About Seedance 2.0 Mini
Seedance 2.0 Mini is the faster, cheaper version of ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 video model. It keeps the things people like about Seedance 2.0, such as natural motion, steady camera work and stable characters, while generating more quickly and costing about $0.07 per second at 480p on the provider side. Clips run from 4 to 15 seconds, with generated sound included at no extra cost.
If you searched for "Seedance 2.0" because you want the Seedance look without paying for the larger model on every draft, Mini is the version to start with. It is a good match for short social clips, quick concept tests and trend videos where you will post several variations.
Modes available on WandVideo
- Text to video in six aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 and 21:9.
- Image to video from a start image with an optional end image. The aspect ratio follows your image.
- Reference to video with several reference photos, used by our trend templates. For example, the Hotel Lobby AI template turns two photos into a vertical clip of two people, or two pets, taking turns on a hanging mic.
Resolutions are 480p and 720p. The provider does not offer 1080p for this model.
Seedance 2.0 Mini vs Seedance 2.5
Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's newer, larger model. It handles longer multi-shot stories, up to 30 seconds per clip, and costs more per second. Seedance 2.0 Mini tops out at 15 seconds and is the better choice when price and speed matter more than length. A sensible workflow is to test an idea with Mini at 480p, then move to 720p or to Seedance 2.5 once the prompt works.
Prompting tips
- Describe one clear action per clip. Short clips look best when a single thing happens, such as a slow push-in, a turn to camera or a pour.
- Put the camera in the prompt: "static camera", "slow dolly in", "handheld close-up". Seedance follows camera directions closely.
- Name the subject the same way every time ("the woman in the yellow raincoat") so it stays consistent through the shot.
- Use 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, and 16:9 for YouTube and websites.
- Leave audio on unless you plan to add your own soundtrack. It does not change the price.
Credits
The provider bills Seedance 2.0 Mini by output resolution and length: roughly $0.0721 per second at 480p and $0.1547 per second at 720p. WandVideo converts this into a fixed credit price for each length and resolution, shown in the table above, so you always see the cost before you generate.
