Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 28 Oct, 03:39 · Archive

Apple has updated its Creator Studio apps with built-in MotionVFX and new AI features across Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and other applications.

Apple has updated its Creator Studio suite with new tools and artificial intelligence features across Mac, iPad, and iPhone. The updates arrive on the App Store in November as a free update for existing subscribers, priced at $12.99 per month or $129 per year.

Final Cut Pro for Mac now includes built-in MotionVFX, which Apple acquired earlier this year. The integration brings thousands of effects, plug-ins, transitions, templates, titles and motion graphics tools, including rotoscoping, tracking, and colour grading. A curated Content Hub within Final Cut Pro now contains stock videos, photos and backgrounds for use in projects. The update also allows clips to be disconnected from the primary timeline and placed anywhere within projects.

Pixelmator Pro's Generate Fill tool allows users to select an area of an image and describe changes they want in natural language, with AI applying the edits. Logic Pro introduces an intelligent assistant in beta, developed with OpenAI, which can edit existing projects, start new songs and generate vocal tracks from text prompts. The Logic Pro assistant is Mac-only and requires macOS 27 on an Apple Intelligence-capable Mac.

Keynote, Pages, and Numbers are all gaining AI assistants that understand document context and can help with creating presentations, writing documents, and working with spreadsheets. These assistants support both Apple's own models and OpenAI models, alongside compatible external AI tools. The assistants require an Apple Intelligence-capable device running iOS 27, iPadOS 27, or macOS 27. All assistants are currently in beta and available in U.S. English only.

One-time-purchase versions of Final Cut Pro ($299.99), Logic Pro ($199.99), Pixelmator Pro ($49.99), Motion ($49.99), Compressor ($49.99), and MainStage ($29.99) remain available on the Mac App Store and will receive the new features in November.
