@@DerekLieu Ahh. Cool. I get a bit confused with the aspect ratio for Tiktok. I don't even think my video editing software has a setting for it 😅. I've watched tons of interviews with you on UA-cam and the GDC talks haha. If I could hire you I would! Glad to see you're still going strong. I've seen tons of people quit various things since starting Dev life over the last few years. From YT to game dev & reviewers. All sorts of things really. Keep it up!

These videos have been great! I am working on my first video game trailer and these lessons and tips have been very helpful. Is there any fighting game trailers you recommend?
Glad you like the videos! I haven't given fighting games much attention because by design they're very visual and easy to understand, so they don't really have to solve the problems a lot of other game trailers do. I think even when they have a new mechanic they don't really have to spend a lot of time explaining it (if any). As long as the editing is well executed with a nice mix of gameplay they don't have to do much more. The worst I've ever seen is just bad dialogue editing where there are cinematic moments but no coherence to the trailer's story. That said, I quite liked this Samurai Showdown trailer ua-cam.com/video/1mXTzNQVyc0/v-deo.html If you want to extend it to single screen multiplayer games (which are VERY tough to make trailers for) I recommend the Towerfall trailers by my friend Kert Gartner.
Thanks for the video Derek! As a beginner in this topic, the tips and tricks that you shared are quite useful. Do you have any recommendation for free tools and tutorials where to start with? Thanks!
Da Vinci Resolve is a GREAT free editing app. But I’d you’re going with Premiere, this is a great beginner’s guide ua-cam.com/video/8eDsvKwM40U/v-deo.html
@@DerekLieu just what to thank you once again! DaVinci Resolve is an awesome free tool! And also has really great community (I found tutorials for all the things I wanted to achieve). Should you have couple of minutes free, check out the trailer that I created for the game I'm developing (it will be available soon) Btw I'm really open for feedback :) Thus, if you have any comments, recommendations, critics, I would really appreciate your feedback! Thank you once again! ua-cam.com/video/zrGRB_9Py-0/v-deo.html
Thanks! I use Premiere Pro, but use whatever you feel comfortable with. It's only important to use specific software when you're working at an office where you have to use what they use or collaborating with people you need to share files with.
What is your question? Are you asking if a character trailer is a type of trailer? Are you asking if it’s a viable trailer? How to make a character trailer?
That good and all but what if is multiplayer arena game And have some disaings that's selling point what then? For example the I'm trying to create is fps multiplayer game I'm not able a trailer Base on the story because this dasn't have a story also if don't the this and that how people able this that is multiplayer game and this has local multiplayer with split screen ? Is not like the is finish I'm just curious because most off the I'm going to create multiplayer games pvp game and don't stuff like so very important to understand the besices off those types off games
Then you have to create a gameplay story that highlights the game mechanics and the loop of a match. I recommend the Halo Infinite multiplayer trailers and also Splitgate trailers. Call or Duty Warzone trailers are good too.
@@DerekLieu there is few more problem if do that 1. my primeri language is not English that means the acend I will be Way off 2. I'm not voice actor probably the performance I will not be good at all 3. I have never create a trailer so I don't think I will esye for my to create the dialogue
@@watercat1248 If that's the case: 1. Try to make the trailer without voiceover 2. Hire a voice actor/narrator 3. Use title cards which are in English and get a native speaker to check your spelling and grammer.
Another great example of Game Trailer Structure #4 is the trailer for Islanders.
Thanks for the video Derek, it's really helpful!
That's a good one I hadn't seen. Thanks for sharing!
Will watch this again and take notes the second time around! Great video content, thanks for doing this Derek!
You’re welcome!
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Not been too confident in my trailers so far, will look at this again when I start a new one :)
Great to hear! ^_^
This is great, Derek! I love getting to see you in the video! :D
Thanks, Josh! Hope you and your family are doing well ^_^
bro you've got no idea how much this helps me. Great video!
You’re welcome! I have loads more on my website 😃
One word...."UNDERRATED"
Haha, thank you!
I have no idea how I'm not subbed to this channel until now. Great advice Derek. I guess I been watching you on other channels all this time 😅.
Thanks! This is where I started, but producing UA-cam videos is so much more work so I switched to Tiktok to better fit my schedule ^^;

Key information! Gold I tell you, gold! Thank you.
This was really helpful! Still in script & concept design "section" as I like to call it. Again thank you for showing this video!
Thanks for watching!
This is such a niche channel. I love it!
thanks for sharing! Great!
Your welcome!

You're very welcome!
Not sure if my trailer is gonna be any good but surely your video is excellent, I'll try my best, thank you 😊
Good luck!!!
This was very helpful, thank you!
Great to hear!
i just read your article then found this video without knowing that it was you. what a coincidence
Hahaha, hello!
High-quality video! really nice
What music did you use in the background of this video, it is really good
There are two free music tracks used from UA-cam's music library:
"Grut" by Patrick Patrikios
"Jindupe" by Lauren Duski
@@DerekLieu Thanks
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much.
You’re very welcome!
@@DerekLieu thank you, Sir! 😊
This is definitely helpful thank you dude!
Glad to hear it!

@@DerekLieu Yeah with what we've made it's pretty much following #2. It's been fun to put together and line up gameplay with music.
Thanks for the video Derek!

awesome video

This was truly helpful

Great video! btw. which video editing program you use? or which one you recommend?

@@DerekLieu Thx Good to know :D
Excellent lesson!!!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome information, great content.
Keith Thomas Glad you like it!
Would be cool to send you trailer and you can review them and give advice :D
4:07 he sounds like Mark brown
Haha, that's Alex Ashby who narrates the amazing podcast somethingtrue.net :D
@@DerekLieu ah ok
Ur sooo underrated
What type of trailer can be made for a text based game?
How do you call this type of transition effect at 1:28 and 1:34?
This isn't really a special effect of any sort, it's just in the motion graphic, the camera suddenly tracks in while simultaneously cross fading out.
Very good trailer templates. We could've used a few tips like this when we were making our latest trailer! #molliemordecaigame
Glad you liked them!
For some reasons trailers with gameplay and no hud make me uncomfortable to watch lol
Haha this is the first I’ve heard of this reaction
derek , i recently saw a game video trailer. It was more like a movie trailer stuff i guess. Could you try to explain it The game is darkarta
What are the questions you have about the trailer?
Is Canva a good tool to use when making game trailers?
I've never used it before but it looks fairly limited. If you're looking for something free, check out Davinci Resolve.
@@DerekLieu Will do bud, thanks!
VGTA this is like GTA V
What about a character trailer.
What is your question? Are you asking if a character trailer is a type of trailer? Are you asking if it’s a viable trailer? How to make a character trailer?
@@DerekLieu I'm asking how to make a character trailer.
That good and all but what if is multiplayer arena game
And have some disaings that's selling point what then?
For example the I'm trying to create is fps multiplayer game I'm not able a trailer Base on the story because this dasn't have a story also if don't the this and that how people able this that is multiplayer game and this has local multiplayer with split screen ?
Is not like the is finish I'm just curious because most off the I'm going to create multiplayer games pvp game and don't stuff like so very important to understand the besices off those types off games
Then you have to create a gameplay story that highlights the game mechanics and the loop of a match. I recommend the Halo Infinite multiplayer trailers and also Splitgate trailers. Call or Duty Warzone trailers are good too.
@@DerekLieu there is few more problem if do that
1. my primeri language is not English that means the acend I will be Way off
2. I'm not voice actor probably the performance I will not be good at all
3. I have never create a trailer so I don't think I will esye for my to create the dialogue
@@watercat1248 If that's the case:
1. Try to make the trailer without voiceover
2. Hire a voice actor/narrator
3. Use title cards which are in English and get a native speaker to check your spelling and grammer.
@@DerekLieu okay thanks 👍
stayhome
Boooooo
-urns
I have 3 weeks to finish my Illustrations and Animate my game trailer 🥲
This is definitely helpful thank you dude!
You’re very welcome!
@@DerekLieu how can I use a certain dramatic or epic music for the trailer without getting a copyright
