About this gig

I will produce a high-converting promo trailer video that turns curious browsers into enrolled students — a tight, persuasive 30 to 90 second pitch for your online course.

Your course page can be brilliant and still convert poorly if visitors do not understand, in the first ten seconds, what they will be able to do after taking it. A promo trailer fixes that. I take your existing material — module list, slides, a few talking-head clips, screen recordings, or even just a written outline — and shape it into a sharp, benefit-led video designed to be the first thing a prospect watches on your sales page, your ad, or your platform listing (Teachable, Kajabi, Thinkific, Udemy, Podia, or your own site).

What you get

  • A finished, edited promo trailer delivered as an MP4 file (H.264), sized for the platform you sell on
  • A scripted hook-and-payoff structure: pattern-interrupt opening, the problem your course solves, what the student walks away able to do, proof/credibility, and a clear call to action
  • Clean, paced editing with cuts timed to hold attention, not just stitched clips
  • On-screen text, lower-thirds, and animated kinetic captions for the sound-off autoplay environment
  • Licensed background music and sound design that fits the tone (energetic, calm-authority, premium, etc.)
  • Color correction and audio leveling so your footage looks and sounds consistent
  • A branded intro/outro with your logo, course name, and CTA end card
  • Burned-in captions or a separate .SRT subtitle file for accessibility and silent viewing
  • Export presets for where it lives: 16:9 for sales pages and YouTube, plus optional 9:16 and 1:1 cutdowns for ads and social

You provide the raw ingredients (footage, screen recordings, logo, brand colors, and a sense of who the course is for). I provide the script, structure, edit, and polish.

Plans

TierLengthScope
BasicUp to ~30sSingle trailer from your supplied footage/assets, scripted hook + CTA, on-screen text, licensed music, one aspect ratio, 1 revision
StandardUp to ~60sFull trailer with kinetic captions, branded intro/outro, color + audio cleanup, two aspect ratios (e.g. 16:9 + 9:16), 2 revisions
PremiumUp to ~90sPremium edit with motion graphics, stock B-roll integration, subtitle file, three aspect ratios + a short ad cutdown, custom thumbnail frame, 3 revisions

Every plan includes a written script for your approval before editing begins, so nothing is built on a guess.

How it works

  1. Brief. You tell me the course name, who it is for, the transformation it delivers, where the trailer will run, and the tone you want. You share footage, screen recordings, slides, logo, and brand assets.
  2. Script & structure. I write a short trailer script and shot map matched to your material and your platform. You review and approve it.
  3. First edit. I assemble the cut — pacing, captions, music, color, and audio — and send you a private preview link to watch.
  4. Revisions. You give timestamped feedback. I refine the edit within your tier's revision count.
  5. Delivery. I export the final MP4 (plus any extra aspect ratios or subtitle files in your plan) and hand over the files ready to upload.

Why choose this

The difference between a trailer that sells and a montage that wanders is structure. I do not just cut footage to a beat — I lead with a hook that earns the next five seconds, frame the problem in your prospect's own words, and make the payoff (what they will be able to do) impossible to miss before the CTA lands. Every choice serves one goal: more clicks on enroll.

I also build for how people actually watch. Most autoplay views happen muted, so captions and on-screen text carry the message even with the sound off. Files are exported correctly for each destination, so your ad platform or course host accepts them without re-encoding headaches.

You stay in control. The script is approved before a single clip is placed, and revisions are timestamped so feedback is precise and fast.

Who it's for / use cases

  • Course creators launching on Teachable, Kajabi, Thinkific, Podia, or Udemy who need a sales-page trailer
  • Coaches and consultants packaging their expertise into a paid program
  • Educators and subject-matter experts who have footage and slides but no edited promo
  • Marketers running paid traffic who need a short video ad to drive enrollments
  • Membership and cohort-based course owners refreshing a stale or missing trailer
  • Anyone with raw lessons recorded who needs a 30 to 90 second hook to put at the top of the funnel

FAQ

Q: What do you need from me to start? Your course name, target audience, the core transformation it delivers, where the trailer will run, and your raw assets — footage, screen recordings, slides, logo, and brand colors. The more context on your ideal student, the sharper the script.

Q: Do you film or record the footage? No. This is an editing and production service — I work from the footage, screen recordings, and assets you supply. If you have no footage at all, the Premium tier can lean on stock B-roll, motion graphics, and on-screen text to carry the story.

Q: Can you write the script, or do I need to? I write the trailer script as part of every tier and send it for your approval before editing. You are welcome to provide your own script or talking points, and I will shape them into trailer form.

Q: How long will the finished trailer be? It depends on the tier — roughly up to 30, 60, or 90 seconds. Promo trailers convert best when they are short and tight, so I aim for the shortest length that still lands the hook, payoff, and CTA.

Q: What file formats do I receive? A finished MP4 (H.264) sized for your platform, plus any additional aspect ratios and a subtitle (.SRT) file included in your selected plan. Source project files are not included by default.

Q: How many revisions are included? Basic includes 1 round, Standard 2, and Premium 3. Revisions are based on the approved script, so structural surprises are rare — most feedback is fine-tuning pacing, text, and music.

Q: Will it work as a paid ad as well as a sales-page trailer? Yes. Standard and Premium include vertical and square cutdowns suited to social and ad placements, and Premium adds a dedicated short ad cutdown so you can run traffic and host the longer version on your page.

Q: Do you provide the music, and is it licensed? Yes. I use properly licensed background music and sound design, so you can publish and advertise the trailer without copyright issues.

    Exactly the punchy course trailer I needed for my ads, the way the benefits are sequenced just makes you want to sign up. Smooth to work with from start to finish.

    Solid trailer that captures what my course delivers and ends on a strong enrollment prompt. Took one revision round to dial in the tone but the final cut was great.

    Didn't expect a short promo video to feel this polished, the on-screen text highlighting my key selling points is clean and easy to read. Quick on the edits too.

    Good quality promo with nice transitions and a clear sell on my course. Would have liked it a touch shorter but overall really happy with how it came out.

    The promo trailer he produced for my online course is honestly better than I imagined, the hook in the first few seconds and the closing call to action are exactly right. Already seeing more enrollments since I added it to my sales page.

    He turned my rough clips and slides into a high energy trailer that actually makes my course look worth buying. The pacing and music choice really pull you through to the end.
