That's totally fair! I would not want to push you to try out the product, if you're happy with your current editing flow.
We want to make a software that enable more people to be creative with their work, with or without AI. Davinci/Premiere is great software, but for beginners it is still a very high barrier to learn the software.
AI is already used in existing software to help automate parts of editing workflow. One example: Masking an object used to be very mechanical with keyframing, Mocha makes it easier. Now with AI segmentation models, masking anything is much more automated than before. I think that's much more outside of masking that we can just do better.
I have not heard of FableCut, but looks like an interesting project!
It's similar in a sense that we're both exposing a mcp server to let claude runs editing tools, and also a traditional video editor interface.
It's different in terms of how you run it. FableCut requires you to install node, ffmpeg, and run a local server and connect to it via Chromium-based browser, whereas Palmier Pro is a native Mac App.
I don't know enough about the feature parity to comment on it. How is your experience with FableCut?
It makes sense! We are still early in experimenting the pricing and would want to reduce user's overhead in thinking about pricing/credits as much as possible.
I use codex and claude code daily, also build apps with openai and anthropic api keys, so i always go to openai dashboard and anthropic dashboard to track my usage. Since I spend most of times inside cursor or terminal, I wanted to quickly check my usage without leaving my terminal/ide, so i built this!
It's open-source, MIT, and built with ratatui (awesome name).
