Free credits are for a quick preview, not the final video. Use a short duration and lower resolution to check the subject, motion, and prompt. A fuller, more compelling final shot often needs a longer duration and higher supported resolution—use paid credits when your scene needs those settings.

Seedance 2.0 Mini — fast, affordable AI video drafts
Create cost-efficient drafts at 480p or 720p with Seedance 2.0 Mini. Test text prompts, reference images, and clips at lower credit cost, then promote winners to a full render on the flagship model.
On FrameAI, Mini accepts text prompts, up to nine reference images, and up to three reference videos. It creates 4-to-15-second output at 480p or 720p and can generate synchronized sound with the picture. Use Mini to test direction at a lower quoted credit cost, then reuse the prompt and references in a new Seedance 2.0 generation when you need up to 4K. The new result may differ.
Best cost-performance in the Seedance 2.0 family
Text, image, and video inputs - 480p or 720p output
Reuse prompts on Seedance 2.0; each run may differ
Why draft on Mini first
Mini is designed for fast, affordable iteration — test before you commit to a full 4K render.
Lower quoted cost for prompt and framing tests
For the same supported 480p or 720p settings, Mini has a lower configured model rate than Fast or the flagship. Duration, aspect ratio, and video-reference input affect the maximum reservation shown before the run; provider-reported usage can lower the final charge after success.
Text, image, and video guidance with synchronized sound
Use up to nine reference images and three reference videos, choose from seven aspect-ratio options, and generate synchronized sound with the picture. Mini lets you test reference direction at 480p or 720p; each run remains an independent generation.
Reuse your brief for a new 4K generation
Save the selected prompt and reference set, then reuse them in a new Seedance 2.0 generation at 1080p or 4K. Composition, motion, and details may change because switching models starts a separate generation.
When Mini is the right choice
Use Mini for cost-efficient prompt discovery, framing tests, reference direction, and camera ideas at 480p or 720p. Mini has the lowest configured model rate in the Seedance 2.0 family at those resolutions. FrameAI shows the maximum credit reservation before submission; successful jobs can settle lower from provider-reported usage.
Use Seedance 2.0 when you need the highest generation quality or output above 720p. Choose Fast when top-tier quality is not required and you want a balance of generation speed and cost. Generation time still varies with duration, resolution, reference inputs, and provider load.
Use Mini (480p / 720p) for drafts and iteration
Drafts, prompt exploration, internal review, storyboard-replacement work and high-volume A/B variants where the destination is a small feed player anyway.
Use Seedance 2.0 (up to 4K) for final delivery
Anything shipping: paid media, client delivery, hero video on a landing page, and any footage that will be colour-graded, cropped or projected.
Seedance 2.0 Fast - balance generation speed and cost
Seedance 2.0 Fast is the official balance of generation speed and cost when top-tier quality is not required, with output up to 720p. Choose Mini for the best cost-performance, Fast for that speed-and-cost balance, or Seedance 2.0 for the highest quality and output up to 4K.
Ready for full resolution?
Reuse the prompt and references you tested on Mini in a new Seedance 2.0 generation up to 4K. It is a separate model run, so review the new result for differences.
The model is ByteDance's. What FrameAI adds is what makes it usable at work: honest limits, honest billing, and output you are allowed to ship.
Text, images, and video in a single pass
Text, up to 9 reference images, 3 reference videos, and 3 audio references can guide one Seedance 2.0 Mini generation instead of being stitched together afterwards.
Sound generated with the picture
When audio is enabled, Seedance 2.0 Mini can generate footsteps, room tone, impacts, dialogue, and score with the video. Review timing and content before publishing, or switch audio off when the clip needs separate sound design.
Flexible ratios, up to 4K
One prompt covers a 9:16 vertical cut for Reels, a 16:9 master for YouTube, and a 21:9 anamorphic frame for a title sequence. Resolution runs from 480p to 4K, so the same take holds up on a cinema screen and on a phone.
Credits you can predict
The maximum credit reservation is calculated from the selected model, duration, resolution, ratio, and video-reference input, then shown before submission. A successful video job can settle lower from provider-reported usage; confirmed failed jobs return the reservation.
Built for efficient iteration
Use Mini for cost-efficient prompt exploration, Fast when you want a balance of generation speed and cost, and Seedance 2.0 Mini when its longer duration or richer reference inputs fit the shot. Switching models starts a new generation, so results may vary.

Draft with Mini in three steps
Test a prompt on Mini at a lower quoted credit cost, then reuse the prompt and references in a new Seedance 2.0 generation. The final result may differ because every run is independent.
1
Rough it out on Mini at 480p
Pick Seedance 2.0 Mini, set 480p and the shortest duration that shows the idea. Run your prompt three or four ways - change one variable at a time so you learn which word did the work.
2
Lock the prompt and the references
Once a draft points in the right direction, save the wording and reference set you want to reuse. They guide the next run, but they do not lock its composition, motion, or details.
3
Re-run on Seedance 2.0 at full resolution
Switch to Seedance 2.0, reuse the prompt and references, choose 1080p or 4K, and review the new result. The generator shows the maximum credit reservation before submission, successful jobs can settle lower, and the output may differ from the Mini draft.
Where Mini drafts save credits
Every use case below is a volume problem - and Seedance 2.0 Mini is priced to make volume affordable for creators, marketers, and studios.
A/B test ad creatives - generate 20 variants, promote the winners
Performance teams can test multiple hooks at Mini's lower quoted credit cost, review the direction, and then reuse the strongest prompt and references in a new Seedance 2.0 generation up to 4K.
AI-powered animatics and moving storyboards
A moving 720p draft communicates a sequence far better than a still board, while the lower quoted cost supports generating new versions during a client review.
Prompt engineering practice - learn AI video prompting cheaply
Prompting well is a skill built on repetitions. Mini makes those repetitions affordable enough to practice, making it a practical way to improve prompts before a flagship run.
