Here's what I'd actually tell you, based on how agency post workflows really run:\n\n## The core editor - pick one\n\n**1. Adobe Premiere Pro (via Creative Cloud for Teams)** - the default right answer for most agencies, and it's about ecosystem, not the timeline. Project files open on anyone's machine, round-tripping to After Effects / Audition / Photoshop is frictionless, Team Projects handles remote collaboration, and - most importantly - you can hire for it. Every freelance editor you'll ever bring in on a deadline already knows it. ~$89.99/seat/mo for All Apps for Teams, $37.99 single app.\n\n**2. DaVinci Resolve Studio** - the pick if your work is finishing-heavy: color grading, Fusion VFX, Fairlight audio all in one app. One-time ~$295 per seat, no subscription, and the free version is genuinely production-capable. Its Project Server / multi-user collaboration is excellent *if* you run a proper shared-storage setup. Weaker spot: less plug-and-play with the Adobe design side your art depar", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
