Seedance 2.0 Mini Features
The low-cost lane of the Seedance 2.0 series, wired for iteration speed.
Drafts at the lowest credit tier
A 5-second 480p run costs 19 credits, and a 4-second test starts at 16 credits. Cheap enough to test many prompt directions.
Try a 5s draftPrompt or frame input
Start from text alone, or anchor the first frame, or the first and last frames, so the output stays close to your material.
Toggle native audioShort clips, six aspect ratios
Generate 4 to 15 second clips in 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 1:1, or 21:9 from one page.
Test image-to-videoNative audio by default
Audio is generated with the clip, and you can switch it off when you only want to judge motion.

How to Use Seedance 2.0 Mini
Write a short prompt, pick duration and resolution, add a start frame if you have one, then generate and judge the draft.
Write the prompt
Name the subject, one action, and one camera move. Short prompts are enough for draft checks.
Set duration and resolution
Clips run 4 to 15 seconds at 480p or 720p. The workbench shows the credit cost before you generate.
Add frames if you have them
For image-to-video, upload a start frame, or a start and end frame pair, and describe the motion between them.
Generate and review
Check motion and framing first. If the draft reads well, regenerate the winning prompt at 720p or move it to a higher tier.

FAQ
Seedance 2.0 Mini FAQ
What this page exposes, how billing works, and when to move to another tier.
- What is Seedance 2.0 Mini?
- Seedance 2.0 Mini is ByteDance's lightweight tier of the Seedance 2.0 video series, built for fast, low-cost generation. On this page it covers text-to-video and image-to-video with first or first-and-last frame control.
- Is Seedance 2.0 Mini free to use?
- No. Seedance 2.0 Mini runs on credits. Longer clips and 720p resolution use more credits, and the workbench shows the exact amount before you generate. One-time credit packs start low, and the first one is half price.
- What resolutions does this page expose?
- 480p and 720p. 480p is the draft lane at 19 credits for a 5-second run; 720p costs 41 credits for the same length.
- How long can a clip be?
- From 4 to 15 seconds per generation. Credits scale with duration, so a 15-second 480p clip costs 57 credits.
- Does it support image-to-video?
- Yes. Upload a start frame to anchor the first frame, or a start and end frame pair, and describe the motion between them.
- Mini or standard Seedance 2.0: when do I switch?
- Use Mini while you are testing directions and short social drafts. Switch to standard Seedance 2.0 when a clip needs 1080p output or final-render polish.
- Does it generate audio?
- Yes, audio is generated with the clip by default. You can switch it off in the advanced settings while you compare motion.
- What does web search do?
- In text-to-video, web search lets the model ground the prompt in current web context before generating. Keep it off for invented scenes.
