Faster to a usable preview
Suited to comparing multiple versions of the same prompt. Client first drafts and internal direction checks turn around faster, without running every candidate through the full tier.

Seedance 2.0 Fast — a Seedance tier for faster output and batch iteration
What is Seedance 2.0 Fast?
Seedance 2.0 Fast is the speed-leaning tier within the Seedance 2.0 family. It's built for batch iteration where you need results faster: storyboard candidates, client first drafts, internal direction checks. Once composition and narrative direction are confirmed, move the approved option to Seedance 2.0 or Seedance 2.5 for finished-clip-grade polish, instead of running every candidate through the full tier. Select Seedance 2.0 Fast in the iMini video workspace to use it.

More efficient batch candidates
For storyboard libraries and A/B shot screening, Fast is well suited to laying down volume first. Once an option is picked, upgrading it keeps the process clean.
Prompts carry over to the full tiers
Same Seedance family — prompt and reference habits that pass on Fast carry over to 2.0 / 2.5, cutting repeated back-and-forth.
Still upgrade for final cuts
For finished clips with high resolution, duration, or subject-consistency requirements, confirm direction on Fast first, then move to Seedance 2.0 or 2.5.
