The Biggest Mistake of Indie Game Trailers | Video Game Trailer Academy Derek Lieu 2020-09-21 | A list of content quantities is a very boilerplate way to make a trailer, it's also very boring and generic. derek-lieu.com/blog/2019/4/15/questions-to-ask-when-youre-stuckNumbers only mean something when you know what the core experience is like. Knowing there's a lot of something isn't significant until you know the quality of the content.

Why You Shouldnt Show Logos in Game Trailers | Video Game Trailer Academy Derek Lieu 2020-08-24 | Most game trailers should NOT start with logos, because their name and brand recognition isn't strong enough.Full blog post: derek-lieu.com/blog/2019/1/19/no-logoReceive my FREE game trailer making checklist if you sign up to my newsletter at GameTrailerTips.comThe tl;dr:Most game studios and even many publishers don't have strong grand recognition, so their logos don't excite audiences.I put logos on screen for only a few seconds AFTER the trailer starts with gameplay footage. Studios and publishers with name recognition like Naughty Dog, Supergiant Games, Devolver Digital and Annapurna Interactive can rightly do it because they have years of successful releases and a good fan base.The choice is ultimately up to you, but before you put a logo in the beginning of your trailer (especially if it's for more than a couple seconds) consider whether or not anyone will TRULY get excited when they see it. If not, then I'd skip it and make the trailer viewing experience more friendly to the audience.—Video Chapters00:00 - Introduction00:35 - Why starting with logos is bad01:02 - How I incorporate logos01:27 - Building brand recognition02:07 - Logo use for well known brands02:32 - Naughty Dog03:15 - The Last of Us Part II reveal03:57 - More examples of successful logo reveals05:08 - Devolver Digital05:33 - Annapurna Interactive05:43 - Final Thoughts—ABOUT MEHi, I'm Derek Lieu and I'm a game trailer editor!

What Video Editing Software Professional Trailer Editors Use Derek Lieu 2020-08-17 | Most professional movie and game trailer editing houses use Avid Media Composer or Premiere Pro (I use Premiere Pro too!) and here's why...The tl;drMost trailer houses got started on Avid Media Composer back when it was basically the only option and continued using it to this day. Some changed over to Final Cut Pro before version X, and then switched to Premiere. New trailer houses generally choose either Avid or Premiere Pro, and very few use Final Cut Pro X or any other alternative editing softwares.I got started on Premiere 5.1 (Before CS or CC), switched to editing on Final Cut Pro and stayed there until Final Cut Pro X came out, which is when I switched to Premiere Pro CS 5.5 and stayed on that until present day.I keep an eye on Final Cut Pro X, but it still has some dealbreakers like having no Replace Edit at Match Frame function. I'm also keeping an eye on Da Vinci Resolve because seeing an editing software being built from the ground up for modern systems is very exciting, and so far it seems to be well designed and smooth to use.If you'd like a video about the differences between Avid and Premiere Pro and/or a video about how to choose the editing software best suited for you and trailer editing, please leave a comment!—Video Chapters00:00 - Introduction00:30 - The video editing software trailer houses use01:22 - Why trailer houses use Avid and Premiere Pro03:02 - The video editing software I use03:56 - Alternate editing software05:13 - Editing software of the futureLinks:Get Started Fast with Avid Media Composer—Episode 3 - youtube.com/watch?v=BaCmCJPcveILearn From the Pros | Editing Basics in Premiere Pro w/Justin Odisho I Creative Cloud - youtube.com/watch?v=Px92xTrbJlAFP POV of Sound - Fast APM style (showing monitor, mouse and keyboard) - youtube.com/watch?v=bexWuHmV32AYuja Wang plays the Flight of the Bumble-Bee (Vol du Bourdon)- youtube.com/watch?v=8alxBofd_eQBehind The Scenes: Spider-Man 2 - Editing - youtube.com/watch?v=fzvC2owWeWEA Look Into Hollywood's Cutting Rooms | Adobe Creative Cloud - youtube.com/watch?v=wU5bwYvnTWIBehind the Scenes: Marvel's The Avengers - youtube.com/watch?v=xsPsFZDHW9EStar Trek: Storytelling on the Galactic Edge - youtube.com/watch?v=VDLgBe1hWi8Final Cut Pro (7) in action with Francis Ford Coppola and Walter Murch - youtube.com/watch?v=ZcF_J4t8eEADaVinci Resolve 14 Editing - youtube.com/watch?v=XTuvpin_z_MMETAL GEAR SOLID RISING E3 2010 trailer 60fps (original source) - youtube.com/watch?v=nIJ2Vze3Ifc#videoediting #trailerediting #editingsoftware—ABOUT MEHi, I'm Derek Lieu and I'm a game trailer editor!

5 Simple Game Trailer Templates | Video Game Trailer Academy Derek Lieu 2020-08-10 | Here are five simple to use game trailer templates! Especially for a first time game trailer maker, these are good ways to start your trailer's structure. Link to blog post derek-lieu.com/blog/2020/3/1/simple-game-trailer-templatesThe tl;dr:1. Tell, Show, RepeatUse a title card or narration to describe a thing in the game, then show a few clips of that thing.2. Music Video MontageTake fun gameplay footage and cut it to the beat of the music like a music video.3.

Why Game Trailers Need Sound Effects | Video Game Trailer Academy Derek Lieu 2020-07-27 | With a few exceptions, game trailers are better when the sound effects are on, because it gives a better feel for the gameplay.Original blog post - derek-lieu.com/blog/2020/1/10/why-your-game-trailer-needs-sound-effects-onThe tl;dr:Sound effects are important to video game design, so it's only natural to conclude they're important to feature in the game's trailers as well. They help flesh out the feel of a game, and can even help the viewer better see and understand the quick cut shots in the game's trailer. Yes, working sound effects into a game trailer is extra work, and can be a detriment to a game trailer when done poorly, but to not even try to take advantage of them is to miss an opportunity to better represent the game in the trailer.Think of the sound effects as an additional musical score to the trailer, and/or a means to punctuate moments and lines of dialogue. When integrating sound effects, strip out any unnecessary sounds which aren't related to the primary focus of a shot, and also make sure the sound effects aren't stepping on any other elements or making them difficult to be heard.Video Chapters00:00 - Why sound is important in games01:17 - How sound effects make game trailers better02:18 - Why working with sound effects is difficult02:46 - When sound effects are poorly edited into a trailer03:17 - Sound effects are an opportunity to flesh out the game04:08 - Sound effects as score and trailer punctuation04:50 - Tips for integrating sound effects into game trailers06:50 - Final thoughtsTrailers shown (in order of appearance)The Adventure Pals Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=ke1n3h-P5EEDead Cells Brutal Update Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=MpvSOxQ_orAThe American Dream Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=7nJRsWTzeQwHalf-Life: Alyx Reveal Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=O2W0N3uKXmoCybershadow Announce Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=sA_Sy-PkeMUKatana ZERO Therapy Session Session Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=vOdcl39LRo0Final Fantasy VII Remake Trailer E3 2019 - youtube.com/watch?v=Z3xSGv3HfioLa Mulana 1 & 2 Hidden Treasures Edition Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=wGi-CXoFZEMSubnautica Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=BtP8r8nRfkoWay of the Passive Fist Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=V9QwNonOnvYBattlefield V - Chapter 4 Defying the Odds Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=zVy9_DyIosQBattlefield V - Operation Underground Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=tRxUXoVNcK0Cosmic Trip Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=VxQXeGeI2ucFirewatch June 2015 Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=cXWlgP5hZzcAnarcute Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=CpJX4vZMjT0Dead Cells Release Date Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=02G3GUt6NzoSea of Stars Summer of Games Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=GZVLA08lcR0Heaven's Vault Story Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=ghsVOE93C9oOoblets E3 Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=PQDAbAhjEN4Neo Cab Story Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=jzFKrqffkQg&t=3sFigment Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=4yIIbH0SEmwStarbear Taxi Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=J8WTG7wANG0LinksAll Weapons (Sounds, Relaod Animation, Equipment) - The Last of Us Part II (PS4 Pro) 4K HDR - youtube.com/watch?v=UdF-KQNJ-yMMaxell Tapes Over 500 Plays TV Commercial HD - youtube.com/watch?v=t_SHOOotsnA—ABOUT MEHi, I'm Derek Lieu and I'm a game trailer editor!

The Best Game Trailer Length | Video Game Trailer Academy Derek Lieu 2020-07-13 | In most cases, game trailers should be 60-90 seconds or shorter.Original blog post - derek-lieu.com/blog/2018/12/20/ideal-game-trailer-length-and-labelingThe tl;dr:If you make your game trailer longer than 60-90 seconds and no one recognizes your studio or game name, you're fighting against the norm and increasing the likelihood they'll not watch or stop watching part way unless you have a very strong hook and good editing.It's better to make a shorter trailer with a lot of variety than a long trailer which repeats itself. If you don't have enough material for 60-90 seconds, make it shorter!It's also important to label your video properly. Don't call everything a trailer if it's more like a gameplay overview or devlog. That said, good editing can make a longer duration feel short, bad editing can make a short trailer feel long, and if you have a dedicated fan base you have more leeway to do whatever the heck you want.Weekly trailer tips: http://www.GameTrailerTips.comSupport on Patreon - http://www.patreon.com/dereklieuVideo Chapters00:00 - Introduction00:47 - Make it shorter01:25 - Length affects the decision to watch01:52 - Video lengths in terms of "meal size"02:43 - The title of the video calibrates duration expectations03:52 - Final takeawaysOriginal blog post - derek-lieu.com/blog/2018/12/20/ideal-game-trailer-length-and-labelingTrailers shown (in order of appearance)Death Stranding Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=tCI396HyhbQFirewatch E3 Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=jFWycMs-J4AInception Trailer 3 - youtube.com/watch?v=FiM51gvvW_sOoblets Announcement Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=AIaGm8JWyEMBloodroots Demo Release Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=OIF-gotkE5ECastle Costume Gameplay Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=8Yhr-t4Ib80Moving Out Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=WhoMkC9Zvw0Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime First Look Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=NwfRYGVADL0Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=KfjVIQug6_EPlanet Zoo Announcement Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=naQ0acqONwgSekiro Shadows Die Twice Gameplay Overview Trailer - Golf on Mars Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=EZ3a7KALcTQSOMERVILLE Teaser Trailer #2 - youtube.com/watch?v=3Wecsb0EiPcUntitled Goose Game Pre-Alpha Gameplay Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=eT-vvzCxQWMBehind the Scenes God of War (2018) Making Of - youtube.com/watch?v=yz4C_ZdFNWwHardspace Shipbreaker Gameplay Overview Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=wN82DJGmq7oAssassin's Creed Freedom Cry Gameplay Walkthrough Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=VsUDGZgHDXwOoblets March 2018 Develop! - youtube.com/watch?v=DL8B9zfgUzcFinal Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition New Features Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=PdZGeI1egzQAssassin's Creed Revelations E3 Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=HMsbMK9OdocShenmue III The Story Goes on Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=xeME6jLvMOcKerbal Space Program 2 Cinematic Announce Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=P_nj6wW6GscMusic:Death Stranding Theme TGA TeaserFirewatch OST - Camp ApproachFirewatch OST - North BackcountryFirewatch OST - Stay in Your Tower and Watchchrisremo.bandcamp.com/album/firewatch-original-score—ABOUT MEHi, I'm Derek Lieu and I'm a game trailer editor!

Why Slow Intros Are Bad For Game Trailers | Video Game Trailer Academy Derek Lieu 2020-06-29 | A lot of game trailers start with shots of the environments. With a few exceptions this is a bad way to start off a game trailer because players want to see gameplay as soon as possible!The tl;dr:Slow tracking shots through game environments are an ineffective way to start a game trailer because players want to see recognizable gameplay as soon as possible, and those shots do not help them understand much more than what the art direction looks like. Big AAA games get away with it because of production value and because they're frequently shown at live events which people cannot skip through when watching.If you're going to use environment shots:1. Limit them to 1-2 at a time2. Intercut them with footage of player interaction3. Make them story rich and SPECIFIC to your game as possible.Weekly trailer tips: http://www.GameTrailerTips.comSupport on Patreon - http://www.patreon.com/dereklieuVideo Chapters00:00 - The reality of slow intros to trailers01:30 - Why environment shot intros are bad for game trailers03:45 - Tips for effectively using environment shots04:05 - Augmenting environment shots with story04:48 - The bare minimum of showing player interaction06:03 - Example of good slow environment intro07:05 - How slow intros can work for live events08:00 - Recap and tips for using environment shotsTrailers shown (in order of appearance)The Talos Principle Official Teaser Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=Q6Edwcn469MThe Sojourn Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=306wVXtED90Mission Impossible Fallout Official Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=wb49-oV0F78John Wick Chapter 3 Parabellum Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=M7XM597XO94GREYHOUND Official Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=eyzxu26-WqkAstroneer Release Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=87V00m2hHCgGigantosaurus The Game Announce Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=S79JK8AGTzgMetro Exodus Sam's Story Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=9qta2HNDHYoDemon's Souls Remake Official Reveal Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=2TMs2E6cms4Gleamlight Announcement Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=aZQJFvVJJ0kIncredible Mandy Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=nM8AZfHhRZwFirewatch June 2015 Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=cXWlgP5hZzcWhat Remains of Edith Finch Official Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=S0kKF5f8nS0The Flame in the Flood Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=ADdm3h0-QjgAmnesia A Machine For Pigs Teaser - youtube.com/watch?v=4CagMNLxa9MThe Bradwell Conspiracy Reveal Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=6DA7HdyfafsDear Esther Official Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=D7VJ4lP-05AEverybody's Gone to the Rapture Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=w1tBl7upgDUSunset Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=965e4x4bKq4Horizon Forbidden West Announce Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=Lq594XmpPBgThe Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Official Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=1rPxiXXxftEThe Last of Us Part II PSX 2016 Reveal Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=W2Wnvvj33WoMetro Exodus Story Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=LlaSxWvefrgDoom Eternal Official E3 Story Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=2HOClc6Svg4The Talos Principle Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=iAVh4_wnOIwSOMA Story Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=BZTfi1jv-EEThe Witness first official gameplay trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=i7h7AleSCF4Music:The Talos Principle OST - Welcome to HeavenAstroneer OST - Main MenuIncredible Mandy Theme Song - To the ButterflyThe Bradwell Conspiracy OST - Austin WintorySunset OST - How it Might Have BeenThe Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Theme The Last of Us 2 Main Theme - Gustavo SantaolallaLinks:"Movie trailers have a new trick to keep you watching — and the people who make them hate it"businessinsider.com/teaser-in-movie-trailers-2016-5"Why movie trailers now begin with five-second ads for themselves"theverge.com/2016/4/22/11487410/movie-trailers-independence-day-jason-bourneThe Last of Us 2 Crowd Reaction - PSX 2016youtube.com/watch?v=4K0C3eUS4uE—ABOUT MEHi, I'm Derek Lieu and I'm an indie game trailer editor!Over many years I worked as an editor, and started making fan trailers for games until eventually I got jobs at game trailer houses in Los Angeles where I worked on games like Mortal Kombat X, Shadow of Mordor and lots of LEGO games.

Why Turning the HUD Off Makes Game Trailers Better | Video Game Trailer Academy Derek Lieu 2020-06-15 | If you think you need to leave your game's HUD or UI turned on for game trailers, think again. This video explains why the Game HUD or UI is important for game players, but distracting for game trailer audiences. The tl;dr:If your trailer is about presenting the premise of the game (the idea, the elevator pitch, the message) to a new audience turn the HUD and UI elements off.If your trailer is for an audience who is already intrigued by your idea and wants to know specifics about the game mechanics and how it plays when it's in there hands, you'll want to turn the HUD on! If your game absolutely cannot be understood without HUD and UI turned on, show only as much as needed per each shot.Weekly trailer tips: http://www.GameTrailerTips.comSupport on Patreon - http://www.patreon.com/dereklieuVideo Chapters00:00 - When and Why HUD and UI are important00:38 - Why HUDs are distracting in game trailers01:38 - Bad use of HUD in game trailers03:26 - Good use of HUD in game trailers05:09 - Final thoughtsGames shown (in order of appearance)The Wonderful 101 RemasteredFights in Tight SpacesVoid BastardsWay of the Passive FistPredator Hunting GroundsFinal Fantasy VIInto the BreachDead CellsCrystarPreyTools Up!Mark of the Ninja RemasteredThimbleweed ParkPaper Mario The Origami KingSubnauticaTacomaSpelunky HDHeaven's VaultHollow KnightTIS-100FlotsamLonely Mountains DownhillCompany of CrimeSnow RunnerManifold GardenOobletsNeo CabTrailers shown (in order of appearance)Wonderful 101 Remastered Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=wvlcVFLdEFkFights in Tight Spaces Announcement Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=eFvirN-0yncInto the Breach Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=oaiFvuWsfy8Crystar Gameplay Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=HwocxuSf4YIPrey Mooncrash E3 2018 Launch Trailer - youtube.com/watch?v=qUJqMiUPTFMTools Up!
