About Seedance 2.0 Mini

Seedance 2.0 Mini is the entry tier of the Seedance family and the cheapest video model per second on the station. Any integer 5-15 seconds, 480P / 720P, five aspect ratios (16:9 / 9:16 / 1:1 / 4:3 / 3:4), optional generated soundtrack; omit the reference image for text-to-video, include one for image-to-video. Async job: POST /v1/videos/generations returns HTTP 202 and a job id; poll GET /v1/videos/jobs/{id} until status=succeeded and read data[0].url (an mp4 re-hosted by us).

Use cases

Bulk drafts

Lowest unit price — generate dozens of candidates and pick by hand.

Creative screening

Prove shot list, camera moves and subject consistency here before spending on a higher tier.

Image-to-video

Reference images pin down the subject, wardrobe and scene, so product shots and character sheets come alive; name them @Image1 / @Image2 in the prompt and the identity carries through.

How to choose

Pick it when budget or volume comes first. Use seedance-2.0 for more visual headroom or 1080P.

FAQ

Mini vs Fast?
Mini is a smaller model tier at a lower price; Fast is the low-latency tier of the same generation. Same envelope (5-15s, 480P / 720P, five ratios): Mini is cheaper, Fast is quicker.
How is it billed, and am I charged on failure?
Per second (reference-video seconds count too): the hold at submit uses the duration you asked for and the settle is the same number; a failed or timed-out render refunds the whole hold.
