Lower-credit model guide
Seedance 2.0 Mini
Mini is the lower-credit 2.0 option for short takes at 480p or 720p. Compare its actual settings and costs here, then try a prompt with Mini already selected below. The example clips in the generator are illustrative motion studies, not verified Mini output.
What Mini supports
The workspace checks these limits before submitting. Mini can start from text, one or two frames, or supported media references; 1080p output, drafts, video editing and extension are unavailable for this variant.
- Output length
- 4–15s
- Output resolutions
- 480p / 720p
- Reference file count
- Up to 9 images, 3 videos, 3 audio clips
- Draft, edit and extend
- Not available in Mini
Reference video and audio duration may each total up to 15 seconds. A provider can still reject an unsupported combination of otherwise valid inputs.
Mini credits compared with 2.0 and Fast
Credits for one 5-second text-to-video clip, with no reference video or audio. The values come from the same quote calculation used by the generator. A dash means that resolution is unavailable for that model.
| Model | 480p | 720p | 1080p |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 Mini | 2 | 3 | Not available |
| Seedance 2.0 Fast | 5 | 8 | Not available |
| Seedance 2.0 | 10 | 15 | 30 |
At 720p, a 5-second Mini clip costs 3 credits with no media references, 6 with an audio reference, or 8 with a 5-second reference video. The video case also bills the input length; adding video and audio together applies the reference multiplier only once.
The listed $9.90 Plus credit pack contains 60 credits. If every request uses exactly the 5-second, 720p Mini setting above with no video or audio references, that is up to 20 complete clips. Different settings change the count.
Seedance pricing and credit packsA practical way to use Mini
Choose the output first
Pick 480p or 720p and a duration from 4 to 15 seconds. If the project needs 1080p, switch to standard Seedance 2.0 instead.
Check the quote
Reference video length, audio and batch size can raise the total. Read the live credit quote before submitting, then review each result in your history.
Create with Mini selected
The form starts in text-to-video mode with Seedance 2.0 Mini selected. Change the mode or model if your input needs different controls. Generating a clip requires available credits.
