Frequently asked questions
Planning your trailer
What is an AI movie trailer generator?
It turns a premise, script, or visual references into short teaser shots. Assemble the shots with titles and sound in an editor.
What is the difference between a concept trailer and a full movie?
A concept trailer introduces the world, characters, and stakes, then leaves a question unanswered. Use it to pitch or test the tone of an original idea.
Can I make an AI movie trailer from text, a script, or an image?
Yes. Turn a logline or script excerpt into a shot list, then use text or supported image references to generate each shot.
Can I make a trailer from existing movie footage?
Use footage you have permission to edit. Select moments that establish the premise and stakes, and generate missing inserts separately if needed.
Can I make trailers for books or games?
Start with an excerpt, game premise, or approved artwork. Pick three moments that suggest the setting and conflict.
What genres work for AI trailers?
Try sci-fi, mystery, drama, animation, fantasy, action, or horror. Describe the look and sound of the genre in your prompts.
How long should an AI movie trailer be?
Try a 30- to 60-second concept trailer and adjust for the destination. Generate shorter shots and assemble them where the model’s duration requires it.
Can I generate a whole trailer in one prompt?
Some models generate short multi-shot sequences. Make the setup, escalation, and ending separately when you need precise pacing or the ability to replace a single take.

Yes. Generate alternate takes for weak shots, then trim or reorder clips and check the transitions in your editor.
