The Baking Banana Bread with Minions video has been delayed to sometime in 2019 or in 2020.

The Baking Banana Bread with Minions video has been delayed to sometime in 2019 or in 2020.
We decided to do this because this week, when I was supposed to made the video, I was busy with coding and didn't have enough time to get the Minions toys that we needed for the video.
Speaking of the Minions toys, the ones that I wanted weren't sold in stores, and most of the sellers on Amazon and on eBay were selling it used. Also, the price that they were selling it for wasn't that affordable.
Also, there is a new Minions movie coming out next year, and since the Minions toys were unavailable, and the movie is just 1 year away, I decided to delay the video to either sometime in 2019 or in 2020.
When the new movie comes out, the toy makers will make new toys for the new movie, and sell them at stores like Target and Walmart, so I can get the kind of Minions toys that I want from those trusted stores.
That means there'll be no more new videos for the rest of this month.
But that doesn't matter, because next week is a brand new month, and there'll be brand new videos for that month!
When the August Channel Update comes out on the first day of August, you'll find out what the new videos are.
That's all for now!
Stay tuned for more videos, coming next month!
Also, stay tuned for the next Channel Update, which is also coming next month!
Bye!

Sorry for not making closed captions for the Pretzel Spelling Game video.

Sorry for not making closed captions for the Pretzel Spelling Game video.
Due to missing out on putting on closed captions right away for 2 videos in a row, I have made a new rule for closed captions. If a just-published AlfaTube video is 5 minutes or longer, then it does not get closed captions right away. Otherwise, it does get closed captions right away.

Instead of AlfaTube videos that are 5 minutes or longer getting closed captions right away, they will get closed captions sometime in the month in which the video was published.
That's all for now!
Be sure to check out the Pretzel Spelling Game video if you haven't already!
Also, stay tuned for this month's last video, which is Baking Banana Bread with Minions, coming later this month!
Bye!

Sorry for not making closed captions for the Playing Dominoes video.

Sorry for not making closed captions for the Playing Dominoes video.
Ever since the Domino Math 4 Times Tables video, we've been making closed captions for each new AlfaTube video, either before the video is released, or about an hour after the video is released. We make them so that if you're in a loud environment, you can still follow along with the video.
The closed captions can also be useful if the AlfaTube video volume is low, your device volume max is low, if your ears are bad, or if you are deaf.
The closed captions for the Playing Dominoes video are being made right now, and when they are finished, they will be put on the video later today.
That's all for now!
Be sure to check out the Playing Dominoes video if you haven't already!
Also, stay tuned for more videos, coming later this month!
Bye!

You may have seen us knock down dominoes on AlfaTube before. But today, we're playing dominoes! Adonis and Chiara open a box of good old-fashioned dominoes, explain how to play, and then begin. It takes a long time to play dominoes, so there's a x4 Fast Forward at one point during the video. How do you play? Who will win? Watch the video to find out!

Dominoes Game video coming out later today, 5th Anniversary Look being replaced with a minor updated look + AlfaTube Theme Music!

Guess what? The Dominoes Game video is coming out today!
However, I decided to change the title of the video to Playing Dominoes.
The video will be on later today, sometime in between 9-10pm.

The 5th Anniversary Look will be replaced today, as mentioned in this month's Channel Update.
The square logo will have no circle outline around the A, the A will have no shadow, and there will be a different kind of gray.
Here's how that will look:


The banner will be the same as our 5th Anniversary banner, but without the Happy 5th Anniversary text, and with the AlfaTube text moved to the left of the 4 AlfaTube Kids.
Here's how that will look:


There will also be a new circle logo. It looks just like the square logo, except cut out as a circle. This logo will be used for future thumbnails, and for a video watermark on the bottom-right corner.
Here's how that will look:


Also, there will be new theme music!
It will play at the beginning of each video.
The theme music will be in every future AlfaTube video, starting with the Playing Dominoes video.
Want to check out the theme music?
Then watch the Playing Dominoes video when it comes out!

Well, that's all for now!
Be sure to check out the Playing Dominoes video when it comes out!
Also, stay tuned for our other videos, coming later this month!
Bye!

Happy 5th Anniversary!

That's right! Today is our 5th anniversary! It's been 5 years since AlfaTube began!
From grainy iPad footage, YouTube Video Editor, a couple of videos, a couple hundred views, and a couple of subscribers, to more professional iPhone footage, a tripod, dual camera footage, iMovie, 40 videos, tens of thousands of views, and 150 subscribers, we've done so much!

We have more videos coming out later this month, as mentioned in this month's Channel Update. 
Before the videos that we have planned come out, we need to publish the 5th Anniversary Special. The name of the video might not be "5th Anniversary Special". Instead, it may change to something like, "Happy 5th Anniversary!" or "AlfaTube's 5th Anniversary!" You'll see what it's called when the video comes out.
Speaking of the video, it's already been filmed, and will be put on later today.
The AlfaTube 5th Anniversary Banner is not up yet because we're thinking of changing the design of it. The new design of the 5th Anniversary Banner will be up later today.
Stay tuned for the 5th Anniversary video coming out later today, and for more videos coming out after that!
Bye!

Channel Update: 5th Anniversary in 3 more days! WSE 10 delayed, Google+ closed, Subscriber Exclusive Content, Google Sites Website made rejuvenated, new About section, new videos, new 5th anniversary look!

Hello, this is Adonis, and welcome to the first Channel Update of 2019! While we may have not done much in the first half of the year, the second half of the year will be great, because it has AlfaTube's 5th Anniversary in it: July 10, 2019! That's in 3 more days, and on that day, there will be a 5th Anniversary Special video uploaded to AlfaTube!

Let's deal with the rest of the news:

1. World's Strongest Engine 10 will unfortunately be delayed. It will not be on AlfaTube's 5th Anniversary, as originally planned. Instead, it will be moved to sometime in between Fall 2019 - Fall 2020. We'll keep you updated about the exact release date, and details about WSE 10, as it gets closer to the time period!

2. As you may already know, Google+ closed in April 2019, which means that our Google+ page has also closed. Instead of using Google+ for sharing quick updates and sneak peeks, we will now use The AlfaTube Blog or The AlfaTube Website.
We might make more social media pages in the future.

3. There is a new benefit for people who are subscribed to AlfaTube! You can find it below the banner of the AlfaTube Channel. It's called the Subscriber Exclusive Content section, and it was added 4 months ago. In this section, you can find never-before-seen AlfaTube footage, some of which almost became AlfaTube videos, and sneak peeks of upcoming AlfaTube videos. This section only works on computers, and can not work on mobile devices, due to YouTube channel mobile device layout restrictions.
There'll be some new Subscriber Exclusive Content videos coming out in the next few months, so subscribe today to see those videos when they come out!

4. Our Google Sites website has been rejuvenated, with a gray background, new video embed design, and center design. The Videos page makes the newest video the biggest, with the rest of the videos being the same size and smaller than the newest video. On the front page, there is a message, saying that Google Sites will be where The AlfaTube Website is hosted until the classic version of Google Sites closes in 2021.
After the classic version of Google Sites closes, there will be a new AlfaTube website, on a custom domain name.
More info about that will be revealed as it gets closer to the website release date!

5. There is a new About section in the About tab of the AlfaTube Channel, and on the About page on The AlfaTube Website. It gets some of its dialogue from the description of the newest "Welcome to AlfaTube" video. Also, the "made for kids, by kids" line of the About section has been replaced with this:

AlfaTube is a kid-friendly channel that was founded by kids, is approved by parents, and is watched by thousands of kids every year!

I replaced it with this because The AlfaTube Kids are getting older.
When I started AlfaTube, the ages of The AlfaTube Kids were 9, 8, 6, and 5. Now, the ages of The AlfaTube Kids are 14, 13, 11, and 10. As we get older, we will no longer be kids, but the AlfaTube channel will always remain founded by kids.

6. After the 5th Anniversary Special, there will be new videos! They are:

Dominoes Game

Pretzel Spelling Game

Baking Banana Bread with Minions

All of these videos will be uploaded sometime in July, so subscribe to AlfaTube and turn on notifications to get updated on whenever the next video comes out!

7. Starting today, there will be a new 5th Anniversary look on AlfaTube! Here is the 5th Anniversary banner when it is counting down the days until our 5th Anniversary:



The banner will change when there are 2 days left, and again when there is just 1 day left. On the day of our 5th Anniversary, the banner will change to this:



This will be our banner until the next AlfaTube video after the 5th Anniversary Special comes out.

Our 5th Anniversary square logo looks like this:




The 5th Anniversary square logo will also change when the next AlfaTube video after the 5th Anniversary Special comes out.

Well, that's all for now!
