Make an AI Movie Trailer Fast

Cinematic trailer in under an hour: Seedance 2.0, Kling 3 Omni, FacePass.

Seedance 2.0

How do I make an AI movie trailer?

Plot your trailer beats, generate a lead portrait, and @-reference it across every shot. Use Seedance 2.0 for cinematic hero shots and Kling 3.0 Omni for multi-character action, then edit and trim each generated clip directly in Renoise.

This guide covers cinematic trailers. For music-synced edits, see the AI music video guide

Make an AI trailer in 3 steps

Cold open to title card: plan beats, lock the lead, generate cinematic shots.

  1. Writing trailer beat prompts inside Renoise Canvas
    Step 1

    Plot beats

    Write 6–10 trailer beats: cold open (5s), world establishing (10s), hero reveal (10s), action (20s), title card (5s).

  2. Adding a lead character reference image to the Renoise Canvas
    Step 2

    Set your lead

    Generate a hero portrait, then @-reference it in every clip prompt. For a real actor, clear via FacePass first.

  3. Selecting Kling 3 Omni from the Renoise Canvas model menu
    Step 3

    Generate shots

    Build wide and atmospheric beats in Seedance 2.0. Prompt example: "abandoned hallway, dust motes, slow dolly forward, anamorphic, 16:9, 8s".

Trailer shots, any genre

Cinematic beats generated in Renoise — switch models per shot, keep one lead across the cut.

Fantasy epic

A knight-versus-dragon set piece — the hero beat a fantasy trailer builds toward.

Sci-fi action

A deep-space dogfight with motion that holds across a fast multi-shot sequence.

Horror cold open

A dim hallway and a slow reveal — the tension beat most horror trailers open on.

Disaster set piece

An armored lead running through a collapsing city — Kling 3 Omni keeps every subject coherent.

How an AI movie trailer is structured

A trailer is a piece of editing, not a short film — it sells a feeling in roughly 60–90 seconds by withholding plot. The structure is a deliberate arc: a cold open hooks with one striking image or line, an establishing stretch sets the world, a hero reveal raises the stakes, an action build accelerates the cutting, and a title card lands the name. Pacing comes from cut rhythm — long, held shots early; quick cuts as tension peaks.

Two terms worth keeping straight: a shot is one continuous generated clip, while a scene is a group of shots that reads as one location or beat. Trailers move across many scenes quickly, so planning the shot list before generation keeps every clip focused.

In Renoise, generate each shot as its own clip — Seedance 2.0 for cinematic single-subject hero beats and Kling 3.0 Omni for multi-character action — then edit and trim each result directly.

Consistent lead

@-reference one image of your lead across every shot so one character carries the whole trailer. For a real actor, clear their face via FacePass first.

Video editing and trimming

Frequently asked questions

1.Can Renoise generate a full feature-length film?

No. Individual clips are capped at 15 seconds. Renoise is built for short-form work like trailers, music videos, and ad cuts. A 60–90 second trailer is the sweet spot for high quality.

2.How long does a 60-second trailer take?

Timing depends on the number of shots and how many generations you keep. Generate each shot separately, then edit and trim the selected clips directly in Renoise.

3.Does the lead actor stay consistent?

Yes. Generate one image of your lead, then @-reference it before generating clips so every shot reuses that face. If your lead is a real actor, clear their face through FacePass first — video models block reference images with a real human face, and FacePass is the compliant path once you hold the rights to that likeness. Without referencing the same image, video models drift and your lead changes each cut.

4.Can I edit the generated trailer clips?

Yes. Generated trailer clips can be edited and trimmed directly in Renoise.

5.What aspect ratios should I render?

Render 16:9 for theatrical, YouTube, and Vimeo distribution. Add 9:16 in the same job for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts cut-downs. Skip 4:3 unless you want a deliberate retro aesthetic.

6.Can I make a sequel trailer?

Yes. Keep the same lead image and @-reference it in the new project. Start a new Canvas, attach the same reference (FacePass clearance carries over for a real actor), and the lead from your first trailer carries into the second one.
