What is Seedance 2.0 Mini, and where can you run it?

Seedance 2.0 Mini is one of the Seedance 2.0 models: CapCut lists it as "Dreamina Seedance 2.0 Mini" for text-to-video and image-to-video, and fal lists it as an API endpoint. On Sume it is the model id seedance-2-mini, called through POST /v1/videos.

Vendor facts below come from CapCut's and fal's own pages, read 2026-09-29. Sume facts come from the Video generation docs and Sume's pricing code.

Where is Seedance 2.0 Mini listed?

Each place uses its own name and its own price unit, so compare the columns rather than assuming one number.

What can Seedance 2.0 Mini do on Sume?

Sume's catalog code gives seedance-2-mini the same capability block as seedance-2 and seedance-2-fast: text-to-video, image-to-video with an end frame, image, video and audio references, and audio. Clips run 4 to 15 seconds. The docs say audio and video references are honored by the Seedance 2.x models. The docs name 1080p for seedance-2 and do not mention it for Mini, so read GET /v1/videos/models before you ask for it.

How do I call Seedance 2.0 Mini?

Send the bare id as model. Sume reserves the estimated cost at submit.

curl -X POST https://api.sume.com/v1/videos \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SUME_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "seedance-2-mini",
    "prompt": "A ceramic mug on a wooden desk, steam rising, soft morning light",
    "duration": 5,
    "resolution": "720p",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
  }'

What does a Mini clip cost through Sume?

Sume computes the price from the provider list rate for the clip's resolution, aspect ratio and length, multiplies it by 1.25, and reserves that amount when you submit. At 720p and 16:9 that is about $0.19 per second, so a 10-second clip reserves about ten times that. The agent fee is separate and on by default. Read the final amount from the finished job's usage.cost rather than from a blog table.

fal states its own per-second figures in the table above, and its formula multiplies output height, width, duration and 24, then divides by 1,024. That is fal's billing rule and a different unit from Sume's reserve, so do not subtract one from the other.

Is Seedance 2.0 Mini on Sume the same as the CapCut one?

The names match, but the pages do not say how the two services are related, and Sume's docs do not describe the provider behind seedance-2-mini. Treat them as products with the same model name. Judge Sume's output by running your own prompt through seedance-2-mini, and its price by the job's usage.cost.
