Which plan to pickIf you only edit video, the Premiere single-app plan is enough. If you also need Photoshop or After Effects, Creative Cloud Pro is better value than paying for apps one by one. The annual plan has an early-cancellation fee, so check it before signing up.Start on Free to see if the capture works with your apps. If you document processes every week, Pro on yearly billing is enough for one person. Business only makes sense once several people are building guides or you need desktop capture.Start on the free plan. If you regularly hit the three-files or 30-minute limit, Unlimited billed yearly works out at $10 a month. Test a typical recording first, because purchases aren't refundable.
