About Palmier Pro

Palmier Pro is an open-source, AI-powered video editor developed in Swift specifically for macOS, targeting Apple Silicon devices running macOS 26 (Tahoe). The editor combines traditional video editing capabilities with embedded generative AI tools, allowing users to create and edit videos directly within a timeline interface similar to mainstream editors like CapCut or Premiere. It distinguishes itself by exposing a local MCP server that enables AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Claude Desktop to connect and collaborate on the same project, facilitating automated or assisted editing workflows. Users can generate videos and images using supported AI models like Seedance, Kling, and Nano Banana Pro directly within the timeline, streamlining the creative process. The editor is designed for video editors, content creators, social media managers, indie filmmakers, and developers who require AI-assisted editing or wish to integrate AI agents into their video production workflows. Palmier Pro operates as a standalone application while also supporting collaborative AI-driven editing through its MCP server architecture. The generative AI features are accessible via a paid subscription, though the core editor is distributed under the GPLv3 license. Its focus on local, agent-based collaboration and AI model integration positions it as a unique tool for modern, AI-enhanced video production on macOS.
