What is Apple Creator Studio?

Apple Creator Studio is a subscription service that gives you access to Apple's entire suite of professional creative software across Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Previously, apps like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro required significant upfront investment or individual subscriptions on an iPad. This new service bundles them all.

The subscription includes:

• Video: Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor
• Audio: Logic Pro, MainStage
• Imaging: Pixelmator Pro (Mac and iPad)
• Productivity: Premium content for Keynote, Pages, and Numbers

For UAE creatives, the value proposition is clear. Buying the Mac versions of these apps individually would cost nearly Dhs 3,000. The subscription significantly lowers the barrier to entry, especially for those who work on both Mac and iPad.

New AI features and iPad support

The launch isn't just about bundling existing apps. Apple is introducing significant updates powered by Apple Silicon. This aligns with recent moves to integrate more intelligence across the ecosystem, similar to its broader AI partnerships and strategy.

Pixelmator Pro on iPad: For the first time, the popular image editor comes to iPad with full Apple Pencil support. It features a touch-optimised workspace and tools such as Warp for shaping layers.

Final Cut Pro AI: The video editor gets smarter with Transcript Search, allowing you to find clips by typing phrases from the audio. A new Beat Detection feature uses AI to visualise music beats in the timeline, making it easier to cut video to music.

Logic Pro updates: Musicians get a new Synth Player and Chord ID, which can analyse recordings and generate chord progressions automatically.

Apple Creator Studio price in UAE

Apple Creator Studio costs Dhs 49.99 per month in the UAE. For those committed to the ecosystem, an annual plan is available for Dhs 499, which effectively gives you two months free.

Students and educators get a massive discount, paying just Dhs 9.99 per month or Dhs 99 per year. The service launches on Wednesday, 28 January, and will be available directly through the App Store.

If you hate subscriptions, don't worry. Apple confirmed that Mac versions of Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and others remain available as one-time purchases.
