Output aspect ratio. Defaults to 16:9. Allowed values: 21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16.
Video resolution - 480p for faster generation, 720p for balance. Allowed values: 480p, 720p.
Output duration in seconds (4-15), or `auto` to let the model pick a length from the prompt and inputs. `auto` is pre-authorized at 15 seconds and billed on the actual output length. Allowed values: auto, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
Whether to generate synchronized audio for the video, including sound effects, ambient sounds, and lip-synced speech. The cost of video generation is the same regardless of whether audio is generated or not.

Seedance 2.0 Mini Text to Video
Seedance 2.0 Mini text-to-video, the lowest-cost Seedance 2.0 tier for drafts and volume. Write the scene, including dialogue and sound, and get back a 4–15 second clip.
Fields
| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
prompt | string, required | — | Text instruction. |
aspect_ratio | 21:9 / 16:9 / 3:2 / 4:3 / 5:4 / 1:1 / 4:5 / 3:4 / 2:3 / 9:16 | 16:9 | Output frame shape. |
resolution | 480p / 720p | 720p | Sets the per-second rate. |
duration | auto / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 | 5 | Output length in seconds (4–15), or auto to let the model choose. |
generate_audio | boolean | true | Native dialogue, music, and effects. Same price on or off. |
seed | integer -1–4294967295 | random | Fix it to compare prompt changes; -1 is random. |
Billing
You pay for output seconds: $0.06 at 480p, $0.12 at 720p. Audio is included. With duration: "auto" the quote assumes 15 seconds and the final charge uses the generated length.
| Output | 480p | 720p |
|---|---|---|
| 4s | $0.24 | $0.48 |
| 5s (default) | $0.30 | $0.60 |
| 10s | $0.60 | $1.20 |
| 15s | $0.90 | $1.80 |
Failed runs are not charged.
Prompting
- Describe subject, action, camera move, and light in order; add the sound last.
- Quote dialogue and name the speaker.
- For several shots, number them and give each a camera direction.
Limits
- Clips are 4–15 seconds.

3. Queue
Submit a request
POST to /v1/run with this model ID and its inputs. The request example above includes submission and polling.
Fetch request status and result
Use the returned run ID to poll until the status is completed, failed or timeout. Read output only after completed.
curl "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run/$RUN_ID" \

Hosted files
Pass a publicly accessible file URL in the model’s image, video or audio field. Supported formats and limits are shown beside each Playground input.
Uploading images
Use the upload or replace control on supported image fields in the Playground. Video URL fields accept a hosted driving video; they do not imply video-upload support.
