Yeah, you know.

So, okay, Apple introduces the Creator Studio Suite, which is not anything new as far as the apps you use, but it is bundling a bunch of Apple's apps into one thing that you pay a subscription for, specifically $13 a month or about $130 a year.

And it comes with a bunch of apps that are pretty expensive as standalone apps, which is cool.

I remember I paid, I think, $400 or so for Final Cut Pro like a decade ago.

And I've gotten all of the updates since then.

I've never paid more than once.

It's on every single one of my Macs.

It's $300.

For me, that's an incredible deal for me for how much I use Final Cut Pro, right?

So if you use a bunch of these apps, then it's maybe a good deal or something to consider.

The other interesting thing about this, the more you look into it, and I had to clarify some of this with Apple and by reading the press releases, there will be some features like AI features or like premium content built into some of the subscription versions of the apps that are not in the standalone versions of the apps, specifically the productivity apps.

uh not the creative apps we'll get this this like premium content or ai stuff yeah keynote pages and freeform are going to get apple intelligence features that are that are specific to creator studio yeah so i was curious about like final cut pro because they announced a couple new things like beat matching cuts or like being able to search through an automatically transcribed video to go to a certain place on your timeline stuff like that all of that stuff is coming to both the subscription version and the standalone version

So I was like, okay, are you going to make me switch to a subscription for Final Cut, even though I've been getting all the features for the last decade?

Currently, the answer is no.

It's going to be on both versions.

So I'm giving Apple the credit now because if, you know, you see a lot of companies go, all right, it's a subscription.

Adobe.

Well, you basically don't own the software.

You constantly have to pay for it.

And Apple has had a pretty rare thing for a long time with apps like Final Cut Pro where you buy it once, it's on all your computers, infinite updates forever.
