Question about Apple Creator Studio

Apple reps did an interview to clear up the misinformation.

Here's clarification from the horse's own mouth.

And remember, "content" and "features/tools" are not the same thing.

Yes.

According to Apple:

Alternatively, users can also choose to purchase the Mac versions of Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Logic Pro, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage individually as a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store.

All the best! 👋🏼😉

Well, I guess we will see whether Apple will keep those promises. Years ago, not having this subscription sh#%, triggered me to go away from Adobe. We were absolutely happy with the functionality and the options Pixelmator offered on the iPad. Now I would have to get the subscription, if my kids wand to continue painting on their iPads 🤬

The a huge disappointment. Honestly, do are the product managers in those companies, including Apple, even consider how many money one would have to spend for those subscriptions? I reckon only a few families are able to make this. Subscriptions for professionals, earning their money with the work results coming out of the use of the software might be a different discussion. However also small and mid-size companies have to keep their budgets. So strategies to do that by not doing every update or switch to a new version does not work any more.

For me, this is going downhill...

I am not a fan of subscriptions, and I have bought Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor and Pixelmator many years ago. Considering what I paid and the time they have been in use, I am much better off with the purchased items.

But it is a bit like leasing or buying a car, it depends on how long you use the stuff. As far as subscriptions go, this one is pretty affordable, given what it offers (several great apps, both Mac and iPad, and family sharing).

And all that for about half what Adobe Premiere alone would cost.
