Prompt-first video creation
Write a scene, camera move, subject, and style direction, then generate a short video draft directly from text.
Seedance 2.0 Mini is a practical entry point for creators who need many short AI video attempts before committing budget to a final render. It keeps the Seedance 2.0 workflow while prioritizing speed, lower cost, and rapid prompt feedback.
Write a scene, camera move, subject, and style direction, then generate a short video draft directly from text.
Upload a reference image when you want Mini to preserve a subject, product, composition, or visual direction.
Use a short video reference when motion, pacing, or an existing scene needs to guide the new output.
Mini is useful when the work is still exploratory and you need several variations before choosing a stronger model.
Mini and Seedance 2.0 are not the same job. Mini is best for speed-sensitive exploration and low-cost drafts. Seedance 2.0 is better when the final clip needs stronger fidelity, more complex motion, or a more polished cinematic result.
