Seedance 2.0 Mini is ByteDance's faster, lower-cost Seedance 2.0 option for text-to-video and image-to-video. In VidGen, start from text, a first frame, exact first and last frames, or up to nine reference images, then describe camera moves directly in the prompt. Output is available in 480p or 720p for 4–15 seconds, with optional generated audio and web search for text-to-video requests.

Seedance 2.0 Mini Features in VidGen
Faster, Lower-Cost Mini Tier
ByteDance's Dreamina positions Mini as a faster and more affordable Seedance 2.0 option, while VidGen keeps it separate from the standard model.
Four Ways to Start
Generate from text, a first frame, first and last frames, or as many as nine reference images.
Exact First and Last Frames
Use the first-and-last-frame mode when both endpoints must match specified images; use reference images when visual guidance matters more than exact endpoints.
Prompt-Directed Camera Motion
Describe pans, tracking shots, low angles, tilts, or focus shifts in the prompt to guide the model's documented dynamic-camera capability.
Flexible Short-Form Output
Choose 480p or 720p, any whole-second duration from 4 to 15 seconds, and 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 21:9, or adaptive framing.
Optional Audio and Web Search
Turn generated audio on or off. Web search is available only for text-to-video requests.
How to Use Seedance 2.0 Mini
Step 1
Choose Text to Video or Image to Video
Use text to video for a prompt-only request. Use image to video for a first frame, first and last frames, or reference images.
Step 2
Enter the Prompt and Images
Describe the subject, action, setting, and camera direction. If you use images, select one supported image mode instead of combining modes.
Step 3
Set the Output and Generate
Choose 480p or 720p, a 4–15 second duration, an aspect ratio, and whether to generate audio, then submit the video.
Seedance 2.0 Mini Questions
What is Seedance 2.0 Mini?
Seedance 2.0 Mini is a ByteDance AI video model. In VidGen, it is offered for text-to-video and image-to-video generation through the bytedance/seedance-2-mini model endpoint.
How is Seedance 2.0 Mini different from Seedance 2.0?
ByteDance's Dreamina describes Mini as a faster, lower-cost Seedance 2.0 option. VidGen lists Mini separately from the standard Seedance 2 model, and the settings documented on this page apply specifically to Mini.
Which image-to-video inputs does Seedance 2.0 Mini support?
Use a first frame to anchor the opening, first and last frames when both endpoints must strictly match specified images, or reference images to guide appearance without fixing exact endpoints. These three modes cannot be combined in one request.
Can I control camera movement in Seedance 2.0 Mini?
Yes. The provider documents dynamic camera movement. In VidGen, describe moves such as pans, tracking shots, tilts, low angles, or rack focus directly in the prompt. The result remains generative rather than a deterministic camera path.
What duration and resolution does Seedance 2.0 Mini support?
VidGen supports 4 through 15 seconds at 480p or 720p. Available aspect ratios are 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 21:9, and adaptive.
Can Seedance 2.0 Mini generate audio?
Yes. Audio generation is an optional setting, so you can request a video with generated audio or turn the option off.
Does Seedance 2.0 Mini support web search?
Yes, but the provider documents web search for text-to-video requests only. VidGen exposes the same restriction.
Can I upload reference videos or reference audio in VidGen?
Not in the current VidGen Mini form. The provider API documents video and audio references, but VidGen currently exposes text, frame images, reference images, and optional generated audio for this model.
