Seedance 2 Mini AI Generator
Generated on PixelDojo with Seedance 2 Mini. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
Seedance 2 Mini costs 1 credit per second at 480p or 2 credits per second at 720p, whichever resolution you pick. We turned a product still into a 5 second clip at 480p for 5 credits, and it took about 248 seconds to come back on August 26, 2026. This page covers what that clip looked like, what Mini gives up against the Fast and High tiers of Seedance 2, and when to skip it.

Seedance 2 Mini
What Seedance 2 Mini actually does for the price
What we ran
We sent a studio photo of wireless earbuds in an open charging case to Seedance 2 Mini in image-to-video mode, with the prompt: a slow cinematic camera orbit around the case, soft studio lighting shifts, the lid opening gently to reveal the earbuds, product commercial style. Settings: 480p, 5 second duration, the cheapest combination Mini accepts.
What we saw in the clip
The case was already open in the source photo, so the clip did not show a lid opening. What it did do was orbit: the camera swings from a high three-quarter angle down toward a lower, more frontal view over the 5 seconds, and the studio background light shifts from a left highlight to a more centered one. The earbuds kept their shape and position with no warping.
Where Mini is limited
Mini caps out at 480p or 720p. There is no 1080p or 4K option, and duration tops out at 15 seconds against the same 5, 10, or 15 second choices the Fast and High tiers offer. If you need a higher resolution delivery, you have to move up a tier.
Half the price of Fast, same shape
Fast costs 2 credits per second at 480p and 4 at 720p, exactly double Mini's rate. Both tiers accept the same prompt, mode, resolution, and duration fields, so switching between them in the API is a one-word change to which apiId you call.
Native audio track
Seedance 2 (and its Mini and High tiers) generates a synchronized audio track alongside the video by default. We did not evaluate the audio track specifically in this run, only the visual result.
One product photo, one prompt, 5 credits. The clip came back in about 248 seconds with the camera doing exactly what we asked.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Seedance 2 Mini
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
1 credit per second at 480p
2 credits per second at 720p. A 5 second clip at 480p is 5 credits total, with no extra charge for image-to-video mode over text-to-video.
About 248 seconds, measured
Timed from submission to the finished file on August 26, 2026, for a 5 second 480p image-to-video clip.
Camera motion followed the prompt
The orbit and lighting shift we asked for both showed up, with the earbuds staying geometrically consistent through the full clip.
How It Works
How we ran it, so you can repeat it:
Pick the Mini variant on purpose
Seedance 2, Seedance 2 High, and Seedance 2 Mini are three separate apiId values on the same tool. Calling seedance-2-mini is what sets the price to 1 credit per second at 480p instead of Fast's 2.
Set mode to image-to-video and pass your still
We passed our earbuds product photo as image_url with mode set to image-to-video, so the clip started from that exact frame.
Keep resolution and duration at their floor
480p and 5 seconds is the cheapest combination Mini accepts. Ours cost 5 credits and took about 248 seconds.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Seedance 2 Mini
What does Seedance 2 Mini cost?
1 credit per second of output at 480p, 2 credits per second at 720p. A 5 second 480p clip is 5 credits. There is no separate charge for using an image as the first frame instead of a text prompt.
How fast is Seedance 2 Mini?
About 248 seconds in our August 26, 2026 run for a 5 second 480p image-to-video clip, measured from submission to finished file. Treat that as typical, since queue load moves real turnaround around.
How is Mini different from Seedance 2 Fast or High?
Mini, Fast, and High share the same prompt, mode, resolution, and duration fields, so the request shape does not change. Mini runs 1 credit per second at 480p against Fast's 2, and it caps at 720p with no 1080p or 4K option, which only the High tier unlocks.
Can Seedance 2 Mini animate a still image?
Yes. Set mode to image-to-video and pass image_url alongside your prompt, and the clip starts from that frame. That is what we did for this test.
How do I call it from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/seedance-2-mini/run with your API key, a prompt, and mode set to image-to-video with an image_url if you are animating a photo. It is the same request shape and the same key as every other model in the catalog.
When should I skip Mini and pay for Seedance 2.5 instead?
Seedance 2.5 runs longer clips, up to 30 seconds in one request, and adds native audio in 11 languages plus reference-image and reference-video inputs that Mini does not accept. If your job fits in 15 seconds and 480p or 720p is enough, Mini is the cheaper way to get there.
