## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-14 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short answer
> 
> **Adobe Premiere Pro (via Creative Cloud for teams) - start here for most agencies.**
> It's the default for a reason: Productions and shared projects let several editors work the same job, Frame.io is now bundled for client review-and-approval (the thing that actually eats agency hours), and the round-trip to After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop matters when half your deliverables are motion graphics over brand assets. Freelancers you hire will already know it, which is the underrated argument - your staffing pool is enormous. Downside: per-seat subscription forever, and it's the least stable of the three.
> 
> **DaVinci Resolve Studio - best value, and the strongest finishing tool.**
> A one-time ~$295 perpetual license per seat, no subscription, and the free version is genuinely usable. Resolve's color (node-based, industry-standard) and integrated Fusion compositing mean you don't farm out grading. Its Blackmagic Cloud project-sharing and multi-user timelines are real now, not aspirational. Pick this if you're cost-sensitive, do high-end commercial or branded content, or want to stop paying Adobe. Downside: steeper learning curve, and Fusion is weaker than Afte
