Palmier-Pro: macOS video editor built for AI

Palmier-Pro is a macOS video editor designed with AI integration, offering features like script-to-video generation, automated subtitles, and AI-powered editing tools to streamline video production workflows.

Background

- Palmier-Pro is a macOS video editor that deeply integrates AI features (e.g., AI-powered text-to-speech, auto-captioning, background removal, AI clip generation) into the editing timeline — rather than offering them as bolted-on plugins. - It's built natively for Apple Silicon (M-series chips), using Apple's Metal and Core ML frameworks to run AI models locally on-device, aiming for speed and privacy. - The project is open source (GitHub), which is unusual for a professional-grade video editor; most competitors (Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro) are proprietary and expensive. - It targets solo creators, YouTubers, and small studios who want AI workflows without cloud subscriptions or sending footage to third-party servers. - "Built for AI" means features like automatically generating B-roll, removing filler words from audio, or adjusting pacing using language models — tasks an editor would normally do manually.
