Seedance 2.0 Mini R2V is the reference-to-video endpoint of the lightweight "Mini" tier in ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 video family, dated June 2026 and the newest entry in the lineup. Like the rest of the 2.0 line, it accepts mixed inputs and produces coherent, audio-synced output. In R2V mode, creators supply a text prompt alongside reference images, videos, and audio clips, and the model weaves them into a single combined video output, referencing visual composition, camera language, motion rhythm, and sound from those inputs.

The endpoint sits beside the text-to-video and image-to-video Seedance 2.0 Mini models in the same release, and parallels the heavier Seedance 2.0 Enhanced R2V, the speed-focused Seedance 2.0 Fast R2V, and the base Seedance 2.0 R2V. The Mini tier targets the same multi-shot, audio-synced envelope that defines the 2.0 family.

Beyond generation, R2V supports video editing and extension — modifying specified clips, characters, or actions while preserving original motion and camera work, or continuing a scene with consistent characters and style. According to ByteDance, Seedance 2.0 is a substantial upgrade over Seedance 1.5 Pro, citing improved instruction-following, more stable subject consistency, and better motion and physics for complex interactions like sports and dancing.
