Palmier Pro

Palmier Pro is a full non-linear video editor for macOS built around a different assumption: that an AI agent, not just a human, might be driving the timeline. Connect it to Claude, Codex, or Cursor over MCP and an agent can trim, generate, and assemble footage directly inside your project — or use the built-in Palmier chat agent to do the same without leaving the app.

Why it makes the list

Most video editors bolt AI features onto a traditional NLE. Palmier Pro builds the editor around the agent from the start: teach it an edit once with "Save the process as a Skill," and it repeats that exact workflow on your next batch of clips automatically. It also plugs into 20+ generation models — Runway, FLUX, ElevenLabs, and more — for images, voiceovers, music, and dubbing, all landing straight on the timeline instead of a separate export/import round trip.

Standout features

• MCP integration with Claude, Codex, and Cursor for agent-driven editing
• Skills: record an edit once, replay the same workflow on new footage automatically
• 20+ generation models for image, video, voiceover, music, and dubbing
• Full NLE toolset — trimming, keyframes, text overlays, and color grading
• Pro export paths to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro via XML
• ProRes, H.264, and H.265 render output

Pricing

The editor and MCP connection are free and open source (GPL-3.0). A Pro plan adds bundled generation credits, and a managed Palmier Service will produce finished videos for you for a per-video fee. Requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later.
