A trailer for the story only you have
The world. The hero. The line that changes everything. Things get worse. Title card. Make the Characters once, and the AI Director writes your idea as a five-beat trailer you can narrate as a Slideshow or film as Clips.
Write and draw your trailer free as a picture-only Slideshow. A narrated trailer is 40 Credits and a 5-Clip trailer (0:25) is 125 Credits plus any Scene pictures, both with a plan.
Free: make your Character and its Story as picture-only Slideshows. Real video comes with a plan.
How to make an AI trailer for your idea
Make your hero as a Character, then pitch the idea in one line and ask for a trailer: the AI Director writes it in five beats (world, hero, the inciting line, escalation, title card). Watch it free as a picture-only Slideshow. With a plan, narrate the five slides for 40 Credits or film five Clips (0:25) for 125, plus any Scene pictures.

The five beats
Most trailers follow the same shape, and it is a good one.
1. The world
One image that tells you where and when.
2. The hero
Who we follow, doing something that shows who they are.
3. The inciting line
One spoken line that changes everything.
4. Escalation
Things get faster and worse.
5. The title card
The name of your story, and the hook you leave them with.
Two ways to make it
A narrated Slideshow trailer: five drawn slides with narration and music from our library, 40 Credits on a plan (web). A filmed trailer: five 5-second Clips on H3 Turbo (0:25), 125 Credits on a plan, plus any Scene pictures. Both start free as a picture-only Slideshow.
Book trailers for authors
A book trailer for your own novel works the same way: make the lead from the book's description, pitch the premise, and keep the title card for the end. For adapting the whole book chapter by chapter, see turn your book into a show.
What it is not
It does not cut a trailer from footage you upload, and it does not copy a studio's style or a real film's trailer. It makes a trailer for your own original story, with your own Characters.

Questions, answered
Still curious? The guides go deeper.
Is there a free AI trailer generator?
Writing and drawing your trailer as a picture-only Slideshow is free. A narrated or filmed trailer, and MP4 export, need a plan.
