Seedance 2.0 Mini is an AI video generation tool for short-video creation, focused on quickly and cost-effectively turning text prompts and reference images into HD MP4 short clips. According to official information, it is suitable for scenarios such as advertising, social posts, product demos, launch events, and creative testing.
Main capabilities
- Text-to-video and image-to-video: Input a text prompt or upload a reference image to generate a short clip with a clear subject, motion, camera direction, and style. Image-to-video mode can animate product images, characters, posters, or scenes while preserving visual anchors.
- Low-cost HD generation: Offers 720p and 1080p options (where supported), allowing teams to test more ideas before committing a production budget.
- Transparent credits: Before generation, you can view the duration, resolution, and credit consumption, making it easy to control the cost of each creative test.
- Prompt templates: Provides preset workflows inspired by Seedance templates, allowing users to select a template, reuse long prompts, and start from stronger video ideas. Examples include: generate a 3x3 Instagram-style reference grid and turn it into a 15-second cinematic vlog video; generate a romantic couple moment and render a 15-second rainy-night dance video; generate a hyper-realistic fan broadcast still image and create a stadium crowd short clip; generate a 32-panel Get-Ready-With-Me storyboard and render a 15-second outfit-of-the-day routine.
- AI image generation: Supports text-to-image and image-to-image, used to generate auxiliary visual assets such as thumbnails, prompt references, ad concepts, storyboards, and product ideas, with support for image variation workflows and multiple image resolutions.
- Workspace features: Provides a centralized workspace for prompt-to-video, image-to-video, prompt templates, credits, history, and MP4 export.
