# Palmier Pro for Mac

> A video editor your coding agent can drive.

Palmier Pro is a multi-track editor that exposes its timeline to Claude, Codex and Cursor over MCP, so an agent can cut, caption and assemble footage, and it exports NLE XML for other editors. Editing is free; paid plans add generation credits and cloud transcription.
