Product showcase videos
Animate a product photo into a short clip and test different camera moves and settings without a new shoot for each.
Seedance 2 Mini keeps native audio and reference-led creation while focusing on efficient 480P and 720P production.
Creative workspace
Seedance 2 Mini is the cost-efficient tier of ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0 family. It keeps text-to-video, image-to-video, multimodal references, and native audio, and limits output to 480P and 720P so each draft costs less.
How the people who built the model describe it:
“Seedance 2.0 Mini is designed for frequent AI video creation: test more ideas, generate more variations, and move from image or prompt to video without using premium-model credits on every try.”
These are the jobs people actually bring to Seedance 2 Mini, and the settings each one needs.
Animate a product photo into a short clip and test different camera moves and settings without a new shoot for each.
Turn one concept into several hooks, angles, and treatments, and let the numbers pick the winner.
Prototype a scene’s composition, motion, and mood cheaply before committing the idea to a full-resolution model.
Seedance 2 Mini
Seedance 2 Mini puts the handful of controls that change the result most in front of you, and keeps the rest out of the way.
01
ByteDance positions Mini for frequent publishing, ad variations, and rapid concept tests — generate more versions before deciding on a direction.
02
The smaller resolution set is where the savings come from. Use it for drafts and social placements; move to Seedance 2.0 for higher-resolution delivery.
03
Sound is generated with the clip, so you judge the idea with its audio instead of adding a track afterwards.
04
Image, video, and audio references work as they do on Seedance 2.0 — up to nine images, three clips, and three audio files per request.
Seedance 2 Mini
Where Seedance 2 Mini is the right call, and where a different model does the job better.
Compared with Seedance 2.0
Faster, narrower 480P/720P delivery range
Compared with H3
Iteration efficiency versus fixed high-resolution output
Best decision signal
Speed and multimodal experimentation matter most
Write the idea and add any source or reference material the tool needs.
Choose the model, format, resolution, and duration that match delivery.
Review the complete draft in the shared conversation flow. Generation will be enabled when the model API is connected.
Compare output length, resolution, references, aspect ratios, and audio support before choosing a model for your next video.
