AI trailer generatorMake a trailer that
leaves them asking.

A trailer promises a story without telling all of it. Start with a logline, build three beats of rising tension and let Director plan the shots and title cards before you generate.

No One to Report To, a cinematic trailer made by the Vixel teamWatch the film ↗
No One to Report To is a 90-second science-fiction trailer made by the Vixel team. It pairs vast landscapes with small human details and repeats a few visual clues; watch how each shot hints at more than it shows.

From idea to a considered result

How to get started

  1. 01

    Write one logline

    Say who wants what, and what stands in the way, in one sentence. The logline decides which images the trailer promises and which questions it leaves open.

  2. 02

    Build three beats of tension

    Plan a setup, a complication and a final image that raises the stakes. Choose one visual clue to repeat so the trailer feels connected, then review the shot list with Director.

  3. 03

    Generate, then pace the cut

    Generate the shots that carry the hook first and review them before the rest. Add title cards, then shape the rhythm so the strongest image lands last.

A book trailer

Plan a 45-second trailer for my novel. Ask for the logline, genre and tone, then propose three beats of rising tension, one recurring visual clue and two title cards. Keep major plot spoilers out. Show me the plan before generating media.

A mystery teaser

Develop an original 30-second mystery teaser about a lighthouse keeper who receives letters from a ship that sank years ago. Use one recurring visual clue, no dialogue and three title cards. Start with a script and shot list for my review.

A game pitch trailer

Help me plan a 60-second pitch trailer for an indie game concept. Ask about the world and the player’s goal, then propose shots that show the world, the goal and one moment of danger. Leave gameplay claims as placeholders for me to confirm.

Before you call it finished

  • Is the genre clear within the first few seconds?
  • Does the trailer raise a question instead of answering it?
  • Do the title cards match what the shots actually show?

A little clarity before you create

Frequently asked questions.

Can I make a trailer for my book or game?
Yes. Start from your logline and the moments you want to promise. Use your own descriptions and references, and leave out characters, footage or music you do not have the rights to use.
How long should a trailer be?
Teasers often run 15–30 seconds and full trailers 60–90 seconds. Start short: three beats are easier to plan, generate and review than ten.
Is a trailer different from a short film?
A short film resolves its story; a trailer stops before the answer. Plan fewer, stronger images and decide what the viewer should still be wondering at the end.
