Lightweight, lowest-cost tier in the Seedance 2.0 family: the fastest and most affordable option, ideal for drafts and high-volume short-form. 480p and 720p only (no 1080p or 4K).
Multimodal video from text, images, audio, and video inputs. Native audio-video sync, strong motion stability, consistent character handling. Outputs up to 4K (3840x2160).
Seedance 2.0 Mini runs through POST /v1/videos/generations. The request returns a job_id right away; poll GET /v1/jobs/{job_id} until the job completes and read the output URLs from the result. Both models are called through the same endpoint. Set model to seedance-2-0-mini or seedance-2-0-pro. Get an API key from the EmpirioLabs dashboard.
