What Seedance 2.0 Mini is

What Ziztu runs is Seedance 2.0 Mini and Seedance 2.5. It does not run the full-size Seedance 2.0.

What it is good at

  • Speed and cost: fal describes it as the faster version of Seedance 2.0 with great performance at a lower cost.
  • First and last frame control: give a start picture and an end picture and the clip travels between them.
  • Mixed references: one request can combine up to 9 images, 3 videos and 3 audio clips, 12 files in all.

Honest limits

  • The longest clip is 15 seconds and the largest size is 720p.
  • Reference mode needs at least one reference image or video; audio alone is not enough.
  • Reference videos must be roughly between 480p and 720p in size, 2 to 15 seconds combined.

Yes, with reference pictures: give the model the same pictures in every clip. For a whole episode, Ziztu Studio keeps character sheets and sends them with every shot.

Ziztu runs Seedance 2.0 Mini, the faster and lower priced version of ByteDance's Seedance 2.0, and Seedance 2.5, the newer model. It does not run the full-size Seedance 2.0, and this page does not claim it does.
