Apple’s new Creator Studio offers pro-level editing apps on a subscription

Apple is bundling its biggest creative tools into a single subscription. 

The company has unveiled Apple Creator Studio, a new all-in-one plan that gives creators access to pro-level editing, music, and design apps across Mac and iPad without paying for each one individually.

The subscription pulls together Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage, alongside premium features in Keynote, Pages, Numbers, and eventually Freeform.

Available from January 28, Apple Creator Studio costs £12.99/$12.99 per month or £129/$129 per year, with a one-month free trial. There’s also a heavily discounted education plan at £2.99/$2.99 per month for students and educators.

The headline draw here is convenience. Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro alone already cost hundreds as one-off purchases, and Creator Studio makes them available on both Mac and iPad under one plan. Pixelmator Pro is also joining the iPad for the first time, with a touch-optimised interface and full Apple Pencil support.

Apple is also leaning heavily into AI-powered features. In Final Cut Pro, creators get tools like Transcript Search for quickly finding soundbites, Visual Search for locating specific objects in footage, and Beat Detection that lines up cuts automatically to music.

On iPad, a new Montage Maker can assemble a rough edit in seconds using AI, making it easier to get content ready for social platforms.

Logic Pro sees similar upgrades, with tools like Synth Player and Chord ID designed to speed up songwriting and production. Apple says these features can analyse audio and generate chord progressions automatically, making it easier to experiment without getting bogged down in music theory.

Beyond video and music, Creator Studio also adds value to Apple’s productivity apps. Subscribers get access to a new Content Hub, premium templates, and AI-powered image tools such as Auto Crop and Super Resolution. Keynote, Pages, and Numbers remain free for everyone, but Creator Studio unlocks extra polish for users who rely on them professionally.

Apple Creator Studio doesn’t replace one-time purchases — users can still buy individual Mac apps outright — but for creators who jump between video, music, and design, the subscription looks like a much cheaper way to go all-in on Apple’s creative ecosystem.
