Apple is launching a new Creator Studio subscription bundle that provides access to premium content for six creative apps and iWork apps, the company announced Tuesday.
This bundle costs $12.99 per month or $129 per year and includes access to Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and Pixelmator Pro on Mac and iPad, as well as Motion, Compressor, and MainStage on Mac. Also includes premium content from Keynote, Pages, and Numbers. The bundle will then include Freeform for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. College students and educators can subscribe for $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year.
Apple Creator Studio will be available starting January 28th. All new subscribers receive a 1-month free trial.
As part of Tuesday’s announcement, Apple revealed that these creative apps will be releasing new features.
Final Cut Pro on Mac and iPad includes Transcript Search to find soundbites, Visual Search to find exact moments by description, and Beat Detection. In Final Cut Pro for iPad, Montage Maker lets you start editing right away and reframe your content with automatic crops.
Logic Pro also adds new features such as a synth player, chord ID, new sound libraries, and natural language search.
Apple Creator Studio also gives you access to MainStage, which turns your Mac into an instrument, audio processor, or guitar rig.

Pixelmator Pro, a company Apple acquired in 2024, is also coming to iPad for the first time, bringing its editing tools to more creators. Includes full Apple Pencil support and fast image editing.
Apple Creator Studio also provides access to Motion, a motion graphics tool for creating 2D and 3D effects. Also included is Compressor, which works with Final Cut Pro and Motion to customize output settings for distribution.
“Apple Creator Studio is an invaluable product that allows creators of all types to explore their craft and improve their skills by giving them easy access to the most powerful and intuitive tools for video editing, music creation, creative imaging, and visual productivity, all elevated with advanced intelligent tools to enhance and accelerate their workflows,” Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, said in a press release.
In Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, a Creator Studio subscription unlocks a new “content hub” where users can find high-quality photos, graphics, and illustrations. Plus, we’re adding new premium templates and themes to Keynote, Pages, and Numbers.
Apple Creator Studio gives users access to beta features in Keynote. This includes tools to generate presentation drafts from text outlines, create presenter notes from existing slides, and quickly clean up layouts and object placement. Numbers allows subscribers to use pattern recognition with Magic Fill to generate formulas and automatically populate tables.
The tech giant says Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage will continue to be available as one-time purchases in the Mac App Store, while free versions of Numbers, Pages, Keynote, and Freeform will continue to be available.
