Seedance 2.0 Mini is the low-cost tier of ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 family, released in June 2026. It produces 4-15 second clips at 480p or 720p. The mode is picked from the fields you send: text-to-video, image-to-video from a first frame with an optional last frame, or reference-to-video with 1-9 images, up to 3 clips and 3 audio tracks. Audio generation is optional and off by default, which suits pipelines that add their own sound.

Best for

  • Background loops and B-roll for social posts
  • Motion previews for storyboards
  • Animating product stills at scale
  • Apps that generate many short clips for their users

Prompting tips

  • Sending image_url selects image-to-video; sending image_urls selects reference mode. Do not mix them.
  • Set generate_audio: true if you need sound; it stays off unless you ask.
  • Keep one subject and one action per clip for the cleanest results at 720p.
  • The default ratio is 16:9, so set 9:16 for vertical platforms.
