Palmier Pro is a macOS video editor designed from the ground up for AI. Instead of bolting generation tools onto a traditional editor, it puts AI image, video, and audio generation directly on the timeline, and exposes the whole project to AI agents through MCP so tools like Claude or Codex can edit for you. The Y Combinator-backed app has been downloaded more than 100,000 times, and its GitHub repository, which hosts releases and project history, has earned over 14,000 stars.
Palmier Pro is a full non-linear editor written natively in Swift, aiming at a Premiere Pro-class workflow: trim clips, add text, set keyframes, color grade, and finish a cut yourself, or hand the first pass to an agent. Generation is integrated rather than outsourced: leading models for image, video, voiceover, music, sound effects, dubbing, and upscaling are available inside the project, so generated clips land on the timeline ready to trim instead of being shuffled between five apps. A standout workflow is teachable editing: make one version with an agent, save the process as a reusable Skill, then apply it to the next video, which is powerful for recurring formats like ads and series content. Finished work renders to H.264, H.265, or ProRes, or exports as XML to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut. It requires Apple Silicon and macOS 26.
The Palmier Pro editor and its MCP connection are free to download and use. AI generation, upscaling, and cloud transcription run on paid credits, and team or enterprise plans are available for volume needs, so the product follows a freemium model.
Palmier Pro is for Mac-based creators, editors, and agencies who want generative AI inside a real editing workflow rather than on a separate website. It especially suits high-volume formats where an agent can do the first pass and a reusable Skill keeps every episode consistent.
