Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro is Adobe's solution for professional video editing and the CS6 version includes important features that are suited to today's video editing capabilities and the capabilities of today's camcorders. This editor is one of the most advanced on the market and its learning curve is somewhat complex.
It features support for endless video formats and is capable of handling video at 4K resolutions and can even handle stereoscopic 3D video.
Its best advantages appear when working and editing video with multiple shots from different cameras and there is also the ability to stabilize video that brings clarity to shots that were out of the photo or swept.
There are many more options offered by this complete tool and you can consult them all on the official Adobe site, which also offers demonstration videos of all these functions.

Like the Adobe option, Sony Vegas Pro presents compatibility with video formats at all resolutions ranging from standard definitions (SD) through High Definition (HD, FullHD) and reaching 4K formats (UltraHD) .
One of the benefits of Sony Vegas Pro is its audio editing tool that allows access to unlimited tracks of audio, 24-bit / 192 kHz audio, punch-in recording, 5.1 surround mixing, effects automation, and time compression / stretch, while applying customizable audio effects in real time, such as Equalizer, Reverb, Delay and others.

Corel Video Studio
Corel Video Studio is the option presented by the people of Corel and this tool is the one that was once known as Ulead Video Studio and that later became part of Corel.
Corel Video Studio offers simple video editing controls and also allows you to work with content at UltraHD resolutions up to 4K. Its advantages appear when it comes to presenting a simple Motion Tracking system that allows you to work with moving elements, edit from those elements and reduce movement and noise in the shot.
Another differentiating point that seems important to mention is the ability to add subtitles in a simple way at the same time as it detects the audio sources to place the subtitles at the right time and that they do not distract from the video as it normally happens.
