Seedance 2.0 Mini is ByteDance's smallest Seedance 2.0 video model, released in June 2026. It is the lower-cost, high-volume sibling of Seedance 2.0: same multimodal routes and native audio, output at 480p or 720p. On Elyum you use it as text to video, image to video, reference to video, and video editing, in clips of 4 to 15 seconds.

Use it for volume drafts, social shorts, prompt tests, and cheap edits of existing footage, then step up to Seedance 2.0 when a keeper needs 1080p. One credit balance across 50+ models, from a Free plan with up to 100 credits (our algorithm may grant them) up to Ultra ($69/mo), plus top-ups. Also runs from Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor through Elyum's MCP server and REST API.

Why Seedance 2.0 Mini is good

Fastest, cheapest Seedance 2.0

Mini is the smallest model in ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 family, released June 2026. Same generation and edit routes as Seedance 2.0, tuned for speed and cost, with output at 480p or 720p.

Text, image, reference, and edit

On Elyum the four routes are text to video, image to video, reference to video, and video editing. Six aspect ratios. Start from a prompt, a still, reference media, or an existing clip.

Native audio

Sound and dialogue generate with the video, not as a second pass. Speech, room tone, and effects land in the same take, so a first-pass soundtrack does not need a separate audio model.

Built for volume drafts

Mini is the Seedance 2.0 lane for high-volume pipelines and prototyping: social batches, ad variants, and prompt tests. Draft at 480p, keep the takes that work, and spend more only on the shot that matters.

4–15 seconds, six aspect ratios

Clips run from 4 to 15 seconds. Six aspect ratios cover vertical social, landscape, square, and widescreen from one studio.

Preview free, pay for keeps

Credits charge only when you keep a take. Kill the rest and they refund in full. A 5-second 480p keep is 45 credits ($0.45). Kept downloads are clean, full quality, and watermark-free.
