Prompt guide
How to write a Seedance 2 Mini prompt
What Mini creators on r/Seedance_AI and X do: short, clear, one idea per clip, and the camera named for each move.
01
Lead with the style
"High-contrast manga anime" or "3D cartoon" before any action.
02
One character, fixed props
Keep the basket on the same hip; fewer object changes, cleaner clips.
03
A camera for each move
Low-angle sprint, close-up eyes, overhead strike: name the shot per beat.
04
Queue two, keep one
Run the prompt twice at 480p and render the better idea at 720p.

Why people pick it
Seedance 2 Mini for cartoons, anime and quick takes
Cartoon and anime with clean line art
One r/Seedance_AI cartoon maker prefers Mini at 720p even to 2.5 for cartoon work: the line art is really clean and it takes creative camera cuts on its own. Name the style and the character design up front.
- Simple character designs hold well
- Monochrome, cel or manga looks
Queue a few takes, keep the best
The same creator runs a couple of copies of one prompt and cuts together the best moments. At about half the Seedance 2.0 rate, that habit costs little.
- 145 credits for a 4-second 480p take
- Keep the best take as your final cut
Close-up dialogue and short gags
"Mini works really well for close up talking shots," one tester found. Keep the face near the lens, give the line in quotes, and land the joke in one beat.
- Sound and voice in the same render
- 9:16 for Shorts and Reels

A horse archer on the steppe
@Ankit_patel211 on XSetting, rider, tactics and the final wide shot in one paragraph, with the horsemanship named as the star.
Endless golden grassland, low sun, wind rippling the grass like water. A Mongol woman rides a compact steppe pony at a controlled canter, bow drawn. She's harassing a Jin cavalry patrol — feigned retreat, turning in the saddle for the Parthian shot, arrow after arrow finding gaps in lamellar armor. The horsemanship is the star: no hands on reins, controlling the horse with legs and weight, the pony reading her body. When one pursuer closes, she drops the bow to a saddle loop, draws a curved saber, and executes a single passing cut. The pursuit becomes a wide sweeping shot — dozens of riders spread across the plain, dust trails behind each one.

FAQ
Seedance 2 Mini FAQ
The questions people ask about it on Reddit, answered for how it runs on SayMaker.
Good enough that it placed second overall on Design Arena's video leaderboard, above the full Seedance 2.0, when Gemini Omni Flash took first. Cartoon makers on r/Seedance_AI single it out for clean line art.
145 credits for 4 seconds at 480p, 215 for 6 seconds at 480p, 465 for 6 seconds at 720p and 770 for 10 seconds at 720p, about half the Seedance 2.0 rate. Sound is included and a technical failure is refunded.
Subscription credits vanish when every take is a guess. Here each Seedance 2 Mini clip shows its price before it renders, so you decide how many takes a shot is worth.
Right here, in the browser: r/Seedance_v2 went looking after it vanished from one app, and on SayMaker it runs in both the video generator and the agent.
For cartoons, one r/Seedance_AI creator prefers Mini even to 2.5. For a long single take up to 30 seconds, run the prompt on Seedance 2.5.
Name a camera for every move, the way the r/Seedance_AI fight-scene creator does, and keep props in fixed places so nothing has to change state mid-shot.
Mini is the lower rate and the pick for cartoons and close-up talking shots; Fast is the step up for photoreal 720p clips. Both render sound with the picture.
Mini costs about half and stops at 720p. Seedance 2.0 is there when the same prompt needs 1080p.
Yes. Upload a still and the clip starts from that frame, with sound generated in the same render.
