When to reach for it
The cheapest way into the Seedance family's reference model. Nine reference images, three reference videos, three reference audios, a fifteen-second ceiling and the same six aspect ratios as the rest of the family, at a fraction of what 2.5 charges for a comparable take.
The cap is 720p, which for social, web and anything that will be viewed on a phone is not a real constraint. It becomes one only when the deliverable is a full-resolution master, and then base 2.0 is where to go.
Its natural place is the exploration phase of a multi-shot sequence. Because it shares the reference capacity and the frame handling with the rest of the family, a cast sheet and a chain of final frames built here transfer intact to 2.0 or 2.5 when it is time to render the keeper. That is worth more than the per-take saving: it means the cheap phase and the expensive phase are the same workflow rather than two.

Make the opening frame and the closing frame yourself, hand a video model both, and let it fill the middle. Nine models take a last frame. What it buys.
