Apple Creator Studio and Final Cut Camera Get New Features

Apple today updated Apple Creator Studio and Final Cut Camera for iOS to add new features. Final Cut Camera, Apple's professional iPhone filming app, now supports the variable aperture feature on the iPhone 18 Pro. Users can tweak aperture and select between aperture priority and shutter priority modes, plus there's support for Cinematic mode effects for video. Apple says the app was also redesigned from the ground up to give creators easy access to pro settings like shutter angle, ISO, and white balance. There are customizable overlays with false color and clipping indicators for exposure and improved focus peaking with sensitivity control. A tally light activates when recording is happening, and there's a two-finger tap gesture for clearing the viewfinder to focus on the shot. Other new features include support for professional video scopes, clean SDI out, and genlock offset. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote all have new templates and themes to choose from, along with better tools for collaboration. Keynote supports intelligent slide generation and Numbers has trigonometry, statistics, and logic functions for solving complex problems in a spreadsheet. Pages for Mac has a Screen View that optimizes content for reading and writing. Pixelmator Pro for iPad has new template collections on Mac and ‌iPad‌ for launching ideas, businesses, or products. There's a Podcasts category with cover artwork options. The ‌iPad‌ app also adopts Select and Mask from the Mac app for precise mask and selection refinements. Final Cut Pro and Motion on Mac have a new option to add Cinematic mode effects to video captured on the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌, so users can adjust focus points and depth of field in the Final Cut Pro timeline. Compressor supports converting video with Cinematic mode effects back into the previous Cinematic mode format, and it has new HEVC and MPEG–4 export presets. Freeform includes automatic Dark Mode support for boards, folders for better organization, and support for Writing Tools. With Writing Tools, Apple Intelligence is able to rewrite, proofread, and summarize handwritten notes. In visionOS 27, the Vision Pro version of Freeform lets users pull multiple items from a board into their space, with multiple users able to view 3D models together as a group. All of the updates are available today. Apple Creator Studio is priced at $12.99 per month and it gives access to all of Apple's creative apps like Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and Pixelmator Pro. In free apps like Numbers, Pages, and Keynote, it adds premium features that are not available in the free apps.
