Everything else is a cost or speed play around that core.\n\n**1. Adobe Premiere Pro - the safe agency default**\nThe real argument isn't features, it's hiring and handoff. Every freelance editor you'll ever contract knows Premiere, and client/partner project files arrive as `.prproj`. Round-trips to After Effects (motion graphics, lower thirds, brand animation) and Audition are seamless, which matters because agency work is rarely just cutting. Downside is honest: it's the most expensive option at **$89.99/seat/mo for All Apps for teams** (Single App $37.99), and if you're buying 10+ seats, go through a VIP reseller rather than adobe.com - that's reportedly 10-25% off list.

Frame.io - the piece that actually saves you money**\nClient review/approval is where agency margin dies, not editing.
