Seedance 2.0 Mini R2V is the reference-to-video ("R2V") endpoint of ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 Mini tier, released in June 2026. Like other R2V modes in the family, it lets creators guide generation with a text prompt alongside reference material — ByteDance describes Seedance 2.0 as supporting combined input of text, images, videos, and audio, with the model referencing visual composition, camera language, motion rhythm, and sound from those inputs.

Within the family, the Mini tier positions itself as a lighter option than the higher-fidelity Seedance 2.0 Enhanced R2V and the base Seedance 2.0 R2V, while sharing the 2.0 line's 15-second, multi-shot, native audio-video generation. It complements the text-to-video Seedance 2.0 Mini and image-to-video Seedance 2.0 Mini endpoints.

ByteDance describes Seedance 2.0 as a substantial upgrade over the earlier Seedance 1.5 Pro, citing improved instruction-following, more stable subject consistency, and better motion and physics for complex interactions. The R2V mode also handles 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.
