Seedance 2.0 Mini supports the same three input routes as the full Seedance 2.0 model — at roughly half the credit cost per second. Switch modes without leaving the page.
Turn prompts into short videos for creative exploration, ad concepts, and fast validation. Mini text-to-video accepts natural-language scene descriptions in English or Chinese, outputs 4–15 second clips at 480p or 720p, and includes synchronized audio at no extra charge. Ideal when you need dozens of hook variants before picking a winner.
Animate a single image as the first frame, or upload two images for first-and-last-frame transitions. Mini image-to-video keeps motion predictable and costs low — perfect for product stills, mascots, and storyboard keyframes that need quick movement tests before a full-quality render on standard Seedance 2.0.
Combine prompt direction with image, video, or audio references for lightweight style and motion tests. Upload reference images and mention @Image1, @Image2 in your prompt. Mini reference-to-video is the fastest way to batch UGC-style variants and spokesperson drafts without burning credits on 1080p or 4K output you may discard.
Seedance 2.0 Mini is ByteDance / BytePlus's cost-optimized video route within the Seedance 2.0 model family. Production APIs expose it as separate model IDs — seedance-2.0-mini-text-to-video, seedance-2.0-mini-image-to-video, and seedance-2.0-mini-reference-to-video — with per-second billing that is significantly lower than the standard Seedance 2.0 path.
Creative teams hit a familiar wall: every prompt experiment on a flagship video model adds up. Seedance 2.0 Mini exists to solve that economics problem without giving up multimodal control. You still get text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video in one family, but output is capped at 480p and 720p so each second costs less. Marketers run A/B hooks at 480p, pick two winners, then re-render at 720p for stakeholder review. Product teams animate pack shots overnight. Social managers batch vertical clips for the week — all on a predictable credit budget.
Technically, Mini mirrors the standard Seedance 2.0 workflow: submit a prompt, choose duration between 4 and 15 seconds, pick 480p or 720p quality, set aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9, or adaptive), and optionally enable native audio. Mini does not support 1080p or 4K — that is intentional. When a concept graduates from draft to deliverable, move the same prompt and references to Seedance 2.0 on our /seedance-2-0 page for higher resolution and broader quality headroom.
Native audio remains included on Mini — synchronized sound effects, ambient beds, and lip-synced speech generate in the same job with no surcharge. Wrap dialogue in double quotes for clearer lip-sync, same as standard Seedance 2.0. That means Mini is not a silent preview mode; you hear timing, pacing, and voice tone while iterating hooks. Disable audio in the studio when you only need a silent motion plate for editing elsewhere.
Reference-to-video on Mini supports image, video, and audio reference material depending on your provider workflow — the same multimodal flexibility teams expect from Seedance 2.0, tuned for speed. Upload up to nine reference images, cite them with @Image tags in your prompt, and steer character look, camera motion, or art direction. For video-reference inputs, billing may include input duration plus output seconds on some API routes; on Seedances, credits are estimated transparently before you click Generate.
On Seedances, Seedance 2.0 Mini powers the embedded studio on this page with Mini pre-selected. Create a free account, add credits, and generate without local GPU setup. Credits scale by model, duration, resolution, and audio settings — Mini's per-second rate is roughly half of standard 2.0 at the same resolution tier. Failed jobs refund automatically. Use Mini for volume; promote winners to Seedance 2.0 or Seedance 2.5 when you need 1080p, 4K, or 30-second native output.

Mini shines wherever volume and cost control matter more than maximum pixel count — drafts, tests, and variants that may never ship at full resolution.
Explore atmospheric lighting, camera verbs, and narrative beats at 480p before committing credits to a final render. Directors and prompt engineers treat Mini as a sketchpad — dozens of generations per session without budget shock.
Produce multiple hooks, CTAs, and spokesperson angles for paid social. Iterate copy and framing at Mini rates, then export the top performers at 720p for client review or upsell to standard Seedance 2.0 for 1080p delivery.
Generate vertical 9:16 clips with conversational tone for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Reference images keep wardrobe consistent when you batch ten hooks from one photoshoot's stills — all at predictable Mini pricing.
Turn catalog photography into hologram-style product shots, UI concept motion, and tabletop reveals. Image-to-video treats your pack shot as the first frame so labels stay sharp while you validate look and motion cheaply.
