How much does Palmier Pro cost?

Palmier Pro is free and open source under GPL-3.0 — anyone can clone, build, and run the macOS editor without paying. Generative AI inside the timeline (Kling V3, Google Veo 3.1) and the bundled coding-agent integration require a paid Palmier account, with launch pricing starting at $29 per month for the Pro tier.

Does Palmier Pro run on Windows or Linux?

Palmier Pro is Swift-native and targets macOS Tahoe on Apple Silicon only. There is no Windows or Linux build of the v0.3.5 editor. The MCP server side is open code that could in principle be ported, but the timeline UI is tied to AppKit and Metal, so a cross-platform port is not on the announced roadmap.

Which AI video models does Palmier Pro integrate with?

Palmier Pro ships built-in generative support for Kling V3 and Google Veo 3.1, callable from the timeline as ordinary clips. Generated material can be mixed with user footage on the same multi-track timeline and exported as MP4 or NLE-XML for hand-off to Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

How is Palmier Pro different from a regular video editor with AI plugins?

Palmier Pro exposes every editor action — trim a clip, split a keyframe track, ripple-insert B-roll, transcript-cut a podcast — as a Model Context Protocol tool. Claude Opus 4.8, Cursor or Codex can then drive the whole timeline from chat, instead of running a one-shot AI generation and stopping at a single rendered asset.

What is new in Palmier Pro v0.3.5?

Palmier Pro v0.3.5 adds transcript-based cutting (highlight a phrase, the timeline ripples the matching footage with full undo), folder imports, a ripple-insert that respects linked audio, frame-accurate trim parameters and an upgrade to Claude Opus 4.8 for the agent integration. Three fatal Sentry crashes carried over from earlier 0.3 builds were also fixed.

What is it?

v0.3.5 of Palmier Pro adds transcript-based cutting: highlight a word in the transcript and the timeline ripple-deletes the matching footage with a single undo. Palmier Pro itself is a Swift-native macOS video editor, GPL-3.0, that pairs a traditional multi-track timeline with built-in generative clips from Kling V3 and Google Veo 3.1.

How does it work?

Every editor action is exposed as a Model Context Protocol tool — split a keyframe track, ripple-insert with linked audio, fold in a folder of source files, trim by source frame number. A connected Claude Opus 4.8, Cursor or Codex session can then drive the whole edit from chat, while a human still scrubs the timeline directly in AppKit.

Why does it matter?

Mainstream NLEs treat AI as a plugin that returns a finished asset; Palmier flips the relationship so the timeline IS the agent's environment. A Claude session can therefore build a podcast cut or a B-roll-laden explainer end-to-end and export NLE-XML for Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Three releases in three days (v0.3.3 → v0.3.5) show the team iterating in public.
