Apple Creator Studio adds powerful new AI features and even more creative tools

Updates bring built-in MotionVFX content to Final Cut Pro, video assets in the Content Hub, expanded music creation tools to Logic Pro, and new intelligence features to Logic Pro, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today introduced transformative updates to Apple Creator Studio, the powerful 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 seamless 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,1 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 assistants2 that understand document context and new Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for workflow automation.3 They also add stock video in the Content Hub and new premium themes and templates.

Expansive New Creative Toolkits and Video Workflows

Final Cut Pro for Mac and iPad delivers an exceptional set of new capabilities for video editors, content creators, and filmmakers, from emerging storytellers to seasoned professionals deep in complex edits. Final Cut Pro for Mac now integrates MotionVFX directly into the app, giving editors access to thousands of elements, including templates with unique themes, stylish graphics, titles, and transitions, as well as tools for rotoscoping, tracking, and color grading. Editors can also tap into the Content Hub directly within Final Cut Pro and access a library of Apple-curated stock videos, photos, and backgrounds to fill gaps, add polish, or spark new ideas without leaving their workflow.

Cross-app workflows and visual creation also take a major leap forward in Final Cut Pro. Editors can open any image from their timeline directly in Pixelmator Pro, take advantage of advanced editing tools, and save changes back to the project automatically — no reimporting required. With advanced image generation, users can create stunning images from text descriptions right inside their project, apply quick edits, and adjust visual styles. And Final Cut Pro introduces powerful workflow improvements, including more keyframe easing options for finer animation control, the ability to disconnect clips from the primary storyline to place them anywhere on the timeline, and 23 new transcription languages, making it easier than ever to caption and search footage.

Motion also adds a built-in set of powerful MotionVFX plug-ins for cinematic color grading, 3D camera tracking, and one-click selection for stunning visual effects. Users can now generate and edit images from text descriptions, send images round-trip to Pixelmator Pro, fine-tune keyframe easing, apply an all-new Displacement filter, and explore an interactive demo project. Additionally, Compressor introduces the ability to encode Cinematic mode video recorded on iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo.

Pixelmator Pro introduces Generate Fill, a powerful new tool to edit images based on a user’s description. Creators can simply circle an area in an image and describe the change they want. For more precision, creators can use existing Pixelmator Pro selection tools, like Free Selection, Quick Selection, or Magnetic Selection. Generate Fill automatically matches the lighting, perspective, and texture of the surrounding environment so edits blend in seamlessly, while built-in Super Resolution upscales the generated content so it stays sharp at any size. Generated elements can be merged into existing layers or inserted as new layers with intelligent masking that allows for continued refinement.

Logic Pro for Mac and iPad brings sophisticated, intuitive new tools for beat making, songwriting, remixing, and production. It also gets an all-new design featuring Liquid Glass, with translucent surfaces and deeper contrast that highlight waveforms and tracks.

A new intelligent assistant powered by a combination of Apple-built models and OpenAI joins Logic Pro for Mac, helping creators and producers navigate production workflows, start a new song, set up a vocal track from a single prompt, or refine an active project.1 Finding the perfect sound is faster and more intuitive than ever with a redesigned Browser on Mac that centralizes loops, instruments, effect patches, and more. Powered by music understanding — an on-device audio analysis tool — Logic Pro automatically analyzes, classifies, and tags added sounds so creators can easily search their entire collection or drag in a loop to surface matching audio.

Logic Pro’s industry-leading Stem Splitter gets even more advanced, with the ability to isolate, replace, or rebalance drum parts without needing the original multitracks. Users can also unlock a new Producer Pack from the 20-time Grammy winner and visionary widely known as the King of Modern Salsa, Sergio George. In this Producer Pack, George opens up his toolbox with his signature piano sound and authentic Latin jazz and salsa loops, including a full salsa percussion section, brass ensemble, and basses.

With Voice Memo Studio Sound, users can also reduce room ambience and background noise in recordings captured on supported iPhone models, with the option to continue fine-tuning in Logic Pro.

Powering Productivity with In-App Intelligence

Freeform adds text styles for one-step formatting and reuse across boards, custom and preset board background colors, and, arriving in December, the ability to edit images directly in Pixelmator Pro and generate editable shapes from text descriptions.
