Apple to Launch ‘Creator Studio’ Bundle Including Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro, Priced at $13/Month

Apple is pulling together 10 different creative apps into a single bundle for the first time — making them available for one monthly subscription price.

The tech giant announced Apple Creator Studio, which it touted as “designed to put studio-grade power into the hands of everyone.” Apple Creator Studio will be available beginning Wednesday, Jan. 28, priced at $12.99 per month or $129 per year (with a one-month free trial).

The suite includes access to video editor Final Cut Pro; music and audio editor Logic Pro and image editor Pixelmator Pro on Mac and iPad. In addition, the Creator Studio includes motion graphics tool Motion, media compression and encoding app Compressor and MainStage (live-performance companion app for Logic Pro ) on Mac.

Bundle subscribers also will have access to “intelligent features and premium content” for Keynote, Pages, Numbers and (at a later date) Freeform, which are apps that are included for free with iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

According to Apple, Final Cut Pro will introduce new video editing tools and intelligent features for Mac and iPad to “improve the efficiency of even the most complex workflows.” With the Creator Studio bundle, for the first time, Pixelmator Pro is coming to iPad that is optimized for touch and Apple Pencil. Logic Pro is adding intelligent features like Synth Player and Chord ID to “inspire anyone to write, produce and mix a range of popular music,” the company said.

“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 VP of internet software and services, in a statement.

Apple is offering special discounted pricing for college students and educators for the Creator Studio at $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year. Up to six family members can share all of the apps and content included in Apple Creator Studio.

The company will continue to sell one-time-purchase versions of Final Cut Pro ($299.99), Logic Pro ($199.99), Pixelmator Pro ($49.99), Motion ($49.99), Compressor ($49.99) and MainStage ($29.99) are available on the Mac App Store. Apple said it will continue to bundle free versions of Keynote, Pages, Numbers and Freeform with every iPhone, iPad and Mac.
