One of MrBeast's editors does the math out loud on a single video, six terabytes and roughly nine hundred hours against a five-day clock, and then the conversation goes where a channel promo never does, into the clothing brand, the record label, and who he thinks the best editor really is.
Bailey Stanfield is one of the editors behind MrBeast, working on the channel since 2018, and he also runs the clothing brand and record label Quiet Wave and makes music under the name Chino.
Bailey opens up about learning to edit in 2006 on a camera that happened to come with its own software, and never really stopping after that. He talks about the friend with four million subscribers who asked him to shoot a video, the video Jimmy happened to see, and the trial week that turned into a job. He gets candid about where Quiet Wave came from, an acronym built out of the word quasar that started as a shirt company and grew into something else. Bailey walks through the math on a single video, six terabytes across every camera, roughly nine hundred hours to condense, and a five-day window that only holds about a hundred and twenty five. He also reflects on the bucket list item that has nothing to do with editing, and on why he does not think he is the best editor in the building.
What comes up:
- Learning to edit in 2006 on a camera that came with the software
- The friend's video that put him in front of Jimmy
- Where the name Quiet Wave actually came from
- Six terabytes, nine hundred hours, and a five-day clock
