PotionUI 0.2.0 is out. Click Update in Pinokio to get it. The Update button now updates the launcher itself too.
This release is about reusing what you already have and building on top of PotionUI. Kits keep sets of pictures, clips, audio and text together so you can drop them into any prompt (in other apps this is also called "Actors" or "Cast", but I didn't want to limit it to video only), and API keys let scripts and tools use your instance with exactly the access you choose.
What's new
- Kits: make a named set of pictures, clips, audio and text in the Library and cite one item in a prompt as
@kits.name.item. Only the items you cite go to the model. Add items straight from History.
- One media picker: History, Library and Kits are tabs of the same picker everywhere, with Small, Medium and Large tiles and a Replace menu on any loaded item.
- Video modes, simplified: MiniMax-H3 Video is now Video Director, with Text to Video, Image to Video and First to Last Frame as single-clip modes. Old sessions still open.
- Perfect loop for MiniMax-H3: give it a picture and what should move, get back a clip whose end flows into its start.
- LTX-2.5 Ingredients: characters and props from your pictures stay consistent in a new video.
- MOSS-Image regional prompting: draw regions on a canvas and describe each one.
- MiniMax-H3-Image is a new model family, with text to image and edit presets that take LoRAs.
- API keys: create keys with their own permissions, choose which MCP tools each can use, and generate from a saved session with a script. There is a new API guide with examples.
- Preset mirrors: admins can rename a preset and make copies that reuse its files with their own name, cover, defaults and modes, plus fixed prompt text that regular users never see.
- Plugin catalogs: install plugins from a catalog right in Admin.
- Queue routing: jobs spread across the backends of an engine, and a busy or silent worker no longer fails them.
Nicer to use
- A rebuilt generation details view: parameters in boxes you copy with a click, section counts, and Library items open in the same view with previous and next.
- Prompt references show as readable thumbnail chips.
- A button on the resolution picker swaps to the mirrored size.
- Quick delete: press Delete on the current generation, or delete a whole collection's entries.
- Tags on models in Admin.
- A six-step setup wizard that no longer fails because a test generation did, and picks up again after a restart.
Community contributions
Big thanks to M4-S4 for a large share of this release:
- Install plugins from a catalog in Admin, and a plugin can no longer end up enabled after a failed install
- Face detection, face vectors and image embeddings for plugins, plus more plugin page and preset tools, and test databases for plugin authors
- RTX Upscale can raise a video's frame rate (2x, 4x or a target rate), and RIFE accepts a target frame rate
- Wan video decoding fits in less memory, and Wan 2.2 5B gets image to video
- MiniMax-H3-Image edits work on cards with less memory, such as 12 GB
- The default 1080p SeedVR2 video upscale fits a 12 GB card
- Effects work again with ffmpeg 8
- The Plugins docs now point to community catalogs
Fixed
- The first generation after a start no longer fails on a half-loaded module.
- Wan 2.2 image to video, and long Wan clips, fit in memory where they ran out.
- Security: setting up the first account behind a proxy now needs the setup token, users can no longer switch their own MCP access back on, and hidden fixed prompt text can no longer leak.
Before you update
Back up your data first. The first start migrates your database and that cannot be undone. Your MCP tokens become API keys that work for MCP only, so create a new key if a script needs the HTTP API. A saved session on the retired Long video mode opens with an offer to convert it to Video Director. You may see harmless "plugin not found" lines for two plugins that no longer exist at startup. The old MCP token routes and the token in a socket URL still work this release but are deprecated, so move your scripts over. Windows is fully supported.
Update
Click Update in Pinokio, start PotionUI and let it finish its first-start migration. Then open Settings and look at API keys.
