Are most video editing software suitable for stop motion animation?

Adobe Software
I find that software specifically designed for stop motion is too limited. I believe that audio and multiple audio, titles, transitions, and effects are important in stop motion animation, not just video editing. Stop Motion Pro and Animator DV are just too limited. Are Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas suitable for stop motion?

That’s because stop motion software has features that are dedicated to the creation, capturing and fine-tuning of stop motion. Ideally, (and this is what they do professionally) you’d use the stop motion software to grab frames, preview, re-shoot, and tweak your animation while you’re in the process of doing it. Once you’re finished, you take your footage and do the editing in a separate video editing suite. Essentially, stop motion software is a production tool and video editing is post-production. In commercial work like movies and TV they use a third and separate audio editing suite to do the sound mixing. It’s more than a little unfair and unrealistic to ask one program to have have the full features of a stop motion, video AND audio editing programs.
