Compared to the Standard tier, Mini delivers roughly half the cost and significantly faster turnaround — making it ideal for high-volume content production and rapid creative testing.
The live generator is coming soon. In the meantime, this page covers exactly where Seedance 2.0 Mini fits in your workflow, what it can do, and what you can expect for cost, speed, and output quality.
Best for
Short-form social content, e-commerce product clips, ad creative iterations, AI short dramas, and any scenario where you need more video iterations per dollar.
How It Works
Three steps to generate with Seedance 2.0 Mini.
The generator is not enabled yet — but the workflow is straightforward once it's live.
01
Describe or upload
Write a text prompt, upload a reference image, or combine both. Seedance 2.0 Mini supports up to 12 reference inputs for precise control over character, style, and motion.
02
Choose your format
Pick from 5 aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 3:4) and set your desired clip length between 4 and 15 seconds. Mini optimizes for quick turnaround at 480p–720p.
03
Generate and iterate
Get your first draft in minutes — not hours. Review the motion, composition, and pacing, then refine and regenerate. Run more iterations per idea without worrying about budget.

Key Features
A smaller price tag, a bigger output volume.
Seedance 2.0 Mini doesn't replace the Standard tier — it expands what's possible when budget and speed matter more than ultimate fidelity.
Multimodal input, up to 12 references
Combine up to 6 images, 3 audio tracks, and 3 video clips as reference inputs for consistent characters, camera motion, and storytelling across generations.
~2x faster than Fast tier
Seedance 2.0 Mini is optimized for speed — roughly double the generation speed of the Fast tier, with better motion consistency than previous draft-level models.
50% lower cost per clip
At roughly 0.5 RMB per second (720p), Mini costs about half of the Standard tier. Run more test variations, explore more angles, and iterate freely before committing to final renders.
Built for short-form platforms
5 aspect ratios including 9:16 vertical, up to 15-second clips, and consistent character rendering — purpose-built for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and e-commerce product loops.
Strong prompt adherence
Mini interprets camera motion, lighting, scene composition, and subject positioning with reliability that rivals higher tiers — so your creative direction carries through to the draft.
HD upscale ready
Export Mini drafts for HD upscale (up to 4K) and frame interpolation (up to 60 FPS) via Dreamina — keeping the path from draft to final production seamless.
Use Cases
Where Seedance 2.0 Mini delivers the most value.
When you need volume, speed, and affordability, Mini turns constraints into creative capacity.

Hanna Marshall
Creative Strategist
"At half the cost, we can test 3x more ad hooks per campaign. Mini changed our pre-production process from 'pick one direction' to 'validate ten and scale the winner.'"
Michelle Sullivan
Social Media Lead
"Our Reels output went from 5 a week to 20. The speed gain is real, and for short-form content, the quality at 720p is more than enough."
Mary Edwards
E-commerce Producer
"We generate product videos for 200 SKUs a month now. Mini makes the economics work — the cost per clip is low enough that we can experiment freely."
Beth Morris
Brand Designer
"The multi-reference support is the hidden gem. We feed it brand assets and get back drafts that actually respect the visual identity."
Mason Liu
Performance Marketer
"More iterations = more winners. With Mini, our ad testing budget goes further and the data comes back faster."
Randall Collins
Video Consultant
"For clients who need volume over polish, Mini is the answer. It's not meant for :30 cinematic spots — it's for the 5-second hook tests and social cuts that drive performance."
