the channel he pulled the video. That is rare some of the wannabe stars of youtube will hurt others to get ahead but actually not wanting to inconvenience someone and careing more about being a good human shows massive intestinal fortitude. This guy has tiny cars and huge manhood.

3:23 I worked in phone based CS for a couple decades; it is very unlikely that the reps coordinated behind the scenes to lie to you about a timer. Most CS employees don't give enough of a shit to get together to form that kind of lie. At most the first rep left an account note that said to tell you to wait, but even that is unlikely because 90% of reps don't read notations at all.
How RUclips works:
1. You post a video.
2. The video file is on a single server, somewhere in the world.
3. RUclips encodes the video at a very low data rate, say 240P, making a small encoded video file.
4. RUclips has thousands of server farms all over the globe. That one encoded video needs to get to ALL of them, quickly.
Hence why the encoding was so low, so the file is small. Lots of network copying to move that file thousands of places. That takes time. An indeterminant amount of time, but one that can be *guessed* on average.
5. Local RUclips directories need to be uploaded to say the video is available. More time.
6. Now it is everywhere in low res. Now they start encoding higher res files. This takes time.
7. These higher res files now need to be copied to everywhere. More network time.
It's common for this to take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours before the video is available in most places in a decent resolution.
RUclips policy says this should be accomplished and the video available everywhere in all resolutions in 48 hours in most cases.
So the rep tells you processing will take 48 hours, because the policy says that in general, that is the maximum time it should take. Usually it takes a lot less, but sometimes it can take more.
That now explains why I see so many other creators efforts with the blur tool looking so shoddy despite the rest of thier production standards being high. Thanks for being so conscientious and creative in dealing with the problem. Looking forward to [re]watching the upload.

I paused video to make this comment. You did the right thing. I feel that strongly and plan to watch the problem video in FULL AGAIN if and when it is re uploaded.
It's insane that YT does not just let you edit videos. Linus from LinusTechTips has spoken on this in their WAN Show before; they do allow replacing the video in very rare cases, but it has to match the runtime *exactly* and it cannot be more than some blurs. It's also something you need to be absolutely massive for and beg your YT rep to let you do, so the chance of a smaller channel getting that done is almost non-existent.
I get their reasoning, they don't want you having a popular video and then completely swapping it for something different, but for cases like this it would be significantly easier to just let you reupload the video (within the same criteria, maybe even have some AI check that it didn't change more than 10% or w/e) and then add a 'video was reuploaded' tag to it or something.
100%, Linus just SPEWS AND SPEWS verifiably (and easily...) false information and then cries and whines that he can't go back and correct it.
If only there was away to publish correct information the first time.

It's like trying to appease some god - don't quite know how they will react but their judgement is essentially final.
You did the right thing. You can rest easy.
You need a THIRD channel ... "RUclips Turkeys". You can feature your vocal feathered friend in each of them ... and then continue on discussing (while being interrupted by the bird) the various issues you are having with RUclips.
To promote your new channel, print up a nice, large QR code on a magnetic sign ... the QR code of course being the third channel link. Stick that on EVERY car you test (and if the plastic bodies don't cooperate, use some tape). That should get some engagement.
While you're at it ... print up a couple of "blurs" on your printer and randomly place them in shots on your third channel.
Ok ... enough coffee for this morning.
Keep up the great work, and continue having fun.

Aging Turkeys
Either that or QR code the UnderDunn channel. This is an underrated little bit of clickbait brilliance.
I'm not entirely convinced that the exclusive end frame of a blur is an acceptable design. Whether using youtube's blur tool or not (I can't tell as a viewer), I've seen *tons* of videos where the blur either starts or ends a frame too late or early, thus exposing the hidden object for at least a frame (many of these were license plates). This obviously negates the whole purpose of the blur as I can easily do frame-by-frame traversal in a computer web browser using the '' keys while paused. While this is likely user error, it demonstrates that we want the tool to be liberal rather than conservative.
Though I've done a fair amount of linear video editing, I'm not certain whether its an industry standard to end an effect the frame before the defined end frame (I think so?), but this could explain why the tool works this way. However, youtube's online blur tool is meant to be used by people who might not otherwise be skilled video editors and it would be intuitive that users define the end frame as the last frame that they wanted blurred. Due to the intention of blurring, we'd rather have the blur accidentally last one frame too long than to end one frame too soon.
Good luck and I'll do what I can to help the new video.

I love how all us RUclipsrs with over 100k subs can see the system screws all the videos after one video tanks. But yet they deny it's a thing. My other favorite is how they will stick you at 144k subs and audit the channel every time you hit 145k if you are not clearing 50k views on the release of every video. Have hit 145k 5 times in last year and get audited 2k subs one week after every time.
I'm glad you made this video. A Solo came up on Reddit in the whatisthiscar sub and I was going to link the video. I looked for it on your page and couldn't find it, thought I was going insane for a minute.

That blur editor is absolute garbage. Even the video player to add cards rarely works.
This happened to a car audio RUclipsr I follow a couple years ago. He got a call on his phone during a shot and it had his partners number visible. Viewers caught it quick and he went in to blur it. Two days… SAME.

On the blur tool not blurring the last frame you've selected: I'm a programmer and I'm willing to bet my left nut that what happened there was that the programmer got the instructions of something along the line of "The user should be able to add a blur from the Nth frame to the Mth one.", with no additional context.
Naturally, a programmer being a programmer, they've coded it so that the blur applies from the Nth to the Mth frame, and for a programmer, that would be the range of N to M-1, because, yaknow, that's how programmers think.
Now, in a well structured project, a designer would then go over the feature and notice that weird behaviour and go to the programmer and say "Hey, that's not how people count." and that would be the end of it. But I'm guessing at youtube, that doesn't happen.
The more you know.
Edit: also, the fact that you were able to reproduce all of these bugs so easily speaks volume about the quality control. Usually, the bugs that go through to production are the ones that are hard to reproduce.
There is also a very strong possibility the programmer didn't consciously think of making it go to M-1, but it was the natural outcome of whatever range function they had at disposal.
Don't forget that Robert is a former member of the pocket-protector class himself.
instead of "N to M-1" it'd be much clearer to just say "N
From my own experience with video editors (real ones like DaVinci Resolve or Avid), the end frame of [some effect] being exclusive is actually quite common. Not that I think YT put so much thought into this feature that they consciously chose to copy mainstream NLEs, but still.
It's a fencepost error.
I watched the original, and will watch the new one.
As far as I can tell, I'll watch nearly anything you upload. I just want more videos from you Robert ❤️
Anxiety blows.
"I had so much anxiety over this..."
The guy put his phone number on his car in 72 point font, and didn't remove it before he got rid of the car, his own fault. Apparently he never saw that news story about the plumber's car that ended up in the middle east...
I mean, I can kinda see where you're coming from here, but no. The guy's car was bought back *by the manufacturer* and was not supposed to ever be sold again. He probably, and rightfully so, expected the car to be destroyed and for his phone number on the car to be gone forever.
He put his phone number on the car while he had it because it's an incredibly interesting and unique car, and he likely had people stop him and ask about it frequently. Based on Robert's report about the guy, he seems to enjoy talking about the car(I would, too, if I had a car as interesting as that), and the phone number was probably easier than having people just stop him on the street or in parking lots.
He never could've predicted that the car would be resold to a RUclipsr and the phone number put out on the internet. And again, he was likely told that the car would be destroyed and never resold again, so why put in the effort to take the number off the car?
@TheHonestL1ar If you assume something that turns out to be false, you're the one doing a mistake.
And since assumptions were made by all three parties, IMHO everybody shares 33% of the fault for this.
@yvan2563 agreed. I think the manufacturer has the most blame, then the braindead original owner, then this fellow.

I don't know the editing tool at all. But maybe it's an edit limit thing?
Like what if you went and blurred the first 5 instances, saved it, then went and blurred the next 5, saved it, and so on. Are the blurs burned in after the save? Or still editable? Because if it's the former, that should allow you to make the changes over a day or two.
I can't add any number of blurs, not even single ones, to this video in particular
@@agingwheels oof, fair enough. That's even more broken than usual for YT then.
If the tool was working and would actually save properly, the processing time after each save is several hours before you can do anything else.
The last time I tried it was almost 6 hours after I added one blur that lasted less than a second in a 16 minute video...
@@pileofstuff I suspect the actual processing is very quick, it just takes all that time in the queue waiting for the processing slot, so it doesn't matter how much you edited or how long the video is, within reason.

I suppose that this would only bother someone with integrity and a conscience! Robert, you make some of my favorite videos on the 'Tube. The owner who put the phone number on the vehicle should have removed the number when the vehicle left his ownership-- unless for some reason he wanted the number to be publicly displayed. Also, this is a great lesson to anyone who buys or sells a vehicle that has any personal data embossed upon it...

RUclips programmers are hard at work to slow down loading times and make buffering unsufferable in Firefox, or if you dare to have AdBlock installed - there is no room in their backlog to fix broken editor...
Talking about buggy RUclips behaviour, It says it was posted 1 hour ago but has comments from 19 hours ago and only has 851 views.
To be fair, the guy should have removed the phone number from the car prior to the buyback. You never know where your old car will end up and it's really your responsibility to make it happen. Don't rely on the next owner to do it for you. I'm reminded of a news article some years back where ISIS ended up with a Ford Super Duty pickup that had been owned by a Texas plumber and he left his decals on the truck when he sold it because the dealer said they would remove them. He sued the dealer that because they didn't remove them. His business suffered because people thought he was associated with ISIS.
Honestly, if I was him, I'd refuse to do business with any potential customer who automatically assumed he was sponsoring terrorism and not defaulting to that it was some weird thing that happened. It's just a BIG red flag for what kind of -karen- person you might have to deal with...
@@h8GW If I recall correctly, the problem was more that he was inundated with phone calls with death threats and such and he wasn't able to really do business because most of the phone calls he got were from people that weren't even legitimate customers to begin with, just people that saw the truck with the decals on the news all over the nation. They weren't in the market to get plumbing done in Texas, they just wanted to call to give them a piece of their mind for what they thought happened instead of using a bit of sense.
Another video about some quirky cars you get to see no where else, with little inside jokes I will hopefully get because I watched the first one AND some more info about said quirky cars? Sounds good to me.
Well, _I'll_ be watching it again, because I had to pause the first one and leave the house for a while, and it was gone when I got back. :)
And hey! Could be worse. At least you didn't sell the vehicle with the guy's phone number still on it to terrorists, so that he got dogpiled with death threats from morons when it showed up on the news, like happened to a certain plumber's pickup truck a few years ago.
(Although, that said, the image of someone trying to turn an Electromeccanica Solo into a technical is pretty hilarious.)
A couple of front mounted machine guns would give one of these a real world version of a Halo ghost vibe.
Try doing the actions - blurring, in this case - in small batches, like 3 or 4 at a time, saving your changes to the video between each batch.
RUclips's editing tools are ancient and likely have a maximum resource use ceiling - intentional or simply by server limitations - of some kind, whether memory or processing power.
My grandma taught me not to leave my phone number on a car I don't own. Also - if you have to spend more than 10 minutes editing a video on RUclips - just give up - it's gonna fail, you won't get what you want, it will mangle it, etc. - set your expectations correctly and you won't be disappointed or surprised.

You've got to expect bugs, they're just a little company trying their best. I'm sure their software guy has his handful and there's probably no budget to get an assistant...
I didn't hear the turkey. Mostly because my backyard neighbor has chickens, and his chickens have decided my unsecured yards (yes, both front and back) are better than his secured backyard. Mind you, a month or so ago, he #$%#$%#$ rooster got mauled by another neighbor's pit bull that just likes wandering the streets. (1. I live on a half mile road that the local idiots think it's the best thing to an actual racing track since the invention of racing tracks, and 2. He may say his pitty is really friendly, but people not familiar with pits aren't going to know that. So, yeah, his dog really needs to be on a leash when outside of his yard.)
Didn't hear the tornado siren. Glad to see you survived it.
Sorry that happened to you man! I know the feeling of that kind of professional anxiety, its so debilitating. Im always happy to watch more! Thank you for all your hard work sir
