AI book trailer maker from your chapter or blurb
A book trailer is not a full adaptation. It is a 20 to 45 second promise: tone, a face, and a reason to open the sample.
Paste a blurb or the chapter with the strongest turn. AlphaDrama picks the moments, locks the leads and ends on a hook you can post above your store link.
Example: 30-second trailer: Lily is rejected by Alpha Damon on her 18th birthday. That night she shifts into a white wolf. End on the eyes, not the explanation.
Trailer length, not episode length
Ask for a short trailer instead of a full episode. The shot list stays tight: a cold image, one line of conflict, a face the reader will meet in chapter one, and a title card beat you can add in your description.
Keep the book's voice
If you paste your own lines, those lines stay. Narration should sound like the book, not like a generic movie-ad voice. Romance, fantasy and thriller each need a different pace; the cast lock keeps the people stable while the tone changes.
- Works from a blurb, a chapter, or a logline
- The same faces can later become a full chapter episode
- 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, or a wider cut for YouTube and your site
What to put in the first three seconds
Do not open on a landscape. Open on the rejection, the letter, the locked door. Readers who already like your genre decide in those seconds whether this is their kind of trouble.
Rights are yours to prove
Only adapt a book you wrote or have the rights to promote. Public-domain classics are a clean first test. Do not upload someone else's novel to "see how it looks."
From trailer to a serial
If the trailer works, the same project can become chapter-by-chapter episodes. That is the novel-to-video path: same cast, longer scenes, cliffhangers. The trailer stays the ad; the episodes stay the sample.
How it works
Start with a story or a product
Paste a chapter, an outline or a one-line idea. For an ad, add product photos or a product link.
We cast, storyboard and voice it
Characters get fixed looks, scenes get sets, and the script is split into shots with voices and captions.
Review the price, then export
You see the cost before any video renders. Export a 9:16 file for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a book trailer be?
Twenty to forty-five seconds is enough for a hook. A full chapter episode is a different product; see novel to video.
Will it spoil the plot?
You choose the excerpt. A trailer should tease the turn, not explain the last chapter.
Can I use the same cast later for a series?
Yes. Keep the project and adapt the next chapters with the same references.
Which genres trailer well?
Romance, fantasy, thriller and drama with a clear face and a clear want. Werewolf, billionaire and revenge stories already have an audience on short video.
