Vlo v0.2.0 is a free, open-source video editor that brings ComfyUI-powered generative AI directly into a timeline-based editing workspace. This new alpha release adds capabilities like mask algebra, draggable motion paths, and audio waveform visualization, making it easier to refine AI generations without leaving the editor. It supports inpainting, correction, and creative effects while bridging the gap between models such as Wan and LTX, automatically handling technical mismatches like differing aspect ratios.

PxTicks, the solo developer, built Vlo to prioritize creative control and flexibility over one-click automation. The tool is designed for users who want to salvage and perfect almost-there generations rather than churn out large volumes of content. In the long run, the developer hopes it will grow into a tool that benefits anyone who wants to make videos, not just AI enthusiasts.

What’s new in v0.2.0

Key Features

SAM2 points editor and video masking.
ComfyUI bridge for image and video sending.
Automatic aspect ratio adjustment for video models.
Keyframes and spline editor for all transformations.
Snappable markers and beat detection for audio.
Mask algebra for creating complex edge masks.
Draggable motion paths for precise animation control.
Asset groups and favourites for organisation.

Local AI enthusiasts and prosumer GPU owners can use vlo to apply generative effects without relying on cloud services. Small agencies and privacy-conscious professionals benefit from running the tool entirely on their own hardware. The layered editing system and manual controls appeal to users who need more than a prompt-based generator, offering a way to fix, upscale, and interpolate footage with surgical precision.

Developer notes

Vlo is in early alpha, and the developer warns that bugginess is still present alongside its growing feature set. The tool currently only works in Chromium-based browsers like Chrome or Edge due to its reliance on the File System Access API and WebCodecs for smooth local file handling. Future development aims to expand its usefulness to non-AI video editing workflows, making it a more general-purpose tool over time.
