HOW TO Create a trailer

1 Choose a theme

Click the File menu and choose New Trailer. Choose a theme — take note of the number of cast members needed — then click Create. The trailer will be created with the Outline tab open. Type in details for title, cast, and studio.

2 Add storyboard details

Click Storyboard and type in details for titles and captions in the text boxes between the placeholders for clips. The text is previewed in the viewer. When you’re done, click on the Shot List tab.

3 Add your shots

Locate the shots you want to use and drag each onto its placeholder in the Shot List, taking note of the type of shot designated for each placeholder. Use the techniques you learned earlier to adjust clips. Click Play when done.
