Palmier Pro homepage screenshot, video AI tool

Our take: Choose Palmier Pro if you use a Mac and want Claude, Codex or Cursor to drive a multi-track video editor over MCP, with a free editor and paid generation credits.

Main limitation: It requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later, and media generation, cloud transcription and chat are paid only.
