What it does
Palmier Pro is a video editor for macOS with AI built in. You can generate videos and images with AI models such as Seedance, Kling and Nano Banana Pro directly inside the timeline.
AI assistants like Claude, Codex or Cursor can connect to it through MCP, a standard way to plug tools into AI, and create and edit on the same timeline. There's also an in-app agent.
It requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) on an Apple Silicon Mac.
