What is this model best at?

Seedance 2.0 Mini is suited to lightweight drafts, workflow testing, and early-stage concepts where you want to check whether a prompt or scene direction is working.

When should I choose this instead of the other Seedance models?

Choose Mini for initial drafts, workflow checks, and early exploration where you want to validate the idea before committing to a more polished pass. When the composition and action are settled, compare with Seedance 2.0 Fast for a faster-turnaround pass or Seedance 2.0 when final detail or native 4K matters.

Can I use image, video, or audio references?

Use the reference modes and input types shown for the selected mode in VN. In your prompt, explain what each reference should contribute to the scene.

How should I write a prompt for this model?

Describe the subject and main action first, then the setting and one clear camera direction. Add timing, sound, and reference roles only when they affect the result.

What limitations should I expect?

Mini is described in VN as a lightweight option for workflow testing and drafts. Treat the result as a way to evaluate the concept, prompt, and motion direction; review a final pass at the quality and settings needed for delivery. Fine details, complex interactions, and exact timing may still vary.
