Palmier has launched Palmier Pro, a Mac-native video editor designed to combine AI-generated media and traditional editing workflows in a single application. The software also includes a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI agents such as Claude, Codex, and Cursor to directly modify projects, including generating footage, trimming clips, reordering sequences, and updating content with access to the full timeline.
The product is being released by Palmier, a company founded by Marcos Rico Peng and Harrison Tin. According to the company, Palmier Pro is now publicly available, with the editor and MCP server offered as open-source software. Users pay only for AI generation features through a credit-based subscription model.
Palmier positions the software as an alternative to workflows that require creators to move repeatedly between AI generation tools and video editing applications. Rather than treating generated media as assets imported from external services, Palmier integrates image, video, and audio generation directly into the editing environment. Each generated clip retains information including prompts, models, and reference materials, allowing users to revisit and modify content without leaving the project.
The application follows the structure of a traditional non-linear editor, with a media library, preview window, and multi-track timeline supporting video, audio, images, and text. Standard editing controls are included alongside an AI assistant that can generate assets and place them directly into projects.
In a launch post, the founders described the challenge the product is designed to address. “Making AI videos today means bouncing between tools constantly,” they wrote. “You generate a clip in Runway or Higgsfield, import it into Premiere, realize one section doesn’t work, go back to the generation tool, regenerate, reimport. That loop repeats dozens of times per video.”
Palmier says its approach centers on making AI generation part of the editing process itself. The company tracks prompts, models, and references for individual clips, enabling revisions and regeneration from within the timeline rather than through separate applications.
The software supports multiple AI generation models, including Kling V3, Seedance 2.0, Veo 3.1, and Grok Imagine. Users can create images, video, and audio assets through the media panel or generate content directly on the timeline while controlling settings such as duration, resolution, aspect ratio, and reference imagery.
A key component of the launch is Palmier’s MCP integration. Through the local MCP server, external AI agents can interact directly with editing projects. According to the company, connected agents can generate new footage, rearrange clips, perform timeline edits, and modify AI-generated content while maintaining awareness of the broader project context.
Early reactions have focused less on generation quality and more on the workflow design. Commenting on the launch, Somi AI wrote: “Palmier is being described as another AI video editor, but the more interesting detail is how it’s built for agents… The agent operates the editor itself, rather than suggesting changes in a separate chat window. It’s a clean example of a broader pattern. Instead of bolting an AI assistant onto a product, you expose the product itself as a tool an agent can drive.”
Palmier says it developed the editor after initially building software focused on helping AI understand codebases. Before the public release, the company used Palmier Pro to create more than 15 cinematic launch videos for YC companies.
The editor exports projects in MP4 formats including H.264, H.265, and ProRes, and also supports NLE XML exports for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve workflows.
Palmier is offering a free tier that includes the editor and MCP server without requiring an account. Paid plans begin at $29 per month at launch pricing and include credits for AI-generated images, video, and audio. The company says credits are consumed only when generation features are used.
The release arrives with some limitations. Palmier Pro currently requires macOS 26 or later and does not support Windows, Linux, or older versions of macOS. Because the product launched publicly only recently, independent user reviews remain limited.
For Palmier, the launch represents a broader effort to merge AI generation, editing, and agent-driven workflows into a single environment. Rather than treating AI as a separate assistant layered onto an editor, the company is betting that creators will increasingly want AI systems capable of operating directly within the tools where work is performed.
