Seedance 2.0 Mini — Cheap Text, Image & Reference to Video

Seedance 2.0 Mini is the budget tier of ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 video model. One model id auto-routes text to video, image to video, and reference to video based on which inputs your request carries, and Seedance 2.0 Mini generates at 480p or 720p to keep the price low.

Seedance 2.0 Mini pricing is per second, split by resolution (480p or 720p) and whether you supply a reference video. Adding a reference video moves the job to the cheaper tier. See the live rates in the pricing table on this page; failed jobs refund automatically.

Seedance 2.0 Mini is the budget tier: it costs less per second and caps at 720p, while standard Seedance 2.0 reaches higher resolutions. For crisp 1080p or 4K masters, use standard Seedance 2.0; for fast, cheap social and short-form video, Seedance 2.0 Mini is the better fit.

Seedance 2.0 Mini reads the mode from your request: a prompt with no media runs text to video, a first frame (with an optional last frame) runs image to video, and up to nine reference images run reference to video. You can also pass a reference video to guide motion. The prompt is required for text and reference modes, and optional for image to video.

Seedance 2.0 Mini supports 480p and 720p, nine aspect ratios, and any whole-number duration from 4 to 15 seconds (default 5). It does not output 1080p or 4K — that ceiling is what keeps the Mini tier cheap. It can also generate audio for the clip.

Yes. Turn on audio generation and Seedance 2.0 Mini adds a soundtrack to the clip. You can also pass reference audio URLs to steer the sound, the same way you pass reference images to steer the visuals.
