🌟 Core Philosophy & Features

Palmier Pro was not built as a wrapper built from the ground up using Swift. The developers' "North Star" is the professional workflow of Adobe Premiere Pro, but reimagined for the AI era.

Key Capabilities:

• Native Performance: A fully Swift-native architecture for maximum efficiency on macOS.
• Integrated Generative AI: Create high-fidelity images and videos directly within your timeline using state-of-the-art (SOTA) models:
  • Seedance
  • Kling
  • Nano Banana Pro
• Agentic Collaboration: Work side-by-side with AI agents (like Claude or Cursor) to manipulate your project.

The conceptual formula for the Palmier Pro experience can be viewed as: $\text{Creative Output} = (\text{Swift Native UI} + \text{SOTA GenAI}) \times \text{Agentic Integration}$
