Why gVideo
Built for results
Concept to delivered trailer in hours
Indie filmmakers, novelists, game devs, and TTRPG GMs need trailers but not full productions. Generate 15-25 hero shots in an evening, sequence with music in CapCut / Resolve, ship a 90s trailer the same day.
Premium models for premium output
Trailers can't look amateur. Sora 2 Pro produces theatrical-tier shots. Luma Ray 2 nails dreamy / artistic beats. Veo 3.1 adds atmospheric ambient audio. The 9-model lineup covers every cinematic territory.
Commercial license for releases
Trailers for Steam game launches, Kindle book pitches, Patreon serials, indie film fests — all covered under the commercial license. Safe to use in monetized launch campaigns.

Sora 2 Pro
120 credits per 4s (~$2.67 on Pro)Trailers demand the highest cinematic quality. Sora 2 Pro produces HD-tier output that holds up on YouTube full-screen and even theatrical preview formats. Slow but worth it for trailer hero shots.
“I'm an indie author. Made a 90-second AI trailer for my fantasy novel launch — used Sora 2 Pro for hero shots and Kling 3.0 for B-roll. Total cost: $35 in credits. Tweet went viral, drove 6,400 pre-orders.”
Common questions
What kinds of trailers can I make with the AI movie trailer maker?
Strongest fits: (1) indie game launch trailers (Steam, itch.io); (2) book / novel pitch trailers for self-published authors; (3) web serial / Patreon launch trailers; (4) TTRPG campaign or module promo trailers; (5) indie film fest submission trailers; (6) screenplay pitch reels for festival submission. Categories where it struggles: actor-driven trailers requiring named talent (use real footage for those), and very specific brand-IP trailers requiring exact character likenesses.
How long should an AI trailer be?
60-120 seconds is the sweet spot. 30s teaser version for social. 90s standard for YouTube / Steam. 2:30 max for festival circuits. Each AI clip is 4-10s — a 90s trailer is typically 18-25 stitched clips with quick cuts, title cards, and a music bed.
Can the AI generate the same characters consistently across the trailer?
Two paths: (1) Use detailed appearance descriptions in every prompt ('a tall warrior with cropped silver hair, scar across the left brow, wearing obsidian-plated armor with glowing blue runes'). The character won't be 100% identical but will read as the same archetype. (2) Capture one master portrait via image generation, then use image-to-video to animate that specific character across multiple shots. Most successful AI trailers do (1) for crowd / atmosphere shots and (2) for hero character beats.
What about music and voiceover for the trailer?
Generate the visuals in gVideo, then layer audio in your editor. Music: epidemic sound, artlist, free YouTube Audio Library. Voiceover: ElevenLabs (best for trailer-grade narrator voices), OpenAI TTS, or your own voice. Most indie creators spend more time on music selection than visual generation — music is what makes a trailer feel epic.
What's a realistic cost for a full 90-second trailer?
A typical AI trailer = 4-6 Sora 2 Pro hero shots + 12-18 Kling 3.0 / Wan 2.6 supporting shots. Total credits: ~1,200-1,800 ≈ $25-40 on Pro plan. Mix of model tiers keeps cost reasonable. For comparison: an indie animation studio quotes $5k-25k for a 90s trailer; a freelancer $1k-5k. AI fits inside indie creator launch budgets that simply don't have $5k for marketing.
Are AI trailers free for monetized launches (Steam / Amazon / Patreon)?
Yes — all paid plans include commercial license covering monetized launches across Steam, Amazon KDP, Patreon, Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Substack, and YouTube. For festival film submissions, AI-generated trailers are explicitly allowed under most fest rules as of late 2025; check individual fest guidelines for film with AI-generated content.
