Made Hollywood trailer. Under 2 hours. $0 dollars.
I just turned my script into an AI trailer using 5 tools in under 2 hours for free.

I just turned my script into an AI trailer using 5 tools in under 2 hours for free.
Here’s the 60-second trailer and some of the tools I used:
Google Gemini Veo 3 - Main video generator (3x 8-second clips daily)
Canva - Also has Veo 3, plus made my movie logo (6 videos/month)
Parrot AI - Celebrity voice cloning (Justin Timberlake lead, Taylor Swift female, Leo DiCaprio antagonist)
Claude - Script optimization and individual scene prompts
iMovie - Free editing, learned reverse/flip/slow-mo to fix AI quirks
The Frustration: Everything's credit-based with no unlimited option for AI video yet. You're gambling on quality without knowing what you'll get.
The Result: A trailer that looks studio-quality but cost nothing except time figuring out the tools.
Next, I’ll be testing how to showcase this AI trailer to go viral on social media.
Talk soon,
