Book Trailer Maker
A short, cinematic trailer for your book — the hook, the world, the stakes, never the ending — for BookTok, Reels, Shorts and your author site.
01Paste the blurb. The back-cover copy or the premise, with the genre, the title and your name.
02Read the trailer script. A hook, the world, the stakes and the question — never the ending — back before anything renders.
03Post it for launch. Vertical for BookTok, Reels and Shorts; landscape for your website and YouTube.

A mock-up of the frame and caption layout at this page’s settings — TikTok, Reels and Shorts, cinematic music bed. It is a drawing, not a rendered video: we have no published render library to show you yet, and a stock clip dressed up as our output would be worth less than saying so.
Your input
“Cozy mystery: a retired librarian in a Cornish village finds a first edition that was reported stolen in 1962”
Plus this page’s brief, verbatim
Write a short trailer for a book. Open on one striking image or line from the premise, establish the world and the main character in a sentence or two, raise the stakes, and end on the question that makes someone want to read it — never the answer, never the ending. Match the tone to the genre the user names. Use only the plot, names and details the user gives; never invent a plot point, a review, a quote, an award, a rating or a bestseller claim. Close with the title and author only if the user typed them.
That string is not marketing copy — it is the instruction the script writer is given before it reads a word of yours, and it is the only thing separating this page from the other forty-seven.
The shape that comes back
Scene 1 — the hook
One line that works with no context, because the viewer arrived mid-scroll.
Scenes 2–6 — the body
One idea each, one or two spoken sentences, each with its own image prompt and its own duration.
Final scene — the close
A line that lands the point rather than asking for a follow.
Per scene — the shot
The exact image prompt the model would receive, with this page’s style suffix already appended.
This is the structure, not a saved example. The box at the top of the page writes the real one — with your wording, in about ten seconds.
5–8 scenes
each with its own line, its own frame and its own length
Under 60s
cut to the narration, not to a fixed per-scene timer
Word-timed
captions burned from the voice model’s own alignment
1080-class
vertical, square or landscape — no watermark on any plan
01
A trailer is a hook, not a summary
The trailers that sell books do not summarize the plot. They open on one image, give you the world and the person in it in a sentence, raise the stakes, and stop on the question the book answers. Everything else — the subplot, the twist, the ending — is the reader’s reason to buy it, and a trailer that gives it away has spent it.
The brief is written to that shape. Paste your blurb or premise and the genre, and the script comes back as a short sequence of lines, each one a scene: the hook, the world, the turn, the question. You read it before anything renders, so you can cut a line that says too much or sharpen one that says too little.
02
Your book’s mood, not a stock-footage montage
The default look is cinematic — low light, shallow focus, scenes that feel like film stills — and every frame is generated from the line it sits under, so a mapmaker’s kingdom or a Cornish village looks like your book rather than the nearest stock clip. Switch to watercolor for a cozy read or anime for a YA fantasy; the look is one dropdown.
Each frame is generated on its own, so your heroine’s face will not stay identical across scenes. Trailers that work lean on places, objects and weather rather than a character’s close-up, which is what a reader wants to imagine for themselves anyway. One image of your own — the cover — can be the opening frame, added in the composer.

Launch week, and every promotion after it
Connect TikTok, Instagram and YouTube once and publish to TikTok, Reels and Shorts from the app, on every plan. Mini connects 1 account, Starter 3, Pro 6 and Studio 25. A trailer for launch week, another for the first promotion, one for the audiobook and one for the sequel — each is a paragraph typed in a box.
Plans are monthly: Mini $7 (200 credits), Starter $19 (600 credits), Pro $49 (2,000 credits), Studio $149 (7,500 credits). A five-scene short in pictures costs 13 credits; with AI motion in every scene it costs 68. You see the price before you generate, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee. Mini ($7 a month, 200 credits) covers about 15 five-scene shorts in pictures, or about 2 with AI motion in every scene.

Related tools
Same engine, different preset
Twenty more pages over the same pipeline. Each one is a different brief, a different look and a different page — and each one prints its brief the way this one does.
Not unless you paste it. The brief writes a hook, the world, the stakes and the question, and is told never to reveal the ending. Paste the back-cover copy rather than a synopsis and there is nothing to give away.
Can it show my book cover?
Yes, as the opening frame: one image can be added in the composer, and every scene after it is generated. Put the title and your name in the post caption as well, where readers look for them.
Will it quote reviews or call it a bestseller?
No. It is told never to invent a review, a quote, an award, a rating or a bestseller claim. If you have a real review you are allowed to quote, type it and it will use it.
Can the main character look the same throughout?
Not reliably. Each frame is generated on its own, so a face drifts between scenes. Trailers built on places, objects and atmosphere hold together much better.
What does it cost?
Plans are monthly: Mini $7 (200 credits), Starter $19 (600 credits), Pro $49 (2,000 credits), Studio $149 (7,500 credits). A five-scene short in pictures costs 13 credits; with AI motion in every scene it costs 68. You see the price before you generate, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee. Mini ($7 a month, 200 credits) covers about 15 five-scene shorts in pictures, or about 2 with AI motion in every scene.
Can the narrator sound British or Australian?
The 5 voices are American English. There is no British, Irish or Australian voice, and we would rather say so here than after you have paid. Adam is the default here, deep and unhurried, and every voice has a preview in the composer, so you hear it before you render anything.
Do I own the trailer?
You own the videos on every plan and can use them commercially, paid ads included. There is no watermark on any plan, the export is 1080p, and the music beds are licensed for commercial use with no attribution.
Do I have to sign up to try this?
Yes, a free one. Signup takes a moment and needs no card. Once you are signed in, the box at the top writes the script and the shot list for no credits — that is the part that decides whether the video is worth making.
What does it cost?
Starter is $19 a month for 600 credits, Pro $49, Studio $149. A credit is a unit of pipeline cost rather than a video, so a five-scene short costs less than a nine-scene one, and you see the estimate before you spend anything.
Do I own the videos, and is there a watermark?
You own them, on every plan, and there is no watermark on any plan, no resolution cap and no platform withheld. Four things do follow the plan, because they are what a video costs to make: AI motion and sound effects need Starter, and a presenter avatar and the choice of video model need Pro. Everything else — every voice, every language, every caption style, every aspect ratio — is the same on all of them.
