Four Ways to Start a Seedance 2.0 Mini Clip
Why Make Videos with Seedance 2.0 Mini on Yovid
- On the Free Plan, with No Watermark: Sign up without a card and spend your free credits on Mini at 480p or 720p, with clean downloads.
- Half the Credits of Seedance 2.0: About 1.16 credits a second at 480p and 2.5 at 720p, half the Seedance 2.0 rate at both resolutions.
- Up to 15 Seconds, with Sound: Any length from 4 to 15 seconds, with voices, effects and music generated alongside the picture.
- Start from One Frame or Two: Animate a photo from its first frame, or add a last frame to decide where the shot ends.
- 9 Reference Images and 3 Clips in One Prompt: Combine product, character, location and motion references, and tag each one in the prompt with @.
- The Seedance 2.0 Toolkit at a Lower Price: Mini shares the Seedance 2.0 feature set and trades some of the quality ceiling for cost.
- Every Setting in One Place: Seven aspect ratios, two resolutions, 4–15 seconds, sound on or off, and text, frame or reference inputs.
On the Free Plan, with No Watermark
Seedance 2.0 Mini is the one Seedance 2.0 model Yovid opens to free accounts, and nothing about it is held back there: both resolutions, the full 4–15 second range, sound, frames and references all work on free credits. Paid options lower the per-second rate and, depending on the plan, add commercial use or parallel jobs; they unlock no extra Mini features.
Free generations are stored without a watermark, so a clip you like is ready to share or cut into an edit as it is.
| Plan access | Free, Lite, Pro, Premium and every credit pack |
|---|---|
| Resolution on Free | 480p and 720pMini’s full range; it has no 1080p mode on any plan. |
| Watermark | NoneFree-plan videos download clean. |
| Sign-up | Free credits, no credit card |
| Parallel jobs | One at a time on FreePro runs 4 at once, Premium 8. |
| Commercial use | Credit packs, Pro, Premium and yearly plans |
Half the Credits of Seedance 2.0
ByteDance built Mini to bring Seedance 2.0-style generation down to about half the cost, and Yovid passes that through: a second of Mini costs half of the same second on Seedance 2.0.
That makes it the model to burn through ideas with. Ten 5-second drafts at 480p cost about 60 credits; keep the one that works, then decide whether it needs a bigger model at all.
| 480p | About 1.16 credits per secondA 5-second clip is about 6 credits. |
|---|---|
| 720p | 2.5 credits per secondA 5-second clip is about 13 credits; a full 15 seconds about 38. |
| With a reference video | About 0.71 (480p) or 1.53 (720p) per secondCounted on the reference clip’s seconds plus the output’s. |
| Seedance 2.0, for comparison | 2.32 (480p) or 5 (720p) credits per second |
| Plan discounts | 10% off on Lite, 30% on Pro, 40% on PremiumThe rates above are credit-pack base rates. |
Up to 15 Seconds, with Sound
Mini renders one continuous clip of 4 to 15 seconds at 24 frames per second, enough for a hook, a product reveal and an end beat in a single take.
Sound is on by default. Write what should be heard, such as a spoken line in quotes, the hiss of a pan or a sting under the reveal, and it comes out synced to the action. Switch sound off when you plan to lay your own track.
| Length | 4 to 15 seconds |
|---|---|
| Frame rate | 24 fps |
| Sound | On by defaultVoice, effects and music; switch it off per generation. |
Start from One Frame or Two
Upload an image as the first frame and Mini moves the scene on from there, keeping the subject, outfit and light you already approved. Add a second image as the last frame and the clip travels between the two, the simplest way to control a reveal, a transformation or a camera move.
Leave the aspect ratio on adaptive and Mini fits the frame to your image, so a vertical product shot stays vertical.
| First frame | One imageThe clip opens on it. |
|---|---|
| First and last frame | Two imagesThe clip moves from the first to the last. |
| Aspect ratio | Adaptive or fixedAdaptive lets Mini match the frame to your image. |
9 Reference Images and 3 Clips in One Prompt
Switch to references and Mini takes up to 9 images and 3 video clips in one generation. No other model on Yovid’s free plan accepts reference images or reference video.
Give each file one job and tag it in the prompt by typing @: the product from one image, the room from another, the camera move from a clip. Reference clips can run 2 to 15 seconds each.
| Reference images | Up to 9 |
|---|---|
| Reference videos | Up to 32–15 seconds and up to 50 MB each; very small clips (under about 0.4 megapixels) are rejected. |
| Tagging | Type @ in the promptImages are numbered first, then videos. |
| Audio references | Not available for Mini on Yovid |
The Seedance 2.0 Toolkit at a Lower Price
ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0 family has three members: Seedance 2.0 for the highest quality, 2.0 Fast for a balance of speed and cost, and 2.0 Mini for the lowest cost. ByteDance’s Volcano Engine docs describe their features as essentially the same; the choice is quality against price.
So a prompt and a set of references built on Mini carry over to the bigger Seedance models on Yovid. Find the idea on Mini, then rerun the winner on Seedance 2.0 or 2.5 when the final needs 1080p.
| Seedance 2.0 Mini | 480p or 720p, 4–15 sFree plan and up; 2.5 credits per second at 720p. |
|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 | 480p to 1080p, 4–15 sLite and up or a credit pack (1080p on Pro, Premium or a pack); 5 credits per second at 720p. |
| Seedance 2.5 | 480p to 1080p, 4–30 sAdds edit and extend modes and takes up to 30 images and 10 clips as references. |

Choose the ratio for where the clip will run before you write the prompt: 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube and the web, 1:1, 4:3 or 3:4 for feeds and product pages, 21:9 for a cinematic strip.
| Length | 4 to 15 seconds |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 480p or 720p |

Who Seedance 2.0 Mini Works Best For
ByteDance aims Mini at high-volume work: e-commerce content, batches of marketing assets, UGC and effects clips. These are the jobs where a lower price per try pays off:
- E-commerce sellers: Short clips for listings and product pages, started from the product photo you already have.
- Performance marketers: Several versions of an ad’s first three seconds, so the hook is tested before the media budget is.
- Social and UGC creators: Vertical 9:16 clips with sound for a daily posting schedule, without flagship prices per post.
- Effects and template makers: Short transformation clips built from a first and a last frame.
- First-time AI video makers: A free place to learn prompts, frames and references before spending credits on a bigger model.

Credits are base credit-pack rates for a 5-second clip at 720p and follow Yovid’s live pricing; subscribers pay less per second. Of these five models, only Seedance 2.0 Mini runs on the free plan.

Seedance 2.0 Mini Starter Prompts
ByteDance has not published sample prompts for Mini, so these are starter prompts we wrote for the short, sound-on clips it is built for. Open one in the generator and swap in your own product, place or person.
Unboxing hook
Text to video · 9:16 · 8 sTry this promptVertical 9:16, 8 seconds, a bright kitchen counter in morning light. Hands slide a matte white box toward the camera, lift the lid in one smooth motion and reveal wireless earbuds in a charging case. Quick push-in to a close-up as the case clicks open and a soft LED glows. Sound: cardboard rustle, a crisp click, a short upbeat synth sting on the reveal.
Night-market grill
Text to video · 16:9 · 6 sTry this prompt16:9, 6 seconds, a night-market food stall under warm tungsten light with drifting smoke. Close-up of a cook turning skewers on a charcoal grill, sparks lifting as sauce is brushed on in one stroke. Slow sideways dolly along the grill, shallow depth of field. Sound: loud sizzle, crackling charcoal, distant crowd chatter.
Photo to motion
First frame · adaptive · 5 sTry this promptUse the uploaded photo as the first frame and keep the person, outfit and background exactly as they are. She turns her head toward the camera, smiles and tucks her hair behind her ear while a light breeze moves the curtains behind her. Gentle handheld drift, natural daylight. Sound: soft room tone and birdsong outside.
Product in a new setting
References · 1:1 · 10 sTry this promptSquare 1:1, 10 seconds. The sneaker from @image1 rests on a mossy rock in the forest from @image2, with morning mist and shafts of sunlight. The camera orbits the shoe in one slow half circle as dew drops catch the light, then settles on a side view of the logo. Sound: birdsong, light wind, one warm piano note at the end.
