Seedance 2.0 Mini
ByteDance's lightweight Seedance 2.0 tier — about 2× faster than Seedance 2.0 Fast and roughly half the cost, generating 12-second clips up to 1080p with quality kept close.
What is Seedance 2.0 Mini?
Seedance 2.0 Mini is the streamlined, lower-cost tier of ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 video family. It runs about 2× faster than Seedance 2.0 Fast at roughly half the price, generates clips of up to 12 seconds at up to 1080p, and keeps text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-based controls — with up to 9 multimodal references — so you get most of the Seedance 2.0 quality at a fraction of the time and budget.
About 2× faster, half the cost
Seedance 2.0 Mini renders about 2× faster than Seedance 2.0 Fast at roughly half the cost — so you can iterate on prompts, try more variations, and ship more clips on the same budget, with quality kept close to the standard model.
Guide every shot with references
Seedance 2.0 Mini keeps the family's multimodal reference system — up to 9 references — so characters, style, and composition stay consistent across outputs.
Up to 9 multimodal references
Feed Seedance 2.0 Mini images, video clips, and audio — as many as 9 reference inputs at once — to lock characters, style, and composition across the whole shot.
Direct the camera
Call the shot — pan, zoom, orbit, or tracking move — and Seedance 2.0 Mini follows it cleanly. The motion serves your story instead of wandering, even at the faster, lower-cost tier.
Up to 1080p, ready to post
Export crisp, share-ready video at up to 1080p — product teasers, story openers, and loopable B-roll that look great in the feed without the cost or wait of a full-size render.
Consistent characters across scenes
Feed a character or product image and Seedance 2.0 Mini keeps it recognizable from clip to clip — with up to 9 references and repeated identity cues in your prompt, the same face, mascot, or product carries through a whole set of shots.
Export-ready MP4 workflow
Generate, preview, refine, and export an MP4 you can post or drop straight into an editor — a practical one-path workflow from prompt to finished clip, no render farm or timeline required.
