Apple has updated Creator Studio with new AI features

Apple has rolled out a significant update to Creator Studio, adding AI powered features across Pixelmator Pro, Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and several other apps in the suite.

The centerpiece of the update is deeper integration between Pixelmator Pro and the rest of Apple's creative and office apps. Final Cut Pro editors can now send a frame directly to Pixelmator Pro to build thumbnails and social graphics without leaving their workflow. In Keynote, Numbers, and Pages, users can select an image inside a document and open it in Pixelmator Pro for editing, with the changes saved automatically back to the original file.

Vector Generation and Content Hub

Keynote, Numbers, and Pages are also gaining the ability to generate vector shapes using AI.

Pixelmator Pro itself picks up advanced image generation, letting users create images from natural language prompts, along with a new Content Hub for browsing a curated library of images.

The full suite of creative imaging tools offered by Pixelmator Pro can now be directly accessed from within Apple Creator Studio apps like Final Cut Pro, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers.

Freeform is joining the integration too, connecting with Pixelmator Pro once iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate arrive later this year.

Final Cut Pro Additions

Final Cut Pro is the biggest beneficiary of the update. Generate Captions is a new on device AI feature that automatically adds subtitles based on a video's audio track, with support for custom fonts, colors, positions, and animation.

Edit Detection is another new tool. It analyzes a rendered video and reconstructs the original clips on the timeline, which Apple says is useful for making refinements or pulling together a shortened highlight reel for social platforms.

On Mac, Final Cut Pro makes it even easier to refine incoming and outgoing frames with Advanced Trimming.

On the Mac, Final Cut Pro also adds:

Auto Mask, which isolates and refines elements like skin, hair, sky, foliage, and clothing without manual tracking
Color Match improvements for more natural results across different lighting conditions
Advanced Trimming, allowing frame by frame adjustments to incoming and outgoing edits

Motion now supports scaling vector graphics natively without quality loss, and Compressor adds an Immersive Metadata Viewer built for Vision Pro content. Final Cut Camera rounds out the video updates with expanded ProRes support, an option to turn off digital zoom, and Clean HDMI Out for feeding an unobstructed signal to external monitors and recorders.

Logic Pro and MainStage

The new Granular Alchemy Sound Pack for Logic Pro offers a curated collection of loops and presets built specifically for this new mode.

On the audio side, Logic Pro's Chord ID feature has reportedly been rebuilt for greater accuracy, and Apple says Session Players now respond to chord changes more quickly. Logic Pro and MainStage also share a new granular sync mode in Alchemy, which Apple describes as opening up new territory for sound design.

Full details on the update are available on Apple's newsroom. Creator Studio Pro, which bundles all of Apple's creative software, costs $12.99 a month or $129 a year, and a single membership can be shared among up to six people.
