Apple today updated its Creator Studio apps, adding new AI features to Pixelmator Pro, Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and more.
Apple integrates Pixelmator Pro with Final Cut Pro, Keynote, Numbers and Pages. Final Cut Pro users can send an image to Pixelmator Pro to create thumbnails and social graphics. In Keynote, Numbers, and Pages, users can select an image in a document and open it in Pixelmator Pro for editing, with changes saved in the original document.
All three desktop apps support vector shape generation using AI, and Pixelmator Pro benefits from advanced image generation and a Content Hub. Users can generate AI images directly in Pixelmator Pro with natural language and browse a curated collection of images in Content Hub. Freeform also integrates with Pixelmator Pro in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate.
Final Cut Pro gets Generate Captions, an on-device AI feature that automatically adds subtitles to videos based on audio. Subtitles can have animations and custom fonts, colors and positions.
Edit Detection is a new AI feature that analyzes rendered video and splits it into original clips on the timeline. Apple says editors can use the tool to refine edits or assemble a trimmed highlight clip for social media.
On Mac, Final Cut Pro has an automatic mask feature that isolates and sharpens video elements such as skin, hair, sky, foliage, and clothing. Users can hover over a clip and make precise adjustments without manual tracking. Color Match now produces more accurate and natural color matches in different lighting conditions, and Advanced Trimming allows users to refine incoming and outgoing images one by one.
Motion has native support for scaling vector graphics without affecting quality, and Compressor has an immersive metadata viewer for Vision Pro. Final Cut Camera boasts extensive ProRes support, an option to turn off digital zoom, and a clean HDMI output for sending a pristine video signal to external monitors and recorders.
Logic Pro’s Chord ID feature has been rebuilt and is more accurate than before. Apple claims that Session Players will respond and make chord changes more quickly. Both Logic Pro and MainStage feature a new granular sync mode in Alchemy to open up “new dimensions of sound design.”
More information about updates is available on Apple’s website. Creator Studio Pro includes all of Apple’s creative software and costs $12.99 per month or $129 per year. Up to six people can share a single subscription.
