About Palmier Pro
Palmier Pro is a professional video editor that integrates AI generation directly into the timeline, eliminating the need to switch between web tools and editing software. Designed for video creators, editors, and AI enthusiasts, it supports multi-track editing for video, audio, image, and text, and allows you to generate AI media—including images, video, and audio—using leading models such as Kling V3, Seedance 2.0, Veo 3.1, and Grok Imagine. The editor itself is free; you only pay credits for AI generation. Palmier Pro enables you to mix your own footage with AI-generated clips on the same timeline, with full timeline tools: trim, split, adjust speed, opacity, and transform. It also offers an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so agents like Claude, Cursor, and Codex can read your project and make edits programmatically. Exports include MP4 (H.264, H.265, ProRes) and NLE XML for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. What sets Palmier Pro apart is its native AI integration: you generate, iterate, and finish cuts in one project rather than downloading clips from platforms like Runway or Higgsfield and rebuilding edits elsewhere. The Palmier AI assistant lets you generate and edit using natural language, and you can reference images with @ to match a look or subject. The app requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later, and no account is needed for the free editor or MCP. Palmier Pro does not train AI models on user content, as per its privacy policy. It currently has two paid credit tiers (Pro and Max) with launch pricing, and a custom enterprise plan is available by booking a demo. For heavy users, credit costs can add up, but the free editor remains a powerful tool for non-AI editing.
Behind the Verdict
Palmier Pro is the fastest way to go from AI prompt to finished video on a timeline. For Mac users, it eliminates the generation-download-import cycle that plagues Runway and Higgsfield workflows. The free tier is surprisingly capable: you get a full multi-track editor and MCP support at $0. That alone makes it worth downloading. Where it bites: credits. At $29 for 5,000 credits, generating a few minutes of video can eat through the allowance quickly. Pro-level users with heavy generation will want the Max plan. And it's Mac-only—no Windows or Linux support, and you need macOS 26. Compared to CapCut or Premiere, Palmier has fewer polish features. But if your work involves AI-generated footage, the native integration is a real time-saver. The MCP server is a standout: developers can have Claude or Cursor edit the timeline autonomously. We'd reach for this when assembling AI-driven social clips or exploring generative shots before committing to a full edit suite. Just budget for credits.

Models Under the Hood
Limitations
- Palmier Pro runs exclusively on macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later, with no web or mobile version.
- Credit consumption varies by model, resolution, and duration, so the exact output count is not fixed—rough guide: 5,000 credits yields ~333 images or 3–7 minutes of video.
- The free tier has no credits, so AI generation is paywalled behind paid plans.
- MCP is available on all tiers, but the agent's capabilities may depend on the connected agent's own limitations.
