## What it is
Palmier Pro is an open-source, Swift-native multi-track video editor for macOS (Apple Silicon) with built-in generative AI for video, image, and audio creation on the timeline. It exposes an MCP server so agents like Claude, Codex, or Cursor can generate and edit video projects programmatically alongside a human editor.

## Use cases
- edit videos with claude via mcp
- generate ai video clips on a timeline
- automate video editing workflows with an ai agent
- generate images and audio inside a video editor
- auto-caption footage with transcription
- ai video editor for mac
- edit video without opening the editor using an agent

## When to choose
- You want an AI-native NLE on Apple Silicon macOS where agents can drive the timeline via MCP
- You want to generate video/images/audio with models like Seedance, Kling, or Nano Banana Pro directly in the editor
- You want free core editing and export with optional paid generation credits

## When to avoid
- You need a cross-platform or Linux/Windows editor
- You run macOS older than 26 (Tahoe) or non-Apple-Silicon hardware
- You need a fully open-source pipeline without any paid cloud generation or transcription services
