Verdict
ChartAnimator wins for chart creation - Premiere for editing
Premiere Pro is a post-production tool - it edits existing video. It cannot create animated candlestick charts from scratch. A trading YouTube channel that produces animated chart content needs ChartAnimator (or similar) to create the animation, and may optionally use Premiere to assemble multiple clips or add a branded intro. Most trading educators don't need both - ChartAnimator handles the full workflow.
