Create faster, lower-cost videos with Seedance 2.0 Mini
Turn prompts, first and last frames, or several reference images into short videos. This Mini page is tuned for efficient 480p and 720p drafts; use the separate Seedance 2.
Test several hooks, camera moves, or pacing ideas before committing budget to a higher-resolution version.
Generate compact drafts to compare subject motion, shot structure, and reference consistency during early review.
Work with 480p or 720p, 4–15 second clips, and six common aspect ratios without unrelated editing controls.
One compact model for three practical starting points
Choose the input that matches the material you already have, then describe motion, camera behavior, and the intended ending.
Text to video
Start from a written shot brief when you need a fresh scene, motion study, or social concept without source imagery.
First and last frames
Use one or two images to define the opening frame and, when needed, the closing composition for a more directed transition.
Multi-image references
Guide subject identity, props, palette, or visual style with up to nine reference images and a clear prompt.
Why choose the Mini model
Seedance 2.0 Mini prioritizes quick iteration and lower generation cost while retaining the core prompt and image-reference workflows.
Seedance 2.0 Mini controls
The locked generator exposes only the inputs and output settings supported by this page.
480p and 720p output
Use 480p for the cheapest motion checks or 720p when the draft needs more visible detail.
4 to 15 second clips
Choose the shortest duration that can show the intended action, transition, and ending.
Six framing options
Create in 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, or 21:9 for landscape, square, portrait, and cinematic placements.
Up to nine reference images
Use a larger reference set for identity or style direction, while first/last-frame mode accepts up to two images.
Image-led modes stay separate
First/last-frame generation and multi-reference generation are separate modes, so choose one image workflow for each task.
How to generate a useful first draft
A compact motion brief produces more useful comparisons than a one-line visual theme.
Choose one input mode
Start with text, first/last frames, or multi-image references according to the control you need most.
Describe action over time
Write what moves, how the camera moves, what should stay consistent, and how the shot ends.
Pick format and duration
Match the aspect ratio to the destination and keep early tests short enough to compare quickly.
Review one variable at a time
Compare motion, subject consistency, framing, or pacing before changing the whole prompt and every setting.
Good uses for fast video drafts
Use Mini where iteration speed and cost matter more than final delivery resolution.
Product and ad concepts
Animate a product shot, reveal, or campaign hook before a team invests in final production.
Social clips and storyboards
Test vertical and landscape sequences for short-form posts, pitch decks, and previsualization.
Character and style checks
Use reference images to assess identity, wardrobe, palette, props, and broad motion direction across a short clip.
