# Palmier Pro Launches as Open-Source, AI-Native Video Editor for macOS

_Tool · published 2026-06-22_

Palmier Pro is a newly released open-source video editor for macOS (requiring macOS 26 Tahoe on Apple Silicon) that embeds generative AI model access—including Seedance, Kling, and Nano Banana Pro—directly into the timeline. The app is built natively in Swift and positions itself as an AI-first alternative to tools like Premiere Pro or CapCut, with the core editor and MCP server available for free and generative AI features gated behind a subscription.

A key differentiator is its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which lets external AI agents—Claude, Codex, and Cursor—connect to and collaborate on the same project inside the timeline editor. The core video editor and MCP integration are fully open source under GPLv3; only the generative AI processing layer is closed source.
