Three Ways to Generate with the Seedance 2.0 Mini API
Seedance 2.0 Mini API Endpoints
| Modality | Description |
|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 Mini T2V (Text to Video) | Turn a prompt into a short clip with synchronized audio in one pass. Set the scene, motion, and aspect ratio, and Mini returns a 4 to 15 second result fast, which suits batch social posts, ad cutdowns, and quick concept tests at volume. |
| Seedance 2.0 Mini I2V (Image to Video) | Animate a still from its first frame, with an optional last frame to bound the motion. Mini holds the subject's look while it moves, a practical fit for product shots, listing videos, and large catalog runs where you need many clips cheaply. |
| Seedance 2.0 Mini R2V (Reference to Video) | Drive a generation with image, video, and audio references to carry identity, motion, or style across shots. Use it for character-consistent series and template-style content where the same look has to repeat across a high-volume set. |
Key Features of the Seedance 2.0 Mini API
These Seedance 2.0 Mini API features keep the family's core toolkit, multimodal references, native audio, camera control, and real physics, tuned for speed and low cost at 480p or 720p, so high-volume work gets the same capabilities without the flagship's overhead.
Feed It Images, Video, or Audio
Mini takes text, images, and reference video or audio in one request and carries their motion, look, and timing into the result. Tag a clip as a reference and it copies the action or camera move; tag an image and it locks the subject.
Direct the Camera in Plain Words with the Seedance 2.0 Mini API
Describe a dolly push, a pan, a tracking shot, or a handheld drift, and the Seedance 2.0 Mini API executes it. Pass a reference clip and it follows that camera move, so even quick drafts get intentional framing.
Weight and Motion That Hold Up in the Seedance 2.0 Mini API
A built-in world model gives the Seedance 2.0 Mini API a sense of weight and momentum, so objects fall, collide, and settle naturally. Cloth, hair, and fast action stay believable rather than sliding or warping, even at the speed Mini runs.
Speed and Cost, Tuned for Volume
This is what sets the tier apart: Mini runs about twice as fast as Fast and costs less per clip, generating natively at 480p and 720p with HD available through a super-resolution pass. It is the option built for volume rather than peak fidelity.
One Character, Every Generation
Mini holds a face, outfit, and overall style steady from first frame to last, even across cuts. Feed a reference image and the same character comes back generation after generation, so you can batch a serialized look without drift.
Sound Built In, Not Bolted On
Mini produces synchronized voice, effects, and background in the same pass as the picture, with lip movement that tracks the dialogue. There is no separate audio step, so a finished clip arrives with sound already locked to the action.
A Short Story in One Generation
Mini can stage several shots and angles inside one 4 to 15 second clip while keeping the character and setting consistent across cuts. That builds a short, coherent sequence in a single generation, no stitching required.
Revise and Lengthen Clips with the Seedance 2.0 Mini API
Through the reference-to-video endpoint, the Seedance 2.0 Mini API restyles footage, swaps elements, and extends a clip past its final frame with a smooth join. Revise or lengthen a sequence at low cost instead of regenerating from scratch.
One Prompt, Seedance 2.0 Mini vs the Rest
Run the same prompt through the Seedance 2.0 Mini API and other video models, and see how the lightweight 720p tier holds up against heavier models on fast, high-volume scenes, the work Mini is actually built for.
Fast-paced chase in 12 seconds, multiple hard cuts. Shot 1, low tracking: a courier on a bike races down a narrow market lane, clipping a stack of empty crates that tumble and scatter behind the wheel. Shot 2, hard cut to a side tracking shot: the bike weaves between hanging cloth banners that snap and billow in its wake. Shot 3, whip pan to a high angle: it skids around a corner, knocking a tower of woven baskets that bounce and roll across the cobblestones with real weight. Shot 4, low POV: the front wheel splashes through a shallow puddle, water spraying up over the lens. Shot 5, low hero angle: the courier bunny-hops onto a ramp and launches into a sunbeam, parcels flying off the rack behind. Crisp 720p, warm daylight, drifting dust, photorealistic motion, handheld energy.

Crisp 720p, warm daylight, drifting dust, photorealistic motion, handheld energy. Realistic food macro sequence in 12 seconds, vertical 9:16, several quick cuts. Shot 1 (0 to 3s), extreme close-up: a knife slices through a stack of fluffy pancakes and they spring back slightly as melted butter slides down the side. Shot 2 (3 to 6s), hard cut overhead: a stream of golden syrup pours in a glossy ribbon, pooling and dripping over the edge in slow motion. Shot 3 (6 to 9s), side macro: a fork pulls one layer away and steam curls up as the soft interior stretches. Shot 4 (9 to 12s), top-down: fresh blueberries drop one by one and bounce off the stack, a dusting of powdered sugar falling like snow as the camera pushes in. Photorealistic, shallow depth of field, glossy textures, warm appetizing light, crisp 720p.

Build at Scale with the Seedance 2.0 Mini API
When you need a lot of video fast and cheap, the Seedance 2.0 Mini API covers the high-volume work: social feeds, product catalogs, ad testing, prototyping, and content pipelines, all from text, image, video, and audio at 480p or 720p.
High-Volume Social and Short-Form Video
Mini turns out vertical clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts fast enough to feed a daily posting schedule. At 480p or 720p with native audio, one prompt becomes a finished short in seconds, so creator tools and social teams can publish many variations without a production crew. It is built for the volume short-form demands.
Rapid Prototyping with the Seedance 2.0 Mini API
Use the Seedance 2.0 Mini API to draft and compare many prompt ideas before committing to a final render. Because each clip is fast and low cost, you can run wide prompt sweeps, keep the winners, then re-render only those on a higher Seedance tier. It keeps the iteration loop quick and cheap.
Product Video for Entire Catalogs
Animate product photos into short showcase clips one SKU at a time, across a full catalog, without booking a shoot. Image-to-video keeps each item recognizable as it moves, and the low per-clip cost makes it practical to cover thousands of listings. Mini is the tier that makes catalog-scale video affordable.
Embed Video Generation in Your App
For SaaS products and creator tools, Mini gives end users in-app video generation at a cost per call that works in a consumer product. The same OpenAI-compatible endpoint scales from a handful of requests to high concurrency, so you can ship a video feature without rebuilding your stack.
Ad Variants at Scale with the Seedance 2.0 Mini API
Spin up dozens of ad cutdowns from one brief to find what converts. The Seedance 2.0 Mini API generates native-audio variants quickly and cheaply, and reference inputs keep the same product or talent across every cut, which suits high-volume performance marketing and rapid creative testing.
Batch Content Pipelines with the Seedance 2.0 Mini API
Wire the Seedance 2.0 Mini API into an automated pipeline that turns rows of data into finished clips. Generation is asynchronous, so you submit jobs, poll task IDs, and collect results at scale, a fit for content automation, programmatic video, and any workflow producing many clips on a schedule.
How the Seedance 2.0 Mini API Compares
Compare the Seedance 2.0 Mini API with other leading video models on inputs, duration, resolution, and native audio, so you can tell when the lightweight tier is enough and when to reach for a higher-fidelity model.
| Model | Best for | Native audio | Max resolution | Output duration | Speed and cost |

Frequently Asked Questions about Seedance 2.0 Mini
Seedance 2.0 Mini is the lightweight tier of ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 video family, served on Atlas Cloud through one OpenAI-compatible key. It runs the same three modes as the rest of the family (text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video) and generates synchronized native audio, but it is tuned for speed and low cost rather than top-end fidelity. Reach for it when you need a lot of short video quickly and cheaply.
Seedance 2.0 Mini is ByteDance's lightweight tier of the Seedance 2.0 model family, optimized for speed and cost efficiency over maximum output quality. Seedance 2.0 is the full-capability flagship and 2.0 Fast trades some quality for roughly 2x faster generation. Mini sits below Fast, purpose-built for high-volume workflows where generation speed and cost per video matter more than cinematic-grade output.
The Seedance 2.0 Mini API exposes three endpoints: text to video, image to video, and reference to video. It accepts text prompts, images, and reference videos and audio, with native synchronized audio generated in the same pass. The reference mode preserves character identity and visual style across clips, so you can build consistent multi-shot sequences.
Yes, the Mini tier keeps the family's multimodal inputs: text, images, and reference videos and audio across its text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video modes. It uses the same reference system to lock character identity and style. The main trade-off versus the full Seedance 2.0 is output resolution and top-end polish, not input flexibility.
Use Mini for high-volume, cost-sensitive work where speed matters more than the last few percent of polish: batch generation, content pipelines, rapid prototyping, draft passes, and large prompt sweeps. When a clip needs maximum fidelity or native 4K, render the final version on standard Seedance 2.0 and keep Mini for the drafts.
The Seedance 2.0 Mini API generates natively at 480p and 720p, in clips of 4 to 15 seconds, across aspect ratios including 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 21:9, and adaptive. Higher-resolution HD is available through super-resolution rather than native 1080p or 4K. For native 1080p or cinema-grade detail, step up to standard Seedance 2.0.
The Seedance 2.0 Mini API runs about twice as fast as Seedance 2.0 Fast at comparable quality, and it is the lowest-cost tier in the Seedance line. That combination is built for high-volume work: batch generation, rapid iteration, and draft passes where speed and unit cost matter more than maximum fidelity. Pay-as-you-go billing applies, with no subscription required.
Yes. The Mini tier is designed specifically for teams running large generation volumes where cost and throughput are the primary constraints. Use cases include automated content pipelines, rapid prototyping, A/B testing at scale, and any workflow where you need to generate many clips quickly without the cost overhead of the full Seedance 2.0 model.
Yes. Video generated through the Seedance 2.0 Mini API on Atlas Cloud can be used in commercial projects under Atlas Cloud's standard terms, the same as the other Seedance tiers. Review the terms of service for the full details, and note the content rules that apply across the family, including the restriction on uploading real human faces.
Yes. Rate limits and concurrency vary by account tier and model, so a large batch that fans out too aggressively can hit a 429 Too Many Requests response. Add exponential backoff and a retry on 429, and contact support to raise your limits as you scale. For sustained throughput or guaranteed capacity, the Enterprise plan offers higher ceilings and custom limits.
