Seedance 2.0 Mini: ByteDance's Cheapest Cinematic Video Tier

Seedance 2.0 Mini lands in the video model picker — image-to-video and reference-to-video with native audio at under two-thirds the price of the Fast tier.

ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 Mini is now available in the video model picker, in two variants — the most affordable way to get Seedance 2.0's cinematic output and native audio.

Seedance 2.0 Mini (Image-to-Video)

Animate a start frame into a full clip. Mini is image-to-video only — there is no text-to-video mode — so a first frame image is always required.

  • Start + end frames: provide a first frame (JPEG/PNG/WebP, up to 30 MB).
  • Native audio, on by default: synchronized speech, sound effects, and ambience.
  • Durations: 4–15 seconds.
  • Resolutions: 480p and 720p.
  • Aspect ratios: 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, and 9:16.
  • Pricing: ~$0.20 / second at 720p (~$0.09/s at 480p) — vs ~$0.31/s for Seedance 2.0 Fast. Token-based upstream pricing ($0.007 per 1,000 tokens) with our standard 30% platform markup.

Seedance 2.0 Mini Reference

The budget reference-to-video tier: generate consistent videos from reference media.

  • Up to 9 reference images (@Image1@Image9), 3 reference videos (@Video1@Video3), and 3 audio files in a single request.
  • 40% cheaper with video references: supplying reference videos applies the upstream 0.6× rate, mirrored in your credits.
  • Same durations, resolutions, aspect ratios, and native audio as the image-to-video variant.
