Who is Palmier best for?
Palmier is best for Mac users who want Claude, Codex or Cursor to do the first cut of a video on a real timeline.
Editors already paying for an AI agent
A local MCP server lets Claude, Codex or Cursor open the project and edit the timeline on the subscription you already have.
Recurring video formats
Save one finished edit as a Skill and run it on the next video, which suits weekly clips, ads and series with fixed rules.
Mixing real footage with AI clips
Images, video, voice and music from models such as Kling, Seedance and ElevenLabs land straight on the timeline next to your own media.
Hand-offs to Premiere, Resolve or Final Cut
Export NLE XML to finish the cut in another editor, or render H.264, H.265 or ProRes directly.
