Palmier Pro Alternative for Mac
Woven Video is a Palmier Pro alternative for Mac with the AI chat built in. Sign in with ChatGPT on any plan, import your footage and ask for the edit: the agent makes the first cut and adds captions, effects, music and sound effects on a real multi-track timeline. Show it a video you like or your website, and it works from that hook, pacing and brand. Then fine-tune anything by hand and export.

Bottom line: Palmier Pro is built for coding agents: its own chat comes with its paid plans, or you install Claude Code or Codex and connect them. Woven's AI chat is built in and ready the moment you sign in with ChatGPT, on any plan. It can also break down a video you like and pull your brand from your website, so the first cut looks like what you had in mind.
