Make a movie trailer from your story and footage.
Can I make a movie trailer with Ghostmotion?
Start with a story brief and the footage or images you want to use. Ghostmotion helps plan shots and assemble a short promotional cut, with revisions directed in chat. Use this workflow to establish tone and build interest. Supply the original footage when the trailer needs to represent specific scenes, performances or continuity from an existing film.
