Apple's creative software subscription has received some major upgrades, including more AI-powered features in Final Cut Pro, whether or not you want it.

On Tuesday, Apple updated its Creator Studio lineup of apps, which it first introduced in late January. Impressively, nearly all of the apps included within the bundle have received some form of update.

Final Cut Pro

Final Cut Pro, unsurprisingly, has received the bulk of updates this time around. Apple's professional-grade video editor now boasts two new AI-powered features.

Generate Captions automatically transcribes audio into timeline subtitles. Edit Detection analyzes rendered video and splits it back into the original clips, giving editors the chance to refine their edits.

New Creator Themes help streamline editing by supporting multiple aspect ratios, dynamic titles, and customizable backgrounds. A new Auto Mask feature detects objects in a scene, including people, sky, clothing, and more.

Color Match has been updated to offer improved color matching across a wide range of lighting conditions. Advanced Trimming helps editors to fine-tune both incoming and outgoing frames.

Final Cut Camera

Final Cut Camera, the free video capture app for iPhone and iPad, also got some updates. It now supports Clean HDMI Out, allowing users to send a high-quality video signal to external monitors and recorders.

Apple has also bolstered ProRes support, including ProRes LT. This gives editors more flexibility when choosing the appropriate codec for production.

Logic Pro

Apple's pro-level audio editor, Logic Pro, now features a redesigned Cord ID. It can identify extended cords and inversions more accurately.

Beat Breaker has new filter modes, pan modes, and randomization controls. A new Granular Alchemy Sound Pack is available alongside the new granular sync mode in the Alchemy synthesizer.

Producers can also check out a new Producer Project that features the complete session for "Shoulda Never" by Khris Riddick-Tynes.

Pixelmator Pro

Pixelmator Pro has received several updates to help it work with other apps in Creator Studio. Users can now edit images placed in Keynote, Pages, and Numbers, or frames from Final Cut Pro, directly in Pixelmator Pro.

A new AI-powered image generator allows users to create and edit images using natural language. Users can also create vector shapes via natural language.

Apple has also rolled out a new Content Hub. Here, users can find premium photos, graphics, illustrations, and shapes.

Freeform

Freeform finally gains Dark Mode, a much-requested feature from fans. And it features folder organization for all your Freeform boards as well.

Support for AI shape generation is now available. Users can also open images directly within Pixelmator Pro for more detailed edits.

Compressor & Motion

Compressor, Apple's media transcoder, got a few new updates, too. It boasts a new Immersive Metadata Viewer, supports 180-degree Apple Projected Media Profile for the Apple Vision Pro, and an Anaglyph View for Stereoscopic Video Preview.

Motion's updates were also relatively small this time around. It now natively supports vectors, and a new Distribute Layers dramatically speeds up animation workflows.

Keynote, Pages, Numbers

Apple's iWork suite has gained a few updates, too. Keynote now features new presentation transitions and animation builds.

Numbers gives users the ability to hide individual sheets. Users can also color-code spreadsheet sheets.

Pages on iPhone and iPad now has a new auto-hyphenate feature, as well as a Show Invisibles feature for more precise editing.

Pricing and availability:

Apple Creator Studio is available for $12.99 per month or $129 per year. New users can score a one-month free trial.

Education pricing drops it even lower, to $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year.

If you haven't tried it out yet and you have recently purchased a new Mac or iPad, you can get a one-time, three-month free trial.

Of course, if you're not sold on the idea of a subscription, you can snag each of the following programs for a one-time purchase below.

Apple's iWork suite, including Pages, Keynote, and Numbers, is still free. Freeform, Apple's collaborative brainstorming app, is also available for free.

Standalone, one-time purchase apps are quite similar to those in Creator Studio but may be missing some premium features and AI-powered features. Features like the Apple Content Hub require a subscription to Creator Studio.
