Seedance 2.0 Mini AI Video Generator
Use Seedance 2.0 Mini to check whether references, composition, and a simplified shot instruction work together before spending effort on a final-quality route.

Current PixMind inputs
Choose the input mode before writing the shot
These modes come from the connected PixMind route verified on July 13, 2026. Available controls can change, and the live generator is final.
First and last frame
Define both endpoints, then describe only the physical motion and camera path between them.
Multimodal reference
Assign identity, setting, motion, and sound to separate image, video, and audio references.
Concept-validation route
Prove the concept before polishing it
Mini is positioned as a concept-validation route while stable cost and speed evidence is incomplete. Use it to find conflicts and reduce the prompt, not to claim Pro-equivalent output.
01
Reference-fit check
Confirm that identity, product, setting, and motion references point toward one compatible shot.
Use it to answer: Is this direction clear enough to continue, and which details must remain fixed in the next pass?
02
Prompt conflict diagnosis
Remove instructions that compete over subject appearance, camera movement, lighting, or the ending frame.
Use it to answer: Is this direction clear enough to continue, and which details must remain fixed in the next pass?
03
Composition direction
Validate subject scale, negative space, screen direction, and crop before adding detailed motion.
Use it to answer: Is this direction clear enough to continue, and which details must remain fixed in the next pass?
Mini-to-Pro handoff
Carry forward the concise prompt and the smallest reference set that produced a coherent direction.
Route comparison
Choose Seedance by production role
The table separates the current PixMind route snapshot from ByteDance family-level claims. Credits and exposed controls should be rechecked in the generator.
| Version | Best for | Inputs | Duration | Resolution | Audio | Credit snapshot |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 Pro | Complex multimodal references and selected final takes | Text, image, video, and audio references | 5, 10, or 15 seconds | 480p, 720p, 1080p; 4K requires live verification | Audio-capable route | Read from the live generator |
| Seedance 2.0 Fast | Storyboard beats, camera A/B tests, and social hooks | Text, image, video, and audio references | 5, 10, or 15 seconds | 480p or 720p | Audio-capable route | Read from the live generator |
| Seedance 2.0 MiniCurrent | Testing reference fit, composition, and prompt conflicts | Text, image, video, and audio references | 5, 10, or 15 seconds | 480p or 720p | Audio-capable route | Read from the live generator |
| Seedance 1.5 Pro | Existing image-led prompts and controlled migration tests | Text or up to two images in the current response | Live generator is final; API fields conflict | 480p, 720p, or 1080p | Audio-capable route | 40-point API snapshot; confirm live |
The 1.5 Pro response reports 40 points, but its duration fields conflict. Pro, Fast, and Mini do not expose a stable points field in the verified endpoint snapshot.
What to watch after testing
Turn generations into production decisions
A smaller reference set is easier to diagnose
Start with the minimum inputs needed to answer one concept question, then add detail only after the direction works.
Prompt reduction comes before prompt expansion
When a test fails, remove competing actions, styles, and references before writing a longer prompt.
Cost and speed still require live evidence
Mini is treated as a concept-validation route; this page does not call it the cheapest or fastest option.
How to use this version
From source material to reviewed take
State one question
Decide whether the test is about reference fit, composition, motion, or prompt clarity.
Use the minimum inputs
Start with only the references required to answer that question.
Simplify after failure
Remove conflicting references and secondary actions before adding more detail.
Handoff a clean brief
Send the approved composition, prompt, and reference roles to Pro without reopening the concept.
Version-specific prompts
Prompt starters for this route
Prompt 01
Reference compatibility test
Check whether two references can share one shot.
Use @Image 1 only for the product shape and @Image 2 only for the studio palette. Static three-quarter hero composition, soft side light, one subtle clockwise turn, clean negative space. Do not change geometry or add text.
Prompt 02
Prompt reduction test
Find the smallest instruction that preserves the idea.
One subject, one action, one camera move. The ceramic lamp turns on as the camera makes a slow 20-degree arc. Preserve shape, material, background layout, and final centered composition. No secondary motion.
Prompt 03
Composition check
Validate framing before complex movement.
Vertical 9:16 composition test. Keep the character in the lower center third with clear headroom and space above for interface copy. Minimal walking motion, locked camera, stable wardrobe and background.

View versionSeedance 2.0 Mini FAQ
Is Mini the cheapest or fastest Seedance route?
This page does not make that claim. Check the live generator for current credits and test measured speed under the same queue conditions.
What should move from Mini to Pro?
Keep the approved framing, concise prompt, reference assignments, and non-negotiable details. Remove failed variants and conflicting assets.
Which inputs and controls are available on Mini?
The connected Mini route currently exposes text or image generation, first and last frame control, and multimodal reference mode with image, video, and audio inputs.
What should I test first with Mini?
Start with one production question: whether the references are compatible, the composition reads, one motion works, or the prompt is clear. Do not test all four at once.
What duration and resolution does Mini currently show?
The connected configuration lists 480p or 720p. Duration fields are not stable enough to repeat as a guarantee, so use the exact choices displayed in the live generator.
How do I diagnose a failed Mini concept test?
Remove secondary actions and conflicting references, reduce the brief to one subject, one action, and one camera instruction, then rerun the same composition before adding detail.
Can Mini use or generate audio?
The route reports audio capability and accepts audio in multimodal reference mode. For concept validation, map only essential beats or cues and review the full result for timing and distortion.
Does Mini cost a fixed number of credits?
No stable Mini credit field appears in the verified endpoint snapshot. Confirm the live price before submitting and compare routes using actual charged credits, not model names.
