AI assistance across productivity apps
In Pages, the new assistant can draft, reorganize and revise writing. In Numbers, it can calculate, visualize and organize data, as well as suggest charts and build custom tables. Keynote users can ask it to design, animate and refine slides using the context of a presentation, according to The Verge.
The Verge says the productivity assistant uses AI models from both Apple and OpenAI. It also reports that Pages, Keynote and Numbers will support the Model Context Protocol on macOS 27 or later, allowing third-party AI agents to connect to the apps.
Logic Pro is gaining an assistant that can work on existing projects and set up a vocal track from a prompt. Engadget reports that it can also start new songs and generate vocal tracks from text instructions. Separately, The Verge says Logic Pro’s redesigned Browser on Mac will use on-device AI to analyze, classify and tag sounds added to it.
New tools for video and image editing
Final Cut Pro is adding MotionVFX tools within the app, including graphics, themes, titles and transitions. Engadget also reports specialized rotoscoping and color-grading tools. Both outlets describe a Content Hub with stock video, photos and backgrounds for use in projects. According to Engadget, Apple acquired MotionVFX earlier this year.
Engadget says editors will be able to move clips away from Final Cut Pro’s primary timeline and place them elsewhere. They can also open an image from a Final Cut Pro timeline in Pixelmator Pro, make changes and see those changes reflected in the original project without reimporting the image. Final Cut Pro is gaining more keyframe easing options, while Logic Pro’s Stem Splitter will be able to isolate or replace drum parts, Engadget reports.
Pixelmator Pro is adding a tool for editing a selected part of an image through a written description. The Verge identifies it as Generate Fill and says Apple claims the result will match the surrounding image’s lighting, perspective and texture.
Availability and requirements
The productivity assistant is rolling out in beta on Apple Intelligence-compatible devices running iOS 27, iPadOS 27 or macOS 27 or later, according to The Verge. Engadget says the beta Logic Pro assistant on Mac requires an Apple Intelligence-supported Mac running macOS 27 Golden Gate or later. It also reports that some Final Cut Pro features require Apple silicon, and that its Creator Studio version requires macOS 26.6 or later.
Engadget lists Creator Studio at $13 per month or $129 per year, with a one-month trial for new subscribers. It says Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro and Pixelmator Pro remain available as individual purchases.
