Apple is rolling out updates of its Creator Studio apps it announced last month.
Both the Creator Studio version and standalone version of the Logic Pro app for the Mac were updated today. Apparently, Pixelmator Pro will also be updated today, with more apps in the suite set to be updated throughout November.
On October 27, Apple introduced what it said is “transformative updates” to the collection of creative apps designed to put studio-grade tools into the hands of modern creators across Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
Final Cut Pro for Mac now includes built-in MotionVFX — an expansive collection of visual effects, plug-ins, transitions, templates, and motion graphics tools — as well as editing in Pixelmator Pro. Apple’s curated Content Hub now includes video assets and is available in Final Cut Pro.
Music creators using Logic Pro for Mac gain a new intelligent assistant in beta, an enhanced Stem Splitter that now separates drums, and a redesigned Browser that incorporates all sounds, with music understanding and even a Splice library.
Pixelmator Pro introduces Generate Fill, which lets creators transform selected areas of an image using natural language. Keynote, Pages, and Numbers introduce new AI features in beta, including assistants that understand document context and new Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for workflow automation. They also add stock video in the Content Hub and new premium themes and templates.
You can find all the details here.
However, as noted by MacRumors, according to Apple’s full release notes for version 13.0 of Logic Pro for Mac, released today, the new AI-powered Intelligent Assistant feature requires an Apple Creator Studio subscription for $12.99 per month or $129 per year. In other words, the feature is not available in the $199.99 one-time purchase version of Logic Pro.
