If you make videos, edit photos, or produce music on your Mac, Apple has some good news for you. The company has announced a major update to Apple Creator Studio, packed with new effects and smarter tools. It will arrive on the App Store in November as a free update for existing subscribers.
How does it make video editing easier?
Final Cut Pro for Mac now has MotionVFX built right in, giving you a massive library of titles, transitions, and color grading tools. If you need a quick filler shot, you can grab stock footage from Apple’s Content Hub without leaving your edit.
My favorite addition is the Pixelmator Pro integration. If an image on your timeline needs a touch-up, you can send it to Pixelmator Pro, and your edits will show up in your project on their own. You can also generate images by typing a description and add captions in 23 more languages.
Editing photos is now as easy as describing them
Pixelmator Pro’s new Generate Fill tool lets you change any part of a photo by telling the app what you want. You draw a rough circle around the area you want to edit and describe what should go there.
It keeps the lighting, angles, and textures consistent with the rest of the image, and you can place the result on its own layer to keep refining it.
What’s in it for music creators?
Logic Pro for Mac gets a fresh Liquid Glass look and a new intelligent assistant in beta. Just type what you need, and it can get a new song started or prep your vocal recording for you. The Stem Splitter can now pull drums out of a finished song, which is great news for anyone who loves remixing.
Finding sounds is easier too. The redesigned Browser gathers your loops, instruments, and Splice library into a single spot, and Logic Pro tags everything you add so you can search for it later. Salsa fans should also check out the new Producer Pack from 20-time Grammy winner Sergio George.
Productivity apps aren’t left out either. Keynote, Pages, and Numbers get their own assistants, which can help you build better slides, reshape your writing, and choose a chart that suits your data. Whether you are cutting a vlog or making your first beat, this update gives you a lot more creative power for free.
