When to use which
Use Seedance 2.0 Mini for everyday premium videos within your Premium credits. Switch to Seedance 2.0 for flagship videos where longer, richer shots matter, and to Seedance 2.5 when you want rapid-fire editing. All three generate audio by default, which is mixed under the narration.
