Common Questions

Frequently asked

How does Seedance 2 Mini compare to Seedance 2 Pro?

Mini is approximately 2x faster and significantly cheaper than Seedance 2 Pro, making it ideal for drafts and bulk generation. Pro offers higher visual fidelity for final-quality output.

What resolutions are supported?

480p and 720p. 480p is cheaper; 720p delivers better quality.

What is high bitrate mode?

Enabling high_bitrate produces a higher-quality video file with better compression fidelity. This routes the job through Kinovi and produces a larger output file.

What is the maximum prompt length?

Prompts can be up to 20000 characters. Write detailed scene descriptions for best results.

Does generate_audio add cost?

No. The generate_audio flag is included at no extra charge — it controls whether the model outputs AI-generated ambient audio alongside the video.
