Seedance 2.0 Mini AI Video Generator
Fast, Affordable AI Video with Native Audio — Three Ways to Create
Seedance 2.0 Mini is ByteDance's faster, lower-cost video model. Turn a text prompt, a single image, or a set of reference images and clips into a polished video with synchronized audio — sound effects, ambience, and lip-synced speech — generated at no extra cost. Choose 480p for speed or 720p for balance, set durations from 4 to 15 seconds, and pick from seven aspect ratios including adaptive.
Built as the speed- and cost-optimized variant of Seedance 2.0, Mini keeps the things that matter — cinematic motion, native audio, and flexible inputs — while running faster and cheaper. Image-to-video animates a starting frame and can interpolate to an optional end frame for controlled transitions. Reference-to-video accepts up to nine reference images (cite them as @Image1, @Image2 in your prompt), up to three reference videos, and up to three reference audio tracks, so you can carry characters, styles, motion, and sound across generations. There's no subscription — you pay only for what you generate.
How to Use Seedance 2.0 Mini
Step 1: Pick Your Mode
Choose Text to generate from a prompt, Image to animate a photo (with an optional end frame), or Reference to guide the video with up to 9 images plus reference video and audio.
Step 2: Write Your Prompt & Settings
Describe the motion and scene, then set resolution (480p/720p), duration (4–15s or Auto), aspect ratio, and whether to generate synchronized audio.
Step 3: Generate and Download
Click generate and let Seedance 2.0 Mini render your video with native audio. Preview it in the browser and download the MP4 when it's ready.

Seedance 2.0 Mini FAQ
What is Seedance 2.0 Mini?
Seedance 2.0 Mini is ByteDance's faster, lower-cost version of Seedance 2.0. It generates videos from text, a single image, or reference media, with native synchronized audio at 480p or 720p and durations from 4 to 15 seconds.
How is Mini different from Seedance 2.0?
Mini is optimized for speed and cost. It keeps cinematic motion and native audio with three input modes, but runs faster and cheaper — ideal for rapid iteration and high-volume content.
What input modes does it support?
Three: text-to-video (generate from a prompt), image-to-video (animate a starting frame with an optional end frame), and reference-to-video (guide the result with up to 9 reference images plus up to 3 reference videos and 3 reference audio tracks).
Does it generate audio?
Yes. Synchronized audio — including sound effects, ambience, and lip-synced speech — is generated by default at no extra cost. You can turn it off if you only need video.
What resolutions, durations, and aspect ratios are available?
Resolutions are 480p (fastest) and 720p. Durations run from 4 to 15 seconds, or Auto. Aspect ratios include 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, and Auto.
How does pricing work?
There's no subscription — you pay per generation with credits. Cost scales with resolution and duration, so shorter 480p clips cost less than longer 720p videos.
