Seedance 2 Mini AI Video Generator
Seedance 2 Mini is the cheapest way into the Seedance 2 look. 480p or 720p from text, a still image or an existing clip, billed per second, and priced so the fourth attempt is as easy as the first — which is how a shot that works actually gets found.
Seedance 2 Mini AI Video Generator
From prompt to clip
Four steps, and the last one is the one people skip.
Pick an input mode
A written description, a still or a clip — 480p is the cheaper of the two resolutions to test on.
Describe the motion
State the camera move and what moves in frame. Adjectives survive a render far less reliably than stated actions do.
Set resolution and length
480p and a short duration while you are testing; both are what the cost is made of.
Run it more than once
Video output varies run to run. Get roughly two attempts here for the per-second cost of one Seedance 2.0 run at the same resolution.
What is Seedance 2 Mini?
Seedance 2 Mini is the lowest tier of ByteDance's Seedance 2 family, sitting below Seedance 2.0 and Seedance 2 Fast. It takes the same three kinds of input the family does — a written description, a still image, or an existing clip to work from — and caps out at 720p rather than 1080p. What it is really for is run count.
Motion is something you find by running it, not by writing a better prompt — the take you keep is usually the third or fourth one, not the first. At the top tier each of those failures is expensive enough to make you cautious, which is the wrong instinct when the fix is another attempt.
Mini makes attempts cheap enough that you can afford to be wrong. Billing is per second of output, so a short test run costs proportionally less than the take you commit to.

What a clip costs
Rate is per second and depends on the resolution you pick.
The entry tier of Seedance 2
Below Seedance 2 Fast and Seedance 2.0, and capped at 720p instead of 1080p.
Three input modes
Text to video, image to video, or video to video, at 480p or 720p.
Built for iteration
Cheap enough per run that a failed take is a retry rather than a decision.
When Mini is the right pick
Pick Mini when you do not yet know whether the shot works. That covers more of the process than people expect: finding the prompt, testing whether a camera move survives the render, checking that a character holds together for the length you need, and generating filler or background footage where nobody will be examining the frame. Ship straight from here when 720p is the delivery resolution anyway, and move up to Seedance 2 Fast or Seedance 2.0 once the prompt is settled and 1080p is worth paying for. The workflow that wastes the least money is to iterate down here and finish up there — the prompt you arrive at transfers between tiers.
Find the prompt cheaply
Settle the wording, the motion and the framing at the low tier, then run the final higher up.
Start from a clip if you have one
Working from existing video costs less per second than generating the motion from scratch.
Keep clips short
Billing is per second, so testing on a short clip is the cheapest way to learn anything.
Feature overview
What the entry tier covers, and where the tiers above it pick up.
Text to video
Generate a clip from a written description with no source material.
Image to video
Start from a still and describe the motion you want added to it.
Video input
Hand it a clip you already have and let it carry the motion — the cheapest way in, at about 135 credits for 6s at 480p.
480p and 720p
Two resolutions, with 1080p available on the tiers above.

What each model costs in credits
A failed run is refunded automatically. The exact estimate in the generator varies by model, length, resolution, audio, and number of images.
| Type | Model | Credit cost |
|---|---|---|
| Video | Seedance 2.5 | The long-take tier, priced per second: 5s 480p ≈ 525 credits, 5s 720p ≈ 1,185. A full 30s take runs ≈ 3,150 at 480p and ≈ 7,090 at 720p. |
| Video | Seedance 2.0 | Supplying a starting frame or clip costs less than starting from words alone: 6s 720p ≈ 565 credits from an image, ≈ 925 from text. Scales with resolution and length. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Fast | Faster and lower cost. 6s 720p text-to-video ≈ 745 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Mini | The cheapest tier of the Seedance 2 family. 6s 720p ≈ 465 credits, 6s 480p ≈ 215 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 1.5 Pro | Audio doubles the rate. 6s 720p ≈ 85 credits silent, ≈ 160 with audio; 1080p ≈ 175 and ≈ 340. |
| Video | Veo 3.1 | Billed per video, not per second, and the tier you pick is the whole price: Lite ≈ 115 credits at 720p and ≈ 135 at 1080p, Fast ≈ 225 at 720p, Quality ≈ 940 at 720p. |
| Video | Kling 3.0 | Audio raises the rate by about half. 6s 720p ≈ 320 credits silent, ≈ 455 with audio; 1080p ≈ 405 and ≈ 610. |
| Video | MiniMax H3 | Fixed 2K, no resolution ladder. Priced per second — a 5s clip ≈ 395 credits. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 | Generate or edit from text and images. 20 credits per 1K image, 30 at 2K, 45 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana Pro | Consistent run times across generations. 30 credits per 1K or 2K image, 55 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 Lite | Faster, simpler variant, and the everyday editing price: a flat 15 credits per image at every resolution. |
| Image | GPT Image 2 | The lowest-cost premium image model here. 10 credits per 1K image, 15 at 2K, 30 at 4K. |
| Image | GPT Image 2.5 Flare | OpenAI's newest image model, on the fast tier. 25 credits per 1K image, 40 at 2K, 60 at 4K — same price whether you generate or edit. |
| Image | GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | The 2.5 tier for edits that touch only what you named. Same price as Flare: 25 credits per 1K image, 40 at 2K, 60 at 4K. |
| Image | Seedream 5.0 Lite | Flat pricing — 20 credits per image whether you generate or edit. |
Seedance 2 Mini FAQ
Common questions about the entry tier of the Seedance 2 family.
Mini caps at 720p where Seedance 2.0 reaches 1080p, and it costs roughly half as much per second at the same resolution. Both take text, image or video input.
Billing is per second. A 6-second clip is about 215 credits at 480p and about 465 at 720p, and ten seconds is about two thirds more.
Because the model continues motion that already exists instead of inventing it: 6s at 480p is about 135 credits from a clip against 215 from text. Resolution and length are the other two levers, and length is the biggest of the three.
No — 480p and 720p only. For 1080p, use Seedance 2 Fast or Seedance 2.0.
Video generation is not deterministic; the same prompt produces a different take each run. That is the reason to iterate at this tier rather than a more expensive one.
Credits are returned automatically, unless the request broke the content policy.
Mini is the cheapest way into the Seedance 2 generation's look. It is the only way into the 2.x look at this rate — 1.5 Pro is the older generation, and it is the one to reach for when you want an audio track.
