Adobe Premiere Pro (Creative Cloud for Teams) - the default answer for most agencies.**\nNot because it's the best editor, but because it's the best *organization*. Freelancers already know it, so you can staff up for a crunch without training anyone; After Effects, Audition, and Illustrator are in the same subscription and round-trip cleanly; and Team Projects gives you shared cloud timelines. Seats are reassignable through the admin console, which matters when contractors cycle. The tax is the recurring per-seat cost and Premiere's tendency to get sluggish on very large, long-running projects. ([comparison](https://beverlyboy.com/film-technology/premiere-vs-resolve-which-one-wins-in-collaborative-editing/), [Team vs Resolve](https://www.techjockey.com/us/compare/adobe-premiere-pro-cc-for-teams-vs-davinci-resolve))\n\n**2. DaVinci Resolve Studio - the best economics and the strongest high-end post.**\n$295 one-time per seat, perpetual, free updates for that version's life - for a 6-person team that's roughly what one year of Adobe seats costs, then it's zero.
