Questions
Which genres work?
Action, horror (dread, no gore), heist, sci-fi and mystery. Leave it blank for action.
Does it copy real movies?
No. No real films, studios, actors or franchises, just the feel of a trailer.
How do I make it cheaper?
Turn off the animated shot in More options; the climax stays a still with a slow push-in.
Can I put my own photos into the trailer?
The form only asks for a text description and an optional genre, so there is no photo upload on this page. The images are generated from your sentence. If you want to work with your own pictures, try the image or video tools instead.
Why is the trailer so short?
The format is built from a fixed structure: three title cards, three shots and a closing title. That keeps it quick to make and affordable. For longer stories, look at the movie or short film tools.
What if the narration gets a detail wrong?
Rewrite your sentence to be more specific, naming the object, place or person involved, then generate again. Short, concrete wording usually gives the script less room to guess.
Can I change the music or the voice afterwards?
The page does not offer a music or voice picker, since the track comes from the music library. You can download the video and replace the audio in an editor if you want something different.
What makes a good 'very small epic' to type?
Pick an everyday moment and treat it like a blockbuster: the last slice of pizza, a Monday morning alarm, a lost TV remote. The smaller and more ordinary the event, the funnier the serious title cards and trailer narration feel against it.

Before and after: what changes
This tool does not edit an existing photo. It turns a one-line everyday problem, such as the 'very small epic' you type in, into a short trailer with title cards, escalating shots, narration and captions.
- What changes
- A plain sentence becomes a dramatic script, generated images in your chosen genre's look, a narrated voiceover and a closing title with a tagline. The mundane problem is treated as if it were a blockbuster.
- What stays the same
- The core idea is still your own. The subject you typed is the thread running through every shot, and the format stays fixed: black title cards, three escalating shots, then the title and fine print.
- What to look at when you compare
- Check that the wording of the narration matches the problem you described and that the genre mood fits. Also watch the last shot and the title card, since they carry the biggest payoff.
Ideas that work, and ideas that don't
Works well
- A small, relatable problem like a missing sock or an empty coffee pot gives the trailer a funny contrast between tiny stakes and big drama.
- One clear subject in a short sentence lets the three shots escalate around the same idea instead of drifting.
- Picking one of the listed genres (action, horror, heist, sci-fi or mystery) gives the images and narration a consistent look.
Avoid
- A long paragraph with many events is hard to turn into three shots, so the story gets muddled and key details are dropped.
- Requests for gore, real films, studios, actors or franchises will not be followed, because the trailer only borrows the general feel of the genre.
- A vague input like 'something funny' gives the script nothing specific to escalate, so the result feels generic.
Step by step
- Write the tiny problemIn the 'What's the (very small) epic?' box, type one short sentence describing the everyday problem. Name the object or situation clearly, because the script and all three shots build on it.
- Choose a genre or leave it blankUse the optional Genre field to pick action, horror, heist, sci-fi or mystery. If you leave it blank, the tool makes its own example in the action style.
- Open More options and check the costClick 'More options +' to see whether the animated climax shot is switched on. Compare the credit total next to the 'Make it' button before you start, since turning off animation makes it cheaper.
- Press Make it and wait for each stageThe tool moves through the 'Pick a format', 'Make it yours' and 'Get your video' stages. Failed shots are refunded, so if one fails you are not charged for it.
- Review the finished trailerWatch it once with sound and once without. Check that captions line up with the narration, the climax shot looks right, and the final title and fine print read clearly. If anything is off, rephrase your sentence and try again.
How the trailer is put together
- Script & plan
- The first step writes the narration and plans the three shots so they escalate in order. This is the cheapest part of the cost breakdown.
- Images and video shots
- Images are generated for the shots in your genre's look, and the climax can be animated. Video shots are the largest share of the cost, which is why turning off the animated shot saves the most.
- Voiceover and captions
- Narration is spoken over the trailer and shown word by word as captions, with a cinematic track from the music library underneath.
- Title and end cards
- The black title cards, the light-sweep title and the fine-print end card are drawn in code, so the text stays sharp and readable.
