Maestro Update: Local Video Character Recast Animation
cocktailpeanut · x · 2026-07-18
A quoted post introduces the Maestro v1.3.0 update, featuring SCAIL-2 character animation that runs locally for free.
The core new capabilities include:
- Recast: Replace anyone in a video with your own character. Users just provide a video clip, specify the person to replace, and provide a character image to auto-generate the result.
- SCAIL-2 Fast: The bundled distilled version requires only 6 steps with no CFG, making it about 13x faster than the original while maintaining good quality.
- A new "gallery trick": you can drag to the most suitable frame in any video and send it directly as a reference image for image generation.
The project is free, runs locally, and is open source, with one-click installation via Pinokio.
