Overview
What is Seedance 2 Mini?
Seedance 2 Mini is a ByteDance model available in Starpop. Lower-cost multimodal video generation with text, image, video, and audio inputs. The lowest-cost Seedance 2 route for mixed-input drafts and scalable video variation at 480p or 720p.
Start with Mini when exploring a new multimodal idea or producing many variations under a controlled credit budget. Starpop keeps the model, input mode, duration, format, resolution, and credit choices in one workspace so a team can move from a first test to a publishable asset without rebuilding the brief in another tool.
