Seedance 2.0 Mini integration

Seedance 2.0 Mini is the most affordable and fastest variant of the Seedance 2.0 family, generating short videos from text or images at 480p and 720p for high-volume, cost-sensitive workflows.
Seedance 2.0 Mini is an AI video generation API that produces short videos from a text prompt (text-to-video) or from one or two reference images (image-to-video). It is the most affordable and fastest variant of the Seedance 2.0 family, available at 480p and 720p with 5 or 10 second durations. A single text prompt is always required; supplying a first-frame image (and optionally a last-frame image_end) switches the model into image-to-video or first-to-last-frame transition mode. Resolution is selected at generation time: there is a dedicated 480p generate endpoint and a dedicated 720p generate endpoint. Task listing and status use a single generic endpoint regardless of the resolution used to create the task.

​
Key capabilities

  • Text-to-video and image-to-video: Generate from a text prompt alone, or guide generation with a first-frame image and optional last-frame image_end
  • First-to-last-frame transitions: Provide both image and image_end to generate a video that transitions between the two frames
  • Resolution by generate endpoint: Dedicated 480p and 720p generate endpoints; resolution is not a body parameter
  • Unified task tracking: One generic list endpoint and one generic status endpoint cover tasks of any resolution
  • Durations: 5 or 10 seconds (default 5)
  • Seven aspect ratios: From ultra-wide film_horizontal_21_9 to ultra-tall film_vertical_9_21, default widescreen_16_9
  • Camera control: Set camera_fixed to true for a static tripod shot or false for natural camera movement
  • Reproducible output: Provide a seed (0 to 4294967295) to repeat results; -1 selects a random seed
  • Safety filtering: Content safety checker is enabled by default via enable_safety_checker
  • Async processing: Webhook notifications or polling for task completion
  • 24-hour delivery: Generated MP4 video is returned via a URL valid for 24 hours

​
Use cases

  • Social media content: Produce vertical social_story_9_16 clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts at low cost
  • High-volume generation: Batch-generate many short videos affordably for testing, previews, and A/B variations
  • Product animation: Animate a product image, or transition between two product shots with first and last frame control
  • Rapid prototyping: Iterate quickly on creative concepts before committing to higher-resolution models
  • Ad variations: Generate multiple aspect ratios and durations from a single concept

API Operations

Generate a video using the 480p or 720p endpoint, then track it with the generic list and status endpoints. Generation returns a task ID for async polling or webhook notification.

POST /v1/ai/video/seedance-2-mini-480p

Generate a 480p video from text or image

POST /v1/ai/video/seedance-2-mini-720p

Generate a 720p video from text or image

GET /v1/ai/video/seedance-2-mini

List all Seedance 2.0 Mini tasks (any resolution)

GET /v1/ai/video/seedance-2-mini/{task-id}

Get task status and result by ID

Parameters

Resolution is determined by the generate endpoint you call (-480p or -720p) and is not a body parameter. The request body is identical for both endpoints.
ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
promptstringYes-Text description of the video, including scene, motion, visual style, and camera movements. Up to 2000 characters
imagestringNo-First-frame image for image-to-video, as a public URL or Base64 string. When provided, the video starts from this image
image_endstringNo-Last-frame image, as a public URL or Base64 string. When provided together with image, the video transitions from the first frame to this frame
durationintegerNo5Video length in seconds: 5 or 10
aspect_ratiostringNowidescreen_16_9Output ratio: film_horizontal_21_9, widescreen_16_9, classic_4_3, square_1_1, traditional_3_4, social_story_9_16, film_vertical_9_21
camera_fixedbooleanNofalseWhen true, the camera stays fixed (tripod shot); when false, natural camera movement may be applied
seedintegerNo-1Random seed for reproducible results (0 to 4294967295). Use -1 for a random seed
enable_safety_checkerbooleanNotrueEnables content safety filtering on the generated video
webhook_urlstringNo-URL for async status notifications when the task completes

Frequently Asked Questions

Seedance 2.0 Mini is the most affordable and fastest variant of the Seedance 2.0 family. You submit a text prompt (and optionally a first-frame image and last-frame image_end) to a resolution-specific generate endpoint and receive a task ID immediately. Poll the generic GET status endpoint or supply a webhook_url to be notified when the task completes, then download the MP4 video from the returned URL (valid for 24 hours).
Resolution is selected by the generate endpoint, not by a body parameter. Call POST /v1/ai/video/seedance-2-mini-480p for 480p or POST /v1/ai/video/seedance-2-mini-720p for 720p. Task listing and status use the same generic endpoints regardless of resolution. Seedance 2.0 Mini supports 480p and 720p only.
No. Status and listing are generic: GET /v1/ai/video/seedance-2-mini lists all tasks and GET /v1/ai/video/seedance-2-mini/{task-id} returns the status of a single task, whether it was generated at 480p or 720p.
The prompt field is always required. For text-to-video, send only the prompt and the video is generated entirely from your description. For image-to-video, also send an image to use as the first frame; the video then starts from that image. To generate a transition video, send both image (first frame) and image_end (last frame).
Seedance 2.0 Mini supports 5 or 10 second videos. The default is 5 seconds. Duration is an integer value.
Seven aspect ratios are available: film_horizontal_21_9 (21:9), widescreen_16_9 (16:9, default), classic_4_3 (4:3), square_1_1 (1:1), traditional_3_4 (3:4), social_story_9_16 (9:16), and film_vertical_9_21 (9:21).
Provide image and image_end either as a publicly accessible URL or as a Base64-encoded string. image sets the first frame; adding image_end produces a first-to-last-frame transition.
Yes. Provide a fixed seed value (from 0 to 4294967295) together with the same prompt and parameters to get consistent results. Use -1 (the default) for a random seed on each request.
Seedance 2.0 Mini is optimized for fast, affordable generation. Poll the GET task endpoint or provide a webhook_url to be notified on completion. The result MP4 is delivered via a URL that remains valid for 24 hours.
Rate limits depend on your subscription tier. See the Rate Limits page for current limits by plan.
Seedance 2.0 Mini is the most affordable variant of the Seedance 2.0 family. Pricing varies by resolution and duration. See the Pricing page for current rates and credit costs.

Best practices

  • Resolution choice: Use the -480p endpoint for the lowest cost and fastest generation, and the -720p endpoint when you need more detail
  • Prompt writing: Be specific about the scene, subjects, motion, camera movement, lighting, and visual style for better results
  • Image-to-video: Provide a clear, high-quality first-frame image; add image_end only when you want a transition between two frames
  • Camera control: Set camera_fixed to true for stable product or talking-head shots, and false to let the model add natural motion
  • Reproducibility: Fix the seed while iterating on a prompt so you can compare changes consistently
  • Duration selection: Start at 5 seconds for fast iterations, then switch to 10 seconds for final outputs
  • Production integration: Use webhooks instead of polling for scalable applications
  • Result retrieval: Download the output promptly, as the delivery URL is valid for 24 hours
  • Kling 3.0 Turbo: Speed-optimized Kling model with 720p and 1080p generate endpoints
  • WAN 2.7: Alternative text-to-video and image-to-video model with multi-shot sequences
  • Kling 3: Higher-fidelity Kling 3.0 model for premium output
