CapCut vs Premiere: the decision rule

CapCut vs Premiere: the decision rule
Stop debating per-project. Standardize with a 3-question routing checklist:
— Turnaround under 48h or under $150 budget? Route to CapCut. Templates, auto-captions, and beat-sync ship a deliverable in one sitting.
— Brand needs frame-level color, multicam, or a 4K master for paid? Route to Premiere. The QC tradeoff is worth the extra 90 minutes.
— Client will request edits in their own seat later? Route to CapCut so the handoff file opens on their phone.
Rule of thumb: CapCut owns volume and speed, Premiere owns precision and longevity. Pick the tool by the deliverable, never by habit. Save this router and tape it above your edit bay. Rinse and repeat on every new brief.
