Open Final Cut Pro, click Continue, then follow any onscreen instructions.
Click Accept Free Trial (or another available option), then follow the onscreen instructions to subscribe using your Apple Account.

Cancel or change your Apple Creator Studio subscription
Open Final Cut Pro, then choose Final Cut Pro > Manage Subscriptions.
The App Store opens, displaying your subscriptions.
Note: If you don’t see your subscriptions, make sure you’re signed in to your Apple Account in the App Store.
In the Subscriptions list, click Apple Creator Studio, then do any of the following:
Modify your subscription plan: Click a different subscription option, then follow the onscreen instructions.
Cancel your subscription or free trial: Click Cancel Subscription to end your free trial or paid subscription, then follow the onscreen instructions.

Use the subscription apps and one-time-purchase apps on the same Mac
Final Cut Pro and several other Apple Creator Studio apps are also available individually as one-time purchases. Both the one-time-purchase apps and the Apple Creator Studio subscription apps can be installed on the same Mac, and you can edit your projects in either app version.
For the best experience, subscribe to Apple Creator Studio using the same Apple Account you use for iCloud. Some Apple Creator Studio apps sync projects, documents, and content between devices using iCloud.
