Six aspect ratios per resolution, from 16:9 to 9:16, for any platform

Limitations

Video-to-video costs more than text or image input because it has to preserve source motion and identity

ByteDance Seedance 2.0 Mini: Fast AI Video Generator Online

Seedance 2.0 Mini is the compact variant of ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 video family, built for speed and lower cost per generation. It turns text into video, animates a still image, and can restyle an existing clip while preserving the source's motion and identity. Try it directly in the browser on NetRoom — no VPN, no local install, no lengthy signup.

Three modes in one model

Text-to-video builds a scene from scratch out of a prompt, image-to-video brings a static photo to life, and video-to-video takes an existing clip and applies a new story or style without losing its motion. Clips run from 4 to 15 seconds in whole-second steps, so you can match the exact runtime a TikTok, Reels clip, or website teaser needs.

Synced audio and references

Seedance 2.0 Mini generates synced audio by default, so there is no separate step for adding a soundtrack. For tighter control over a scene, you can feed in up to 9 reference images, 3 reference videos, and 3 reference audio clips at once — the model pulls them together into one coherent shot with consistent characters, location, and ambient sound.

480p and 720p, six aspect ratios

Two resolutions are available, 480p and 720p, each with six aspect ratios: 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, and 21:9. That covers social content, previews, and fast prototyping, though there is no negative prompt support and no seed parameter — neither is exposed in the API.

How Mini compares to the flagship Seedance 2.0

The full Seedance 2.0 model supports 1080p and 4K output plus edit and extend modes for refining finished clips. Seedance 2.0 Mini trades those away for speed and a lower price: generations finish faster and cost less, which makes it well suited to fast concepting — running through many ideas before committing to a full-quality render.
