Show HN: Palmier Pro – open-source macOS video editor built for AI
Palmier Pro is a powerful, open-source video editor designed specifically for macOS, reimagining the editing workflow for the AI era. Built with Swift and Metal, it offers professional-grade features like real-time color grading with curves and wheels, LUT support, and advanced effects such as noise reduction and motion blur. Unlike traditional editors, Palmier Pro integrates AI capabilities directly into its core, allowing creators to leverage intelligent tools for faster, more efficient video production. With a focus on performance and a clean, modern interface, it provides a robust alternative for developers and creators seeking a transparent, customizable editing environment.
A clip carries an ordered effects stack that is forward-compatible, ensuring newer projects don't break older builds while effects are declarative entries that grow as data, not engine code.

This looks great! Have you thought about dropping the 'subscription'-part and 'just' selling credits instead?
Here's my thinking as a SaaS founder: when I launch a product, I don't need a video every month. So a monthly pricing makes me do this little calculation every time: "do I need a video this month? nah. Then I'll wait. I lose the early-bird price, but I still net out cheaper." And since there's no yearly option, there's nothing pulling me into the early plan either.
What I would jump on is a launch offer. Something like XXX credits for a good price, enough that it feels like 3 videos over the course of a year. Even if I never use them all (very likely, honestly), I'd buy it. Credits sit there and wait for me, a subscription just quietly bills me for months I don't need it.
Hope that makes sense :)

Palmier team ftw. Great execution. I love editing videos like this
I remember playing with claude to try and generate videos (or tools to generate videos) a year ago. I never reached something like this, and I think the models were already capable back then.

This is what I have been waiting for in order to process my massive action camera library, I will definitely give it a try!
I will start with older standard GoPro videos, and hope that by the time I make it to the Insta360 videos the editor supports 360 video (unless it does already!)

Nice! Because the Grok subscription is the cheapest-per-second video offering (that I'm aware of) but doesn't provide API access, I'm often moving between the browser and editor (typically Final Cut).
It feels cheaper by orders of magnitude right now per-second. I'm not sure how long that will continue, but until then, that's pretty important to me, especially when video generation is so imprecise, and thus more of a "rough draft" creative tool than a "final shot" tool.
Quite often my workflow looks like: "Grab this frame from which I'd like a continuation" -> "Upload back to Grok on web" -> "Generate until happy" -> "Download and use".
So a feature request (or I'll just fork next time I'm doing something with AI video) is simply a browser tab alongside the generation tab, literally just to make that window swapping easier, and ideally with 'download' pointing to a sensible location to avoid file replication.
This feels closest to how I use AI video, which is just kind of like an infinitely extensible library tab on my video editing software. I know you said 'no webview' - I don't know Swift well enough to know if that excludes this feature.
There's probably a bunch of ways to improve my specific flow once there's a browser within the UI, especially with MCP integration. Much to consider.
And overall it looks fun, and I'm excited to give it a try. It's great this has beat detection specifically, because that's non-negotiable in a video editor for me when doing AI stuff, as th […]

I've been following Marcos's youtube channel and it's so great to see that they've finally found their thing. Looks like an awesome product that people actually want. Well done.
