Game Trailers

A video game trailer is a short snippet of a video game to give players an idea of what it's like to play it. It's essentially a hook to get people interested, learn more about your game, or buy it.

You should include a few really cool shots of your game in the hook or intro to get viewers excited. Also, have a few goals or achievable items throughout the game, a short explanation of the game, and an end with a clear CTA on how to play or buy the game.

A good video game trailer is like a good story - it should have a clear beginning, middle, and end while dramatically telling your game's story. Your trailer should drive emotion and interest using short clips from the game. And don't forget that important CTA at the end!

Your game trailer should range between 30 seconds - 90 seconds to keep viewers interested - 60 seconds is the sweet spot. But remember that the first 5 seconds of the video are the most crucial - so it should start with a bang!

Each editor will have specific requirements for your trailer. But in general, you should have the following elements ready: game footage, your logo, important information such as release date, website, etc., background music, title screen text, and specific voiceovers if you require it.
