Seedance 2.0 Mini

ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0 Mini lightweight video generation model with multimodal reference, video editing, extension, audio generation, and web search.

Seedance 2.0 Mini is the lightweight model in ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0 family, available through AnyFast API. It keeps the full Seedance 2.0 multimodal toolkit — text-to-video, image-to-video, multimodal reference input, video editing, video extension, and synchronized audio generation — while delivering faster generation at lower cost, making it well suited for high-volume scenarios such as e-commerce content, marketing assets, and UGC creation.

Workflow

1. POST /v1/video/generations  →  task_id

Multimodal reference (image + video + audio)

Reference assets in the prompt with @image1, @video1, @audio1 — numbered per media type by their order in the content array.

Important: Assets must be passed in strict order: text, image_url, video_url, audio_url. Do not reorder them — doing so may cause errors. When multiple assets are included, do not mix in other asset types.

Note: First frame, first+last frame, and multimodal reference are mutually exclusive — do not mix them in the same request.

Referencing assets in prompts

Inside the text prompt, you can refer to media items using @<type><N> placeholders — numbered per media type by their order in the content array:

Placeholder	Refers to
@image1, @image2, …	The 1st, 2nd, … image_url item
@video1, @video2, …	The 1st, 2nd, … video_url item
@audio1, @audio2, …	The 1st, 2nd, … audio_url item

Example: "The character from @image1 walks through the scene in @video1 with @audio1 as background".

Note: Assets must be passed in strict order: text, image_url, video_url, audio_url. Do not reorder them — doing so may cause errors. When multiple assets are included, do not mix in other asset types.
