    @WildRose393 Oh well all you need to do is follow these steps: If you look underneath the video on YouTube and click share. Instead of copying the code for the video, click embred and you will see a code. Click the box marked Old code above the code in the box and then copy and paste the code into a thread. Then there you go! :D

    @brookieismyname That makes perfect sense :) In my case I would probably use IMDb, but that's beside the point. Now what if you don't know a lot of actors (like me). DO you have a suggestion of how it' be easier to find actors? Or is that pretty much the same as find someone who matches description?

    It's good! Maybe at the ending part show other clips, like the clips of the two people in the story, more fairy tale stuff cause it was just wolves. Watch your spelling on the title screens and yeaH! But it was awesome! Send me the rest when you add more!

    @brookieismyname I've gotten a little further with it, but I'm running out of clips to use.

    I'm also trying to shorten the song just a bit because the whole thing is going to take up too much work, a problem I'm facing is, where do I cut the song short?

    @brookieismyname I made a new trailer with your advice from before. Could you watch it after I post it on Youtube and tell me what you think?

    @brookieismyname Also, this maybe useful for some people and I thought I'd be good share with you.

    http://www.freesound.org/

    It's an Audio Clip website were people can look for or even request certain sounds. Like Thunder or Wolves howling. I personally plan on using this once I finish syncing up the video with the music

    Edit: I'm having trouble saving the Trailer now, I don't know where the problem file is so it looks like I'll need to start over from scratch. That's 15 hours of my life wasted...

    You can fade out on your program and it could end or you can split the audio clips and delete it

    @brookieismyname What software do I download (if any) to make everything? I want to start making them but I don't know how!

    @CrystalLufsey

    I use Windows Movie Maker, it's good for begginers and I suggest it. But it depends on the computer you have. There should be a movie software on your computer hen you get it

    @brookieismyname I think I had one. But Idk where it went. I'm downloading Windows Live movie maker now. I've never made a trailer so I'm hoping I do some what decent on it

    @brookieismyname I am a beginner and I made this trailer, and it's my first and only one, could you tell me what you think and tips for the future? I definitely need it! http://youtu.be/OCDjpWMhwRY

    @ilovesothe It didn't work for me :( There wasn't an Old Code box

  • ilovesothe

    @CassDN12 It should say old code in a little check box underneath the link to the video. You just make sure the old code is the only one checked. I could post a tutorial, if that would help you.

    @CassDN12

    In the beginning you have the title, and then go check it out at wattpad.com. Most trailer makers put that at the end, its really up to you but I think it looks better at the end.Also you could (at the end) just put the author's name, and your name (the trailer maker) and then a link to the story in the description.

    When you write 'she found a whole new world' make that slide longer because I didn't have time to read it.

    After the kingdom title, maybe try doing clips where it's not just her singing right into the camera, it's her in her dress.

    You didn't really introduce Xaiver, she was just kind of there so maybe try and fix that.

    Don't write hope you enjoyed at the end. It takes away from the trailer, you can write that in the descrption.

    Besides that ! MY GOD! That was probably better then any trailer i've made before. Can I ask what software you use?

    @brookieismyname I tried my hand at trailer making a month or so ago and was wondering about the result. It was my first time using Final Cut Pro X, so it might not be that good... I'd like to get some feedback, because it's fun to make trailers, though I don't think that I'm good xD

    Hugs, Sophie.

    P.S. Yeah, it's not MY YouTube account, it's my cousin's xD I still made the trailer, though. I'm just too lazy to get my own account ;)

    @ilovesothe tutorial please :) @brookieismyname Wow thanx, I used iMovie, and unfortunately, it doesn't allow me to make that clip longer. I will have to see about fixing that, thanx :)
