AI Movie Trailer Generator

Trailer-grade shots for a film that does not exist yet.

A trailer is a sequence of promises: the world, the character, the threat, the title. Generate each beat as its own shot, hold the look across all of them, and cut them together.

Key Features

Beat-by-beat shot generation

Establishing wide, character reveal, the threat, the turn. Generate each beat deliberately instead of hoping one long clip contains them.

A look that holds

Keep grade, lens language and world consistent across every shot so the cut reads as one film.

Scale in frame

Trailers sell scale: low angles, long lenses, a small figure against a large thing. All directable from the prompt.

Sound and score cues

Generate impact hits, ambience and dialogue stabs with the picture so a rough cut already has a soundbed.

How It Works

Write the beats first

Four to six shots: world, character, threat, turn, title. The list is the trailer.

Lock the look

Decide grade, time of day and lens language once, and repeat it in every shot prompt.

Generate each beat

One shot per generation. Short clips, then extend only the ones that work.

Cut and add titles

Assemble in any editor. The shots are yours to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make a trailer for a film that does not exist?

That is the normal use. Write the beats you would show — the world, the character, the threat, the turn — generate each as its own shot, and cut them together. The constraint is the same as a real trailer: it is a sequence of promises, not a summary.

How do I keep every shot looking like the same film?

Decide the look once — time of day, grade, lens language, world — and repeat those words in every shot prompt. Reference images hold a recurring character across shots.

Can I generate the music and sound?

You can generate impact hits, ambience and dialogue with the picture. For a full score, BudgetPixel also generates music, and the sound-effects library is free to use.

Can I use real actors or existing film IP?

No. Do not generate a real person's likeness without their permission, and do not recreate protected characters or footage. Original characters and worlds are what this is for.

How long can each shot be?

Up to 30 seconds in one continuous generation, though trailer shots are usually two to four seconds. Short beats cut better and cost less to iterate on.

Can I generate these from my own code or an AI agent?

Yes. The same models are available through the BudgetPixel developer API for programmatic generation, and through the MCP server so an AI agent such as Claude or Cursor can generate clips directly. Pricing is per second of output and matches the web app.
