Maestro v1.5.0 is out! - Rebuilt Recast & Added Repaint (SCAIL-2), Major LTX Outpaint Improvements, Krea 2 image edit & more!

v1.5.0 (2026-08-02)

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.
• Added optional lighting and shadow matching using Z.ai's official SCAIL-2 Relighting LoRA, downloaded, verified, and converted automatically on first use.
• Added 480p, 512p, and 704p quality profiles with VRAM-aware window sizing; model steps remain independently adjustable.
• Fixed reference-image backgrounds, white bars, halos, false gray scenes, blurry identity starts, and reference stills appearing at the beginning of output videos.
• Fixed mismatched reference and control-video aspect ratios causing tensor errors or allowing the character image to control the output canvas.

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.
• Repaint now shares Recast's 480p, 512p, and 704p resolution profiles and adaptive VRAM windows.
• 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.
