WOW love this, this is a lot like creating a thumbnail for designing. What has helped me a lot with starting was categorizing the clips with colour codes, it helps familiarize me with clips and lets my brain stew on ideas. Though the trailers I’ve made have been based on other trailers so starting has been easier for me.
Yeah, very much like thumbnailing! I have another video in a different series about breaking down and categorizing shots, though I don’t do it by color ruclips.net/video/x-dikHPjBgg/видео.html
@@DerekLieu Hey what game engine where you using? I ask this because I'm kind or having a hard time creating my trailer....I only need to know how to create the text screen properly, meaning that first comes the scenery such as cars, people, etc., but then it goes a pitch black screen with text and then switch's back to various different scenery before going back to text I need help with that and I also use Unity3d.
Wow, You just opened my imagination to so much more possibilities, Love you bro. One suggestion i would give is that Not everyone on the internet is fluent in english so it would be nice to use simple words.
This is super insightful! Looking at a blank timeline is definitely the most intimidating part of making videos. I really like the structure you explained!
I've been trying to create my own game play trailers to the games I play, and I have zero knowledge in this area, so i'll try to impalement the tips from this video. I have noticed that my longer trailers 1-1:30 minute, haven't gotten as much exposure as my shorts to try and advertise them. You've got my like! 👍
@@DerekLieu That's a shame because I don't think you can create a good trailer in 20/30 seconds. This is the average watch time for my channel shorts. I'm sure it will change again at some point. Thank you 😄
Thanks so much for all the amazing knowledge and insights Derek! You are a true master, and I've started saving up to at least consult with you when its time to make the trailer for my game dev project.
Hi Derek! Love this video: it gave me a lot of useful tips. I'm making a puzzle game, and was wondering if there are any trailer tips you have for puzzle games specifically? Let me know, and thanks for the great, useful video!
Thankyou for sharing these great idea, Can you Explain the process for making the trailor for the game in mixed reality on Meta quest devices, it would help alot
@@Mohit_Magnimus read this! www.kertgartner.com/making-mixed-reality-vr-trailers-and-videos But there are also things now like LIV which I know or some creators like Anaburn use (I think?)
Is there "free" or watermark footage to practice making a video game trailer? I know there is non-video game footage if you want to practice editing but I am not sure if it is the same for video game footage.
I used to film and edit wedding videos and my 4k footage from a wedding would use up like 500 gb. Video games are probably 30 hours on average these days, so are you really packing 30 hours of footage for each trailer you make? I'm interested in getting into creating game trailers but the storage space requirement seems like it would be outrageous lol.
For most projects I tend to do all the capture at a high bitrate h264 like 100+ Mbps, which is WAY smaller than what you're probably shooting. If the game has very high fidelity graphics then I'll do the rough capture at h264 and final capture in Prores. One of my biggest projects (Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew) I did four trailers and that entire folder is 1.5TB. My entire Psychonauts 2 folder is about 800 GB, and that's an example of doing mostly h264 until it was time to start doing final capture.
@@demonitgames Davinci Resolve if you want something professional and free. Premiere Pro is good and some people like Final Cut Pro X (if you’re on a Mac). They all have free trials so try them out and see what works for you!
What the game don't have story, what if the game pvp and the difficulty it how well they enemy Player play. For example the game I'm working on it's pvp multiplayer game with 0 storyline, I personally have plan to make game play trailer that show unique mekanic like dual wielding, And little bit of game play.

@@DerekLieu Oh I need to know how to add gameplay into the trailer also
@@richardrichardhaleysguitar8810 I don’t use a game engine. I’m editing in Premiere Pro
Derek ,you are my first teacher of trailer editing and have given me a lot of help. Words can't describe the way I thank you.
Aww, you’re very welcome!
Wow, You just opened my imagination to so much more possibilities, Love you bro. One suggestion i would give is that Not everyone on the internet is fluent in english so it would be nice to use simple words.
Glad you liked it! Sorry if I used complicated words. I at the very least always make my captions by hand, so hopefully those translate well.
I wish I found this video two weeks ago. What a great series. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Amazing Content Derek. We are currently working on a title and these tips are invaluable! Thanks a million for sharing, it''s highly appreciated.
Another great video, Derek. I've been watching many of your videos and posts for making my own indie game trailer. I can not thank you enough.
Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad to hear they've been of help!
I LOVED the trailer for Noita! It's so cool to see the tricks behind it that helped it flow so well!
So happy you liked it! :D
Nice! I'm always so happy to see you continue producing and uploading 👍
Thanks, Gunnar! It feels good to finish up videos I started over a year ago and never finished ^_^;
This is super insightful! Looking at a blank timeline is definitely the most intimidating part of making videos. I really like the structure you explained!
Glad you liked it! It took me a while to land on this method, but. I'll never go back ^_^

This might be due to RUclips’s algorithm pushing shorts more than normal videos.

@@DerekLieu sounds great. I am curious about it:)
Such a great video!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for sharing super large amount of experience cool
You’re welcome!
My favorite montage structure kick-off was in the Gears 5 Story Trailer when Cole says "Now's the fun part bitch."
Hahaha, that'll do 🤣
what sofware do you use please ? (my english is level A1)
Premiere Pro
This is great, THANK YOU!
You're welcome!
Thanks friend!

There's loads of longplays on RUclips. Also, you can just download a game demo and screen capture your own footage using OBS or something similar :D
Hi what app reccomend to make game trailer?
I wrote a guide here! www.derek-lieu.com/blog/2022/12/31/the-complete-beginners-guide-to-editing-your-first-video

How long should an games trailer be?
I have a video about this, but generally 90 seconds or fewer ruclips.net/video/jDekF5IuSLo/видео.html&ab_channel=DerekLieu
What software to use for editing ?
@@demonitgames Davinci Resolve if you want something professional and free. Premiere Pro is good and some people like Final Cut Pro X (if you’re on a Mac). They all have free trials so try them out and see what works for you!
What is that post-it software?
MIro!
Thank a lot
You’re welcome!
Do you use premiere pro?
@@LongLoaff yup
@DerekLieu ty for the quick reply😄
@ No problem. I usually recommend DaVinci Resolve to people who don’t have an Adobe subscription, because Resolve is free and amazingly full featured.

What the game don't have story, what if the game pvp and the difficulty it how well they enemy Player play.
For example the game I'm working on it's pvp multiplayer game with 0 storyline,

Watch trailers for Halo Infinite, Apex Legends, and PUBG. Those games don’t have stories but their trailers still have some story structure
@@DerekLieu okay.
I was looking for the Premiere Pro file in the comments 😂
For the timeline? There’s not much to share 😂
@@DerekLieu Thanks! sir, I realized how lazy I am. 😂
