How it works

You write the logline. ClipNova cuts the trailer.

One project, a 90-second trailer for a film called The Keeper, followed from the first line to the final frame.

    Logline

    Start with the premise

    Open AI Movie Maker and write the logline: the genre, the hero, the conflict and the tone. Two or three sentences are enough, and the Prompt Enhancer can expand them into a detailed description. Movie Maker applies its own cinematic look: motivated lighting, a cohesive colour grade and an anamorphic feel.

  2. Picture of Movie Trailer Maker — six planned trailer shots, from a storm-lashed lighthouse to the final reveal
    — 02 —
    Shots

    Set the length and let it plan the shots

    Choose the duration, up to 5 minutes, and the format: 16:9 for a cinema feel or 9:16 for social. Anything longer than a single shot is built as a long video, planned as a storyboard and rendered scene by scene, so a 90-second trailer arrives as a sequence of shots rather than one long take.

  3. Picture of Movie Trailer Maker — the same lighthouse keeper in two different shots
    — 03 —
    Continuity

    Keep the hero the same in every shot

    Movie Maker is instructed to keep characters, wardrobe and setting consistent across shots. With Moving AI Images, the Pro and Ultra image quality tiers lock recurring characters across scenes; on Base they may change. Choose AI Video for full live-action motion.

  4. Picture of Movie Trailer Maker — the radio-room shot with a narrator line, a waveform and the music setting

    Narrator and score

    Add the trailer voice and your music

    Switch on narration and ClipNova writes the voiceover from your logline, timed to the trailer, or type the lines yourself. Pick the voice, upload your score and it is lowered automatically under the narrator. Burned-in captions make the trailer work on mute.

  5. Picture of Movie Trailer Maker — the finished trailer in its last seconds with a final-render badge
    — 05 —
    Final cut

    Get the finished trailer

    The shots, narration, music and captions come back as one video. Watch it, change a line in the logline or swap the voice, and generate again until it plays the way you pictured it.

Why a trailer maker

A trailer sells the film before the film exists.

A trailer is how a story finds its first audience: a pitch for a short film, a teaser for a book, a concept trailer for a channel, a class project. Until now it needed footage, and footage needed a shoot.

An AI movie trailer maker generates the footage from the premise. ClipNova's AI Movie Maker plans the shots, renders them with one cinematic grade, keeps the hero recognisable from shot to shot and lays a narrator, your music and captions over the cut.

Because the trailer starts from text, you can test the story. Make it darker, move the reveal, change the hero and generate a new cut. Each render can run up to 5 minutes, so a teaser, a full trailer and an extended cut can come from the same project.

Movie trailer maker questions.

How do I make a movie trailer with AI?+

Open AI Movie Maker in ClipNova, write a logline with the genre, hero, conflict and tone, choose a length and the 16:9 format, switch on narration and captions, upload your score and generate.

How long can the trailer be?+

Up to 5 minutes per render. Most trailers run 60 to 150 seconds; teasers are often 15 to 30.

Will my main character look the same in every shot?+

Movie Maker is built for continuity of characters, wardrobe and setting. With Moving AI Images, choose Pro or Ultra image quality to keep recurring characters the same across scenes.

Can it add a trailer narrator?+

Yes. ClipNova writes the voiceover from your logline, sized to the trailer, or reads the lines you type. You choose the voice.

Can I add my own music?+

Yes. Upload your track and it is lowered automatically under the narrator. Use music you have the rights to.

What is the difference between AI Movie Maker and Prompt to Video?+

Both run on the same generator. AI Movie Maker adds a fixed cinematic look and continuity instructions built for narrative scenes, so it has no style picker; Prompt to Video lets you choose any Style preset.

Is it free to try?+

Yes. Every new account gets 70 free credits, no card required. On the free plan, AI Movie Maker makes Moving AI Images videos (a narrated sequence of animated AI images); full-motion AI Video unlocks on paid plans, which start at $19 a month.

Can I make a trailer for my own film or book?+

Yes, that is what it is for. Describe your story and characters in your own words; avoid copyrighted characters and titles you don't own.
