Seedance 2 Mini: Text & Image to Video Online
Bottom line
The lowest-cost door into Seedance 2 — full 4–15 s durations and 21:9 support at 480p or 720p. Start from a prompt or a still image in the Image to Video tool; VdoBloom shows the exact credit cost before each Seedance 2 Mini run, with no separate Seedance account.
Every generation you throw away costs something, and Seedance 2 Mini is ByteDance's answer for the throwaway-heavy stages of video work. VdoBloom's catalog lists it plainly as the cheapest and fastest member of the Seedance 2 family, and it gets there with one deliberate cap: output is 480p or 720p only.
The rest of the family DNA is intact. Durations run from 4 to 15 seconds in one-second steps, and all six aspect ratios are available, including 21:9 — so even at Mini's resolutions you can rough out cinema-wide framing that will survive a move up to the flagship. Both text-to-video and image-to-video are supported from the same page.
Where Mini fits is volume. B-roll variations, animatic passes, prompt experiments, learning the craft — the work where you need twenty clips more than you need one perfect clip. Credit costs sit at the low end of the family and are always displayed before you generate, so a long experimental session stays inside budget.
What creators use Seedance 2 Mini for
- Bulk-generate b-roll variations for a social content calendar without draining the credit balance.
- Rough out 21:9 animatics for a pitch deck at 480p before any flagship renders.
- Practice prompt writing on real video output where each miss costs the least of any Seedance model.

Frequently asked questions
What do I give up compared with Seedance 2 and Seedance 2 Fast?
Against the flagship, you lose the 1080p and 4K tiers — Mini stops at 720p. Against Fast, the resolution tiers are the same, but the catalog positions Mini as the cheapest and fastest of the three. Durations and all six aspect ratios are identical across the family.
Does Mini support the full 4–15 second range?
Yes. Like the rest of the Seedance 2 family, duration is selectable in one-second steps anywhere from 4 to 15 seconds, in both text-to-video and image-to-video modes.
How much does a Seedance 2 Mini generation cost?
It is billed in VdoBloom credits and is the lowest-cost Seedance option in the catalog. The exact amount depends on the duration and resolution you select and is displayed before every generation.
What are Seedance 2 Mini's content rules?
Mini uses MODERATE filtering, the same standard moderation as Seedance 2 and Seedance 2 Fast. Typical creative and commercial prompts pass; explicit material is refused.
