Apple Creator Studio pricing in Singapore
New subscribers pay S$17.98 a month or S$179 a year, and every new subscriber gets a one-month free trial. Buyers of a new Mac or qualifying iPad can get three months free. College students and educators pay S$3.98 a month or S$39 a year.
Existing subscribers get the update at no extra cost. Apple Creator Studio is a universal purchase on the App Store, and up to six family members can share it through Family Sharing.
Apple also still sells one-time versions of its pro apps on the Mac App Store: Final Cut Pro at S$399.98, Logic Pro at S$299.98, Pixelmator Pro, Motion and Compressor at S$69.98 each, and MainStage at S$39.98. Keynote, Pages, Numbers and Freeform remain free.
AI assistants in Logic Pro, Keynote, Pages and Numbers
The assistants are built on Apple models combined with OpenAI. In Keynote, the assistant helps design, animate and refine slides. In Pages, it drafts and restructures text. In Numbers, it recommends chart types, previews them and builds custom tables.
Logic Pro’s assistant can set up a vocal track from a single prompt or start a new song. Apple’s Brent Chiu-Watson said the assistants are “going to change the game” for how people learn and use the apps.
All of these assistants are in beta and work in US English only. The Logic Pro assistant needs macOS 27 and an Apple Intelligence-capable Mac. Keynote, Pages and Numbers also gain Model Context Protocol support on macOS 27, which lets external AI agents read content and make edits in those apps. Keynote adds an open JSON-based file format, .keyx, aimed at developer workflows and AI agents.
MotionVFX and Generate Fill for video and image editors
Final Cut Pro for Mac now includes MotionVFX content, covering effects, plug-ins, transitions, templates and motion graphics. Apple’s Content Hub, which now carries stock video, is also available inside Final Cut Pro. Editors can open timeline images in Pixelmator Pro and save changes back automatically.
Pixelmator Pro gains Generate Fill. Users circle an area of an image, describe the change in plain language, and the tool matches the surrounding lighting, perspective and texture. Final Cut Pro adds 23 transcription languages, and Motion gets MotionVFX plug-ins for colour grading and 3D camera tracking.
Logic Pro adds drum separation and a redesigned Browser
Logic Pro’s Stem Splitter can now isolate, replace or rebalance drum parts without the original multitracks. A redesigned Browser on Mac brings loops, instruments and effect patches into one place, and uses on-device music analysis to tag sounds so users can search their whole collection. Logic Pro also gets a Liquid Glass redesign and a Producer Pack from Sergio George.
Freeform will gain Pixelmator Pro image editing and text-to-shape generation in December.
