The mainstream editors are closer in capability than the marketing suggests, and the deciding factor is usually the workflow around them: who else has to open the project, which machine it runs on, and whether you would rather buy once or subscribe.

Premiere Pro	Pick it when the project has to move between people or between Adobe apps.
DaVinci Resolve	Pick it when colour matters most, or you want professional tools without a subscription.
Final Cut Pro	Pick it when you work on a Mac, want speed, and prefer to buy once.
CapCut	Pick it when the output is short vertical video and templates do most of the work.

Before you install anything

A good share of what sends people looking for an editor is a single operation rather than an edit: a file that will not import, a clip that is too large to send, a video that needs captions. Those run in your browser here, free and without uploading, and take seconds rather than a download and a sign-up.
