Question 1

What is Seedance 2.0 Mini?

Accepted Answer

Seedance 2.0 Mini is ByteDance's fastest and most cost-efficient AI video model. It generates videos quicker than Seedance 2 Fast while delivering comparable visual quality — at a lower credit cost. It supports text, image, video, and audio inputs with native audio output, making it ideal for high-volume production workflows where speed and cost matter most.

Question 2

What are Text-to-Video and Media-to-Video?

Accepted Answer

Text-to-Video (T2V)
Describe your scene in the prompt and the AI generates a video from scratch — no uploads needed.

Media-to-Video (M2V)
Upload reference assets and the AI uses them to guide generation. Use @1, @2, @3 in your prompt to reference uploads.

Supported input combinations:

Text only
Text + Images (up to 9)
Text + Videos (up to 3)
Text + Images + Audio
Text + Videos + Audio
Text + Images + Videos + Audio

⚠️ Audio cannot be used alone — at least one image or video is required alongside audio.

Asset limits:

Up to 9 images, 3 videos, 3 audio files
Videos and audio: max 15 seconds each; total across all videos ≤ 15s
Image formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HEIC (max 30 MB each)
Video formats: MP4, MOV (max 200 MB each); Audio: WAV, MP3 (max 15 MB each)

You can also use First Frame and Last Frame to anchor the start and end of your video.

Question 3

What are the Avatar Library and Material Library?

Accepted Answer

Avatar Library gives you access to a curated set of virtual human characters — diverse nationalities, ages, and personalities — which you can insert directly as reference assets into your Media-to-Video prompt without any upload.

Material Library provides pre-built reference assets organized by category:

Clothing — outfits and wardrobe styles
Scene — background environments and settings
Style — visual styles and art directions
Action — motion and gesture references
Camera — pre-defined camera movement presets
Voice — voice tone and speech style references

Both libraries are available in the prompt toolbar. Click the Avatar Library or Material Library button above the prompt input to browse and select — the asset reference is inserted into your prompt automatically.

Question 4

What's the difference between Standard, Real, and Wild modes?

Accepted Answer

Seedance 2.0 Mini supports three generation modes:

Standard — The default mode for most content. Works with text prompts, abstract visuals, stylized characters, and non-human reference materials.
Real — Optimized for reference images or videos that contain real human faces. Includes dedicated face-consistency processing and additional content compliance review.
Wild — Looser content boundaries for more creative freedom. Other limits (duration, resolution) stay the same.

For most use cases, Standard is the right choice. Switch to Real when your uploads include real-person portraits or face-driven scenes, or Wild when Standard's content review is too strict.

Question 5

How does Mini compare to Seedance 2 Fast and Seedance 2?

Accepted Answer

	Mini	Fast	Pro
Generation Speed	Fastest	Fast	Standard
Credit Cost	Lowest	Low	Higher
Visual Quality	≈ Fast	≈ Mini	Highest
Max Resolution	1080p	1080p	1080p
Wild Mode	✓	✓	✓
Best For	High-volume, cost-sensitive	Balanced everyday use	Premium creative work

Choose Mini when you need fast turnaround and lower costs. Choose Pro when visual fidelity is the top priority.

Question 6

How are credits calculated and deducted?

Accepted Answer

Credits are calculated per second based on resolution and whether you include video input.

Without video input — credits = output duration × per-second rate
With video input — credits = (total input video duration + output duration) × per-second rate (lower rate)

Seedance 2.0 Mini offers roughly 50% lower credit costs compared to Seedance 2 Fast at equivalent settings. The exact cost is always shown on the Submit button before you confirm — no surprises.

⚠️ Annual subscribers and Max Pack users pay at the base 1× rate. Monthly and other non-annual users are charged 1.5× these rates.

When are credits deducted?
Credits are deducted upfront when you submit a task. If the task fails, credits are automatically refunded — no action needed on your part.

Question 7

What durations, resolutions, and aspect ratios are supported?

Accepted Answer

Duration: 4–15 seconds (any whole number)
Resolution: 720p or 1080p
Aspect Ratio: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9, or Adaptive

Adaptive aspect ratio — the model automatically selects the most fitting ratio based on your prompt or reference asset. Ideal when you want the AI to decide.

Prompt language support: Chinese, English, Japanese, Indonesian, Spanish, Portuguese.

Question 8

Can I use outputs commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes — with a Commercial License, all generated content copyrights belong to you.

Plans that include Commercial License:

All Annual plans (Starter, Pro, Studio)
Monthly Studio plan

How to get your license certificate:

Subscribe to an eligible plan
Go to My License page
Download your PDF certificate — it includes your license number, validity period, and granted rights

With the certificate, you can freely use outputs for client work, marketing, advertising, social media, and resale.

Question 9

What should I do if a task fails?

Accepted Answer

Common failure reasons and what to try:

Real person in reference material — Standard mode may reject images or videos with real human faces. Switch to Real mode, or replace with assets from the Avatar Library.
Content policy violation — Prompts with copyrighted characters, explicit, or violent content will be rejected. Revise the prompt.
Audio without visual reference — Audio files must be paired with at least one image or video. Add a reference image or video alongside your audio upload.
Peak congestion — The service may queue tasks during high-traffic periods. Wait a moment and try again.

Credits are automatically refunded for all failed tasks — no need to contact support.

Question 10

Any tips for writing effective Seedance 2.0 Mini prompts?

Accepted Answer

For best results, be specific and descriptive. Key guidelines:

Always describe the subject, action, scene, and mood
In M2V mode, use @1, @2, @3 to reference uploaded assets in the prompt
Use the Avatar Library and Material Library to insert pre-built references without uploading
Specify camera movements (e.g. slow push in, overhead tracking shot) for cinematic control
For audio-guided generation, describe voice tone, music genre, or sound design — and wrap spoken dialogue in quotation marks
Mini excels at multi-shot storytelling — describe each shot in sequence for cinematic narratives

Question 11

What features are not available in Mini?

Accepted Answer

A few advanced features available on Seedance 2 Fast and Seedance 2 are not supported in Seedance 2.0 Mini:

Seed — You cannot set a fixed seed in Mini. Each generation uses a random seed, so results will vary even with the same prompt and settings.
Fixed Lens — Camera lock is not supported; the model will freely choose camera movement.

If any of these features are essential for your workflow, use Seedance 2 Fast or Seedance 2 (highest quality + full feature set).

Question 12

What are Continue from Last Frame and Continue from Video?

Accepted Answer

These features let you create continuous stories by using the output of one generation as the starting point for the next.

Continue from Last Frame
Uses the last frame of your generated video as the first frame of a new generation (Image-to-Video mode). This creates seamless visual continuity between clips — perfect for building multi-scene narratives.

Continue from Video
Uses the entire generated video as a reference asset for a new generation (Media-to-Video mode). This preserves style, motion, and character consistency while giving you more creative freedom.

Both buttons appear automatically after a video is generated. Click one, write a new prompt for the next scene, and generate.
