Creative examples
Fast, everyday video for social
Turn quick ideas into share-ready clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Seedance 2 Mini's speed and low cost make it easy to post often and keep testing new concepts.
Guide the result with your own references
Choose either reference images or first and last frames, then describe the desired motion in a prompt. The two image modes are separate and cannot be combined in one generation.
Video that comes with its own sound
Enable generated audio to add sound to teasers, ads, and story clips. Review and edit the sound as part of your final production workflow.
Cinematic multi-shot scenes
Build short sequences with camera movement and scene changes — pans, zooms, and tracking shots — for storytelling that feels directed rather than static.
Keep your character consistent
Hold the same face, outfit, and style across shots using reference images — perfect for character-driven stories, mascots, and branded series.
From product photo to polished clip
Bring a product image or simple concept to life as a clean, attractive video for shops, launches, and promos, with quality that punches above its cost.
