Scene study: a jellyfish at a desk · Prompt and scene notes
A small translucent lavender jellyfish floats gently inside a round glass aquarium on a wooden desk. Its bell contracts once and delicate tentacles follow through the water. Soft evening window light, an uncluttered cream wall, soothing lilac reflections, medium close shot with a static camera. One continuous five-second shot. No people, no writing, no logos, no watermark.
The aquarium illustration suggests a Seedance 2.0 Mini brief with one moving subject in a stable setting. Watch the jellyfish’s movement and the glass outline across the whole take. This standard Wan 3.0 illustration does not establish the Mini variant’s output quality or cost.
These illustrations were generated with standard Wan 3.0. They are not Seedance outputs or a comparison of model quality.
Seedance 2.0 Mini · Pricing
Seedance 2.0 Mini uses its own live video-token rates. Per-second estimates assume 16:9 output at 24 fps; review the chosen duration and input material when budgeting your scene.
Current ratesEstimated USD / billable second
| Resolution | Reference video | Official price | Funny AI price | You save |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | No video | $0.0316 | 10% | |

Estimates use 16:9 output at 24 fps. Other aspect ratios and actual output dimensions can change the cost.
Without reference video, only output seconds count. With reference video, input and output seconds count; billable input time is at least two-thirds of the output duration, rounded up to a whole second.

Input and output video tokens determine the final cost. Failed requests are not charged.
Reference video adds input usage and a minimum threshold to Seedance 2.0 Mini. Audio has no separate rate tier, and the model name does not determine the cost of finishing a project. Check the current estimate for your actual request.
What is Seedance 2.0 Mini?
Seedance 2.0 Mini is a separate ByteDance video model for short scenes from text and media inputs. It supports clips from four to fifteen seconds, or automatic duration, with output at 480p or 720p. Generated sound is optional, so you can prepare a scene with audio or add your soundtrack in a later edit.
A quiet environmental detail is one brief to explore with Seedance 2.0 Mini: a curtain moving in window light, or a jellyfish drifting inside a fixed glass aquarium. Decide what should change and what should remain stable. That distinction gives you a useful way to judge the full clip before revising the prompt.
Documented model ID
bytedance/seedance-2.0-miniSeedance 2.0 Mini accepts up to 9 reference images, 3 video clips and 3 audio clips. An audio reference must be accompanied by a reference image or video.
The settings below follow this model’s specification and the controls available on Funny AI. Check the integration guide for input requirements.
Shape a focused scene
Begin with an image
Supply Seedance 2.0 Mini with a first frame when the opening composition matters. An optional last frame can describe the destination, keeping both endpoints within the same frame-based request.
Use references for different cues
Give Seedance 2.0 Mini separate examples of appearance, movement or sound in reference mode. Explain the role of each source and keep these inputs separate from the first/last-frame mode.
Plan the sound with the picture
Generate sound with Seedance 2.0 Mini or choose silence for a later edit. Listen to the complete clip and check that the audio fits the timing you want to keep.
Compose the scene in your browser
Use the Seedance 2.0 Mini Playground to choose the starting material and output settings. Check the current estimate and availability before submitting a generation.
Select Seedance 2.0 Mini in your app
Select the Seedance 2.0 Mini identifier in your app and keep the returned task ID. Changing another model’s resolution does not switch that request to Mini.
Small scenes for a specific placement
Seedance 2.0 Mini atmospheric inserts
Explore a modest environmental movement with Seedance 2.0 Mini, such as fabric lifting or light passing over water. Keep the rest of the setting quiet so the finished shot has a clear visual focus.
Seedance 2.0 Mini moving backgrounds
Use Seedance 2.0 Mini to explore a background with room for text or interface elements you will add later. Review the entire take for changes that could distract from that overlay.
A visual idea before a larger edit
Try one scene with Seedance 2.0 Mini before expanding it into a sequence. Define what would make the clip useful, so the next request changes a specific part of the result rather than repeating an open-ended prompt.
Prepare your first small scene
- 01
Pick the visual anchor
Tell Seedance 2.0 Mini which subject or setting must remain recognizable. Use a reference or opening image when that visual direction is already available.
- 02
Add one movement
Give Seedance 2.0 Mini a single action or camera move with a purpose. Keep the first test small enough that the whole result can be judged against the brief.
- 03
Choose the size and review cost
Set the Seedance 2.0 Mini resolution and duration for your placement. Check the estimate after including any reference footage, since input video also affects usage.
- 04
Revise the part that matters
Review Seedance 2.0 Mini for unwanted cuts, shape changes or distracting motion. Save the task and settings, then adjust the instruction that addresses the specific issue you found.
Connect Seedance 2.0 Mini to your app
The Seedance 2.0 Mini API guide describes its input fields and media rules. Submit once and save the accepted task ID, then retrieve the same task for status and the completed clip. Resume checking that ID after an interrupted status request.
Integration guideMini and Fast: choose from your own results
Seedance 2.0 Mini and Fast share duration limits, output sizes and reference counts, with separate model identities and live rates. Compare the same brief at matching settings and consider how many usable clips each produces for your project.
| Model | Output options | Funny AI price |
|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 Fast | 480p / 720p | From ≈$0.0506 / second · 16:9 |
| Seedance 2.0 Mini | 480p / 720p | From ≈$0.0316 / second · 16:9 |
Seedance 2.0 Mini boundaries
- Seedance 2.0 Mini offers 480p and 720p output. It does not provide Draft mode or the larger output tiers available on standard 2.0.
- Seedance 2.0 Mini reference videos total at most fifteen seconds, with a separate fifteen-second limit for audio. An audio reference needs a visual reference alongside it.
- First/last frames and mixed references are separate modes for Seedance 2.0 Mini. This integration does not expose editing, extension or a separate final-frame image output.
Keep each small test informative
Funny AI displays Seedance 2.0 Mini rates for the inputs you select, so the cost is tied to the request you are preparing.
Review Seedance 2.0 Mini in the Playground before moving the brief into code. Its API guide describes the same model and supported inputs.
Keep the Seedance 2.0 Mini task ID with the prompt for later review. Your application and Playground spend the same account balance.

Seedance 2.0 Fast vs Mini: compare the same briefSeedance 2.0 Mini questions
Is Seedance 2.0 Mini a setting of the standard model?
No. Seedance 2.0 Mini has its own identifier and rate table. Select it explicitly in the Playground or API request; lowering standard 2.0’s resolution changes that model’s settings rather than selecting Mini.
Which sizes and lengths does Seedance 2.0 Mini offer?
Seedance 2.0 Mini offers 480p or 720p, with an integer duration from four to fifteen seconds or automatic duration. Output is MP4 at 24 fps. The Playground begins with five seconds at 720p, which you can adjust around the action your scene needs.
Can Seedance 2.0 Mini combine frames and audio references?
No. Seedance 2.0 Mini frame mode is separate from the mixed reference collection. For reference audio, choose reference mode and include an image or video reference. Use a first frame and optional last frame when you want images to define the shot’s endpoints instead.
Is Seedance 2.0 Mini always the lowest-cost choice?
The cost of a Seedance 2.0 Mini project depends on duration, output size, reference-video usage and the number of generations you need. Compare current estimates for matching settings, then evaluate the usable results. A model’s name or token rate alone does not determine the final budget.
Did Seedance 2.0 Mini generate the aquarium clip?
No. The five-second aquarium illustration was generated with standard Wan 3.0 at 480p, as its caption states. You can adapt that scene for Seedance 2.0 Mini, but the displayed clip is not evidence of Mini performance or a comparison with Fast.
