Seedance 2.0 Mini workspace
Seedance 2.0 Mini for short video drafts
Create 4 to 15 second videos at 480p or 720p, with a credit estimate before generation.
Use Mini to make the next decision smaller
Mini is useful when the open question is narrow: whether the camera should track or hold, whether a hook reads in a vertical crop, or whether a prompt needs less detail. The page keeps the model fixed so each result is easier to compare with the next one.
A Mini draft loop
Make a short clip you can inspect, then decide whether the next pass belongs in Mini, Fast, or Standard.
- 01
Pick one shot question
Test a single camera move, a pacing beat, or a prompt rewrite instead of a complete campaign concept.
- 02
Keep the settings readable
Choose 480p or 720p and a short duration that lets you inspect the action without adding extra beats.
- 03
Choose the next workspace
Keep refining in Mini, use Fast for another short test, or move to Standard when the output needs 1080p or 4K.

What to review before publishing
A completed task still needs a full review. Watch the clip before relying on it in a published edit.
Occlusion
When subjects cross in front of one another, continuity can break around the overlap.
Fast interactions
Hands, objects, and several moving subjects need scene-by-scene review when the action is quick.
Physical cause and effect
Motion, contact, and materials can look inconsistent from one part of a clip to the next.
Generated lettering
Small text and symbols can change between frames. Add final readable copy in an editor after review.
Published Mini examples
Try these examples to explore short video ideas. Each sample is one possible result, not a guarantee for every prompt.
POV Perfume Unbox
Prompt
POV first-person product ad: two hands tear open a matte black gift box in slow motion, lift the lid, and reveal a minimalist glass perfume bottle. Fingers raise the bottle toward the camera so the label area catches soft studio light. Vertical-friendly framing or 16:9 hero crop, subtle handheld realism, luxury commercial look, shallow depth of field, clean reflections, photoreal, no readable brand text, no logos, no watermark, no subtitles.

Luxury Watch Orbit
Prompt
Use the provided image as the exact first frame and product identity. A premium wristwatch floats against a pure black background, slowly rotating while suspended water droplets catch the light. Single top spotlight, extreme macro detail, jewelry-commercial aesthetic, slow orbital camera, high-end look, preserve exact product design, no text, no logos, no watermark.

Mini prompt starters
Use each starter as a first pass, then adjust the part of the scene that needs a clearer result.
Product move
9:16 · 720p · 5 seconds
Vertical close-up of a small glass bottle on a matte table. A hand rotates the bottle once, then leaves the frame. Soft side light catches the edge of the glass. The camera stays still. No readable text.
Pacing check
16:9 · 720p · 5 seconds
Wide shot of a courier stepping from a quiet subway platform into morning light. The camera follows for one smooth move and stops as the courier reaches the doorway. Keep the background movement restrained.
First-frame transition
9:16 · 480p · 5 seconds
Start from the supplied room photo. The camera pans slowly from the doorway to the window as daylight grows warmer. Keep the furniture layout stable and end before the camera reaches the wall.
Dynamic credit estimate
The credit estimate changes with the model, duration, resolution, aspect ratio, and video input. Review the estimate before generating.
