Seedance 2.0 Mini FAQ
Mini has its own 480p and 720p rates, a 4–15 second output range, and limits of nine image, three video and three audio references. It is an option for short multimodal drafts. Seedance 2.5 also offers 1080p, longer output and larger reference sets on Rivya.
Every mode requires a prompt of 3 to 20,000 characters after trimming. Text to video accepts no uploads. Frames accepts one starting image or a pair of starting and ending images, with no video or audio. Reference requires at least one uploaded item and allows up to nine images, three videos and three audio files. Use one mode per request.
Upload JPEG/PNG/WebP/GIF images up to 30 MB each, MP4/MOV videos up to 50 MB each, or MP3/WAV audio up to 15 MB per file. Each video or audio file must last 2–15 seconds. Video references can total up to 15 seconds, and audio references have a separate 15-second total limit. Upload through Rivya so the required media metadata can be verified.
Images and reference videos need a width and height of 300–6,000 pixels and an aspect ratio of 0.4–2.5. Reference video also needs 409,600–927,408 pixels per frame and a frame rate of 24–60 fps. These requirements apply to uploaded references, rather than the selected output resolution.
Without reference video, Rivya reserves 3.8 credits per output second at 480p or 8.2 at 720p. With reference video, it uses a rate of 2.4 at 480p or 5 at 720p, multiplied by the verified input-video seconds plus the requested output seconds. Images and audio alone use the no-video formula. Rivya keeps the fractional rate throughout the calculation and rounds the total reservation up once.
Web search works only in Text to video. Turn it off before choosing Frames or Reference: requests in either of those modes are rejected if web search is enabled.
Rivya reserves the calculated credits before generation. When reported usage is valid and no higher than the reservation, it settles the charge and returns any unused reserved credits. Missing, invalid or higher usage goes to reconciliation without an automatic extra debit. A successful video can still be awaiting credit settlement.
Choose Text to video, Frames or Reference, write a prompt of 3–20,000 characters, and set 480p or 720p, aspect ratio and a whole-number duration from 4 to 15 seconds. Generated audio and the content filter are on by default; web search is off.
No. Frames accepts one or two images and rejects video or audio. Choose Reference to combine image, video or audio inputs for the same clip.
Reference mode accepts up to 15 files: nine images, three videos and three audio files. Video and audio each have a separate total-duration limit of 15 seconds.
Yes. The video-input rate is lower, but it applies to the verified input-video seconds plus the requested output seconds. Images and audio alone use the rate for output seconds only. Check the estimate for your selected resolution and references.
Use Mini for 480p or 720p clips up to 15 seconds with smaller reference sets. Consider Seedance 2.5 on Rivya when you need 1080p, up to 30 seconds, automatic duration, a MOV format request or more reference files. Check that model's current inputs and credit estimate before starting.
