## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-28 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short answer
> 
> For most agencies: **Adobe Premiere Pro (Creative Cloud for teams) + Frame.io** is the default, and it's the default for good reasons. Everything else is a cost or speed play around that core.
> 
> **1. Adobe Premiere Pro - the safe agency default**
> The 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.

> **2. Frame.io - the piece that actually saves you money**
> Client review/approval is where agency margin dies, not editing. Frame.io gives timecoded comments
