Maestro Repaint

Mastro Outpaint

Maestro is a free, open-source creative studio that lets you easily generate videos, images, music, voices, & sound effects on your own computer using the latest open SOTA models. Director mode can take a song or story idea, plan the scenes, generate the visuals and video clips, and assemble them into a complete music video or short film. V1.5.0 includes these updates: SCAIL-2 Recast and multi-character replacement: • Rebuilt Recast around SCAIL-2's native replacement conditioning for substantially stronger identity transfer and motion tracking. • Added color-mapped character cards for replacing up to five people in one run. • Added camera-shot detection and per-shot processing so characters remain correctly mapped when a video cuts between close-ups, wide shots, and group shots. • Improved two-person and multi-person shots by conditioning each shot only on the characters visible in it. • Added automatic reacquisition when a person first appears later, leaves the frame, or returns after a camera cut. • Other people in the scene are now preserved automatically when bystanders are detected. • References are automatically isolated from their backgrounds, aligned to the target, and supplemented with a face-detail view when useful. SCAIL-2 Repaint: •Added Repaint as a first-class Edit mode for changing characters, objects, or the visual treatment of a video while retaining its motion and camera path. • Repaint detects camera cuts, processes each shot independently, and rejoins the exact source timeline with one continuous audio track. • Added multi-region and multi-character mapping with stable colors across shots. • Wired inference steps and applicable guidance controls to the generation pipeline while hiding advanced settings SCAIL-2 does not use. • Simplified the Repaint and Recast interfaces, moved detailed guidance into tooltips, and ordered Edit modes as Retake, Edit Anything, Outpaint, Repaint, and Recast. LTX-2.3 Outpaint and Retake: • Rebuilt Outpaint around LTX-2.3's official In/Outpainting IC-LoRA workflow with mask-preserving source conditioning. • Added shot-aware Outpaint: multi-scene videos are split at camera cuts, processed independently, and reassembled at the exact original frame count with the source audio restored. • Improved seams, detail, color-temperature matching, and removal of green/yellow marker spill without grading the protected source region. • Source pixels remain protected while the full source frame stays available as visual context for newly generated areas. • Output canvas dimensions now follow the selected quality preset and display the actual aligned pixel size before generation. • Fixed Outpaint ignoring visible inference-step settings, using invalid schedules, or failing immediately on supported LTX models. • Fixed Retake failing on LTX-2.3 distilled and two-stage pipelines. Krea 2 image generation and editing: • Added Krea 2 RAW Identity Edit and Krea 2 Turbo Identity Edit using the current Krea 2 vision-conditioning pipeline and Identity Edit v1.2 LoRA. • Added identity-preserving instruction edits, inpainting, outpainting, background removal, and support for up to two total reference images. • Added automatic Qwen3-VL vision-encoder provisioning and accurate installed/readiness checks. Added compatibility with current Diffusers, Kohya, and GGUF Krea 2 weight formats. • Added a dedicated Krea 2 filter to the CivitAI browser and My LoRAs view, with downloads routed to the correct Krea 2 library. • Krea 2 RAW, Turbo, RAW Identity Edit, and Turbo Identity Edit are now enabled by default in Image mode for new and existing installations. Studio, models, and control video: • Enabled-model choices now persist server-side across Maestro restarts and changing Pinokio ports. •Newly downloaded CivitAI checkpoints appear in model selectors immediately without restarting Maestro. • Control video and audio behavior are now independent in Frames mode: keep source audio, generate audio from the prompt, or use an uploaded soundtrack. • Missing Temporal Depth assets for LTX control-video workflows are downloaded with progress, resume support, hash verification, and atomic installation. • Voice Reference is now a standard feature, enabled by default and no longer hidden behind the in-development feature switch. • Cleaned up Recast and Repaint Advanced Settings so only controls used by the selected SCAIL-2 pipeline are shown. Reliability and fixes: • Director no longer creates a duplicate combined file when a run contains only one finished clip. • Fixed SCAIL-2 relighting and user LoRAs failing validation when stale multi-phase weights were present. • Fixed installed Maestro apps being hidden or blocked by an early Pinokio NVIDIA detection failure. • Added broad regression coverage for SCAIL-2, Repaint, Outpaint, Retake, model visibility, temporal-depth downloads, and Krea 2 editing.

Install Maestro via @cocktailpeanut's Pinokio Launcher. Maestro has been installed 16K times since it launched 3 weeks ago!

Also, for those asking, YES, I'm working on MiniMax H3 integration. Stay tuned!!

MiniMax H3 support!

open source creativity just leveled up

Nice! Gonna add H3 support?

Yes! Highest priority! 🔥

Great to hear! Had Codex incorporate it a bit but would love an official Maestro update to make it smooth. Especially for 3090 muppets like me.

alright bro, you got me, gonna have to give this a try tonight 😄

Very cool

I wanna vote for that man.

lol this is not local. you need a datacenter for this

aaaah !

When Mac compatible? 🥹

Impressive work 👏

The open source community is cooking with this update, gotta try it out.

looks so real to me

Is this Truely completely free? No Api keys needed? 100% local generation? I am tired of seeing uploaders claim free & you need API keys to run them.

Yes. There’s one optional API key but it is also free. It’s so you can download loras from civitai from within the app (their requirement).

Crack. Me. Up. 😆

stared! good work, will check this one!

Perfect promo video! 😂 This is really so cool, congrats!

Dayum😂

How fast can I generate the video to video ? Rtx 2070 super

mannn

Keep growing brotha

Is it free of copyright guardrails? For exemple can I recast with Elsa from frozen some Kpop demon hunter scenes?

cool

whoa this recast looks better than higgsfield's

Github source of maestro?

That recast blend looks seamless, free and open source makes it even better

Either someone has an Asian chick fetish or a dude dancing like a girl when they doing these AI demos...

outpaint improvements are always the least glamorous release note and the one that changes daily use the most. shipping this free while the paid tools gate the same features is a real choice, respect for sticking with it.

LOL

Maestro update scene looking like Photoshop just rage‑installed Hogwarts DLC

Nice job - many bugs with H3 there - I'm seeing that the repo hasn't been updated in 3~4 days. Will you be fixing the issues, or is it a little more complicated that it's vibed?

Neat. Where? Where can I find this Maestro?
