# Seedance 2.0 Mini

Seedance 2.0 Mini is a lighter variant in ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 video model family. It is positioned for teams that want the cinematic prompt understanding and multimodal generation style of Seedance 2.0 in a smaller, more iteration-friendly package. It is suited to fast concepting, quicker turnaround, and broader throughput when the full flagship model is not required.

- **Status**: coming-soon
- **Creator**: ByteDance
- **Release Date**: June 23, 2026
- **Capabilities**: Text to Video, Image to Video, Checkpoint

## Compatibility & Validation

Either provide `inputs.frameImages`, or specify `width/height`.

---

Inside `inputs`, `frameImages` cannot be used with `referenceImages`, `referenceVideos`, or `referenceAudios`.

---

`resolution` cannot be used with `width/height`.

---

When `resolution` is provided, `inputs.frameImages` is required.

---

`width` and `height` must be used together.

---

The following dimension combinations are supported:

| Configuration | Dimensions |
| --- | --- |
| `480p (16:9)` | `864x496` |
