Adobe Premiere Pro (Creative Cloud for teams)** - This is the default answer for a reason. It holds the largest share of professional desktop editing (~35%), which means you can hire editors who already know it, and freelancers can drop into your projects on day one. The real agency argument is the ecosystem: After Effects for motion graphics, Photoshop/Illustrator for assets, Audition for audio, and Frame.io review built right in so client notes land on your timeline as markers. If your agency does multi-format client work with rotating contractors, start here.\n\n**2. DaVinci Resolve (Studio)** - The best value in professional post, full stop. Editing, best-in-class color grading, Fairlight audio, and Fusion compositing in one app. The free version is genuinely production-capable, and Studio is a **$295 one-time** purchase per seat - no subscription. Its collaborative workflow (multiple editors, colorists, and sound on one project database) is excellent, though it wants a proper shared-storage setup to shine. Pick this if you do a lot of high-end color work or want to escape Adobe's recurring costs.\n\n**3. Frame.io** - Not an editor, b", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
