Seedance 2.0 Mini: FAQ
1. What is Seedance 2.0 Mini?
Seedance 2.0 Mini is the faster, lower-cost tier of Seedance 2.0. It generates video with native synchronized audio and offers the same two modes as full Seedance — Keyframe (text-to-video and image-to-video) and Reference (multimodal) — but caps out at 720p. It's built for high-volume iteration: social clips, ad variants, B-roll, and storyboard drafts.
2. What resolution and duration does Seedance 2.0 Mini support?
Resolutions:
480p (faster, cheaper drafts)
720p (balanced)
No 1080p or 4K on Mini; step up to full Seedance 2.0 for those.
Durations (clip lengths):
Any whole number of seconds from 4s to 15s (longer clips cost more)
3. How does Seedance 2.0 Mini handle audio?
Audio is native, synchronized, and on by default:
Dialogue: enclose spoken lines in double quotes for cleaner sync.
Sound & ambience: describe them in the prompt.
Silent output: turn audio generation off.
4. Can you combine inputs with Seedance 2.0 Mini in one prompt?
Yes. The two modes are mutually exclusive:
Keyframe mode:
A Start Frame with an optional End Frame for interpolation.
Reference mode (multimodal):
Up to 9 reference images
Up to 3 reference videos (each 4–15s; combined ≤15s)
Up to 3 reference audio clips (each 2–15s; cannot be used alone, must pair with a reference image or video)
Note: you can't mix keyframes and reference inputs in the same generation; pick one mode.
5. What aspect ratios are available?
16:9 (landscape)
9:16 (portrait / vertical)
1:1 (square)
4:3, 3:4, 21:9
adaptive (the model picks based on your inputs)
6. Are keyframes available with the Seedance 2.0 Mini model?
Yes, in Keyframe mode:
Start Frame: the model animates outward from this image.
End Frame: optional, requires a Start Frame, and drives keyframe interpolation between the two.
Modes at a glance
Mode | What it does |

Mini vs full Seedance 2.0
Mini is roughly 2× faster and about half the per-second cost at comparable quality, making it ideal for high-volume iteration and drafts. Move to full Seedance 2.0 for hero shots, final delivery, or when you need 1080p / 4K.
