Apple Updates Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro With These New Features

Ew. You're right, and it's even worse than I thought. They actually changed the name too for Creator Studio.

Logic Pro is a software pillar of the century.

And now its App Store title needs to include a subtitle to preface its subtitle?

Right, I know the app's display name is encoded differently than the name as displayed on the App Store.

The question presumably raised is what this says about the App Store; either the state of the culture around it, or – to my mind, more primarily – how it's designed.

How close is it to fostering Amazon-style ramble-filled product titles?

I noticed the two versions of Logic and Mainstage in the App Store, and would like to know... what happens if I install the Creator Studio version, and not my perpetual-license ones? Won't do it myself, just curious if the ACS version would identify a previous perpetual license, or will it point you to start a demo period. Has someone done it?

EDIT: Just tried it with Pixelmator Pro, since the perpetual license version that shows in my App Store app (and the one I have installed) is still 3.7.1, and the ACS version is v4.0. It prompts you to sign up for the free trial, and won't let you create a new image project if you don't accept said trial, so it doesn't identify any existing perpetual license. I assume the same applies for Logic, Mainstage, FCP, etc. Will they update the perpetual license Pixelmator Pro to v4.0? Who knows...?
Stand-alone iWork apps from ACS have the annoying "Learn more about Creators Studio" up sale in the menu bar when clicking on the app name, template library has a "premium" section, but in general function like the previous version, and you can hide the "premium" tools in the tool bar. No need to subscribe to use them regularly.

Here’s a deeper dive into the new features in Final Cut Pro, Motion and Compressor: https://www.provideocoalition.com/whats-new-in-final-cut-pro-12-and-more/

I also notice that, with this announcement, the Pro Apps Education Bundle is no longer available. That was quite the deal, if you qualified.

If the Logic only subscription on iPad included Logic only subscription for Mac I would do it now. But I am not sure about paying the extra money for the other apps that I won't use. I already subscribe to O365 which came with 1TB of storage per user.

I don’t get it. What are the Final Cut Pro (Mac) features I only get by subscription to creator studio?

I have no idea. To be honest, it doesn't look like anything has really been updated for Mac. Just some basic transcription and search functions.

It is baffling to me that Motion and Compressor are not fully integrated into FCP at this point.

Next up, animated titles to catch up with the rest of the industry. Hopefully it won't take an entire year.

And multi-language support for captions, not just the *one* language of the Mac-UI. And by the way, the speech-to-text quality is awful, on the level of Whisper. Resolve is best so far. What good is a text search - if the underlying text is not correct? But new icons and Liquid glass are a priority, says Ive.

Dear Apple: In case you need a hint how speech-to text supports multi-languages look no further than PremierePro or ResolvePro.
