Apple introduces Creator Studio, bundling pro creative apps into one subscription

By TechWatch PH Staff

Apple has introduced Apple Creator Studio, a new subscription that brings together its professional creative tools into a single suite aimed at video editors, musicians, designers, and storytellers working across platforms.

Unveiled through Apple’s newsroom, Creator Studio bundles key creative apps while also bringing premium content and intelligent features to Apple’s productivity apps.

The bundle reflects Apple’s push to support modern creators whose workflows increasingly span video, audio, design, and presentation in one continuous process.

Creator Studio will be available starting January 29 via the App Store. In the Philippines, the subscription is priced at ₱399 per month or ₱3,990 per year, with a one-month free trial.

Apple is also offering a discounted plan for students and educators at ₱149 per month or ₱1,490 annually, making its professional tools more accessible to emerging creators.

The company highlighted several intelligence-driven features across the suite. Final Cut Pro adds tools such as transcript-based search and beat detection that automatically aligns edits with music.

Logic Pro introduces new tools like Synth Player and Chord ID to assist musicians during the creative process. Pixelmator Pro, meanwhile, expands to iPad with Apple Pencil support, optimized for touch-based workflows without compromising performance.

Beyond creative software, Apple is also enhancing Keynote, Pages, and Numbers with premium content and smarter capabilities under the Creator Studio subscription, while the apps themselves remain free to use.

Freeform is also set to gain premium features as part of the bundle later this year.

Apple said the new offering is designed to give creators flexibility while keeping the option to purchase apps individually for users who prefer one-time licenses. By packaging its tools together, the company positions Creator Studio as an end-to-end environment for ideation, production, and publishing across Apple devices.

“Apple Creator Studio is a great value that enables creators of all types to pursue their craft and grow their skills by providing easy access to the most powerful and intuitive tools for video editing, music making, creative imaging, and visual productivity — all leveled up with advanced intelligent tools to augment and accelerate workflows,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. “There’s never been a more flexible and accessible way to get started with such a powerful collection of creative apps for professionals, emerging artists, entrepreneurs, students, and educators to do their best work and explore their creative interests from start to finish.”
