Seedance 2.0 Mini API FAQ
What is Seedance 2.0 Mini?
Seedance 2.0 Mini is the cost-efficient video model in the ByteDance Seedance 2.0 family. It is built for frequent short-video generation, prompt testing, social clips, marketing drafts, and other cases where you need more usable attempts at a lower per-clip cost.
Why choose Seedance 2.0 Mini instead of Seedance 2.0?
Choose Mini when you want lower-cost iteration and faster testing before committing to a higher-resolution final render. Use the full Seedance 2.0 model when you need 1080p or 4K output, premium production quality, or the highest available detail.
What input types does Seedance 2.0 Mini support on PoYo?
PoYo keeps the Seedance 2 input surface for Mini: text prompts, image URLs, reference image URLs, reference video URLs, reference audio URLs, duration, resolution, aspect ratio, and generate_audio. Supported upload formats follow the playground rules: JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, or AVIF for first/last frame images; JPEG, PNG, or WebP for reference images; MP4 or MOV for reference videos; and MP3 or WAV for reference audio.
Does Seedance 2.0 Mini support multi-image references?
Yes. You can provide reference_image_urls to guide character appearance, style, composition, and scene consistency. If you need strict first-frame or last-frame control, use image_urls instead; first/last frame inputs and reference inputs should not be combined in the same request.
What resolution, duration, and aspect ratios are available?
Seedance 2.0 Mini on PoYo supports 480p and 720p output, with durations from 4 to 15 seconds. The default aspect ratio is auto, and you can also choose 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 21:9, 4:3, or 3:4.
How much does Seedance 2.0 Mini cost on PoYo?
PoYo bills Mini per second and is 20% cheaper than the official baseline. 480p costs 6 credits/s with video input or 10 credits/s without video input. 720p costs 14.4 credits/s with video input or 24 credits/s without video input.
How can I reduce Seedance 2.0 Mini credit usage?
Start with short 4-8 second drafts, use 480p for early tests, keep one main action per shot, and turn audio off when you are only checking motion or composition. Move to 720p or longer durations after the prompt is stable.
Does Seedance 2.0 Mini generate audio?
Yes, the PoYo playground includes a generate_audio option. Use it when you need synchronized audio in the result; turn it off for cheaper draft passes when visual motion is the main thing you are testing.
Can I try Seedance 2.0 Mini online before using the API?
Yes. Use the Seedance 2.0 Mini playground on PoYo to test prompts, aspect ratios, reference inputs, duration, and audio settings before integrating the API in your product.
Is Seedance 2.0 Mini good for social ads and short-form content?
Yes. Mini is a strong fit for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, paid social tests, UGC-style scenes, product clips, short drama beats, and storyboard previews where you need multiple versions quickly.
How do I access Seedance 2.0 Mini API?
Create a PoYo API key, submit an async generation request with model=seedance-2-mini, then poll the status endpoint or use a callback URL to receive the finished MP4 video.
