The video editor built for AI.

Requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) on Apple Silicon

Palmier Pro is an open source video editor for Mac. You and your agent can generate and edit videos together inside the timeline.

Swift-native video editor

We built Palmier Pro from scratch with Swift. The north star is Premiere Pro, with our take on integrating AI into the workflow.

Built-in Generative AI

Generate videos and images with SOTA models like Seedance, Kling, Nano Banana Pro inside the timeline editor.

Integrates with your agents

Connects your Claude/Codex/Cursor via MCP, or use the in-app agent to work on the same project together.

MCP server

When the app is open, it exposes an MCP server at http://127.0.0.1:19789/mcp via HTTP. To connect:

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http palmier-pro http://127.0.0.1:19789/mcp

Codex

codex mcp add palmier-pro --url http://127.0.0.1:19789/mcp

Cursor

The easiest way is go inside the app Help -> MCP Instructions -> Install in Cursor, or install manually by adding this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "palmier-pro": { "type": "http", "url": "http://127.0.0.1:19789/mcp" } } }

Claude Desktop

We bundle a mcpb with the app that allows a one click install Desktop Extension on Claude Desktop. Go to Help -> MCP Instructions -> Install in Claude Desktop

FAQ

Is Palmier Pro fully open source?

The video editor (without the generative AI features) is fully open source. The MCP server and the agent chat are also open source. The only thing that is closed source is the generative AI processing.

Is it free?

The editor is free. You can download it with no login required, and use it as a video editor like CapCut or Adobe Premiere. You can also use the MCP server for free, and start experimenting using Claude Code/Desktop or Cursor to interact with your timeline editor.

Generative AI features require login and subscription.

What platforms does it support?

macOS 26 (Tahoe) on Apple Silicon only.
