Maestro v2.0 is out! Its got stuff and things!

Maestro v2.0 is out! & it’s loaded with new features!

Maestro is a free, open, local, unrestricted AI media studio that’s loaded w/ the latest SOTA models & can autonomously gen films & music videos.

A complete create-to-edit workflow

Added the new full-screen Editor Mode with multi-track video, audio, and title editing; 21:9 canvases; canvas transforms and snap guides; transitions, speed, opacity, volume, fonts, undo/redo, project history, and hardware-aware export.
Director productions can be opened as editable timelines with separate shot clips and the complete soundtrack, while any timeline clip can make a round trip through Maestro AI and return as a new take.
Reorganized Studio into clear Video, Image, and Audio workflows. Video editing tools now live beside generation, Image adds dedicated New/Edit/Upscale/Outpaint modes, Audio includes Revoice, and Finish adds reusable film grain.
Added unified long-form planning up to 60 minutes with duration presets, exact timecodes, direct window counts, media/story-aware Auto duration, and Faithful or Creative AI window prompts. Frequently used Studio modes, models, planning choices, and H3 optimizations now survive restarts.

MiniMax H3, references, and local intelligence

Added H3's native 768p tier, 21:9 canvases, and Regenerate 2K workflow, plus Alibaba PAI FL2VA and Ref2VA acceleration presets with native PDD support.
Added optional experimental H3 Fused 4-Step Frames and References models. Both share one pinned INT8 ConvRot checkpoint, default to the published four-evaluation recipe, expose 4-8 Total Steps, and use SLA sparse attention with a safe dense fallback.
Added a reusable Omni character library for named image + voice or video references, automatic reference-duration budgeting, and stronger reference isolation so identity media is not mistaken for a start frame. Exact Subject/Speaker bindings keep each character's face, voice, and dialogue together and reject phantom subjects.
Rebuilt H3 prompt planning around causal story continuity, exact dialogue preservation, official Context-IR guidance, model-aware token fitting, and safer multi-window continuation. Faithful Studio planning now keeps the user's event/dialogue schedule authoritative while the LLM concentrates on cinematography.
Added Qwen3.8 27B Uncensored with creative thinking controls, prompt-enhancement telemetry, and non-thinking structured-output paths.

Remote workflow and release polish

Added completion alerts, optional chimes, encrypted closed-app Web Push, an installable Maestro web app, and optional private HTTPS access through each user's own Tailscale account. Windows restores opted-in Tailscale access after Maestro restarts without repeated approval prompts.
Added per-clip, multi-window, and full Director completion estimates, including cache-aware calibration for First Block Cache and private local timing history for more accurate future estimates.
Expanded gallery details and search across model, resolution, LoRAs, H3 optimizations, prompts, window counts, and generation timing, while making the viewed or playing clip the reliable active Studio target.
Updated Maestro's orange app icon, unified the responsive Director / Studio / Editor header and version display, added Director first-frame thumbnails and full-rate iOS Editor preview playback, simplified the Pinokio menu, and preserved the v1.9.1 llama.cpp nightly-download hotfix.
