Common pitfalls & variations
Don’t overload the teaser with text. Viewers can’t read a paragraph on a phone screen. Stick to 2‑3 short lines of copy and let the visuals do the talking. Also, avoid generic stock clips that look like every other promo; pick footage that matches your event’s vibe.
If you need a vertical version for Stories, simply change the format to 9:16 and let Vaideo re‑render. For multi‑day festivals, create a series of 15‑second teasers, each highlighting a different headliner. Consistency in branding (same font, colors, logo placement) ties the series together.

- ★Display the date and location in large, contrasting subtitles.
- ★Keep the brand logo in one corner for the whole clip; don’t flash it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make a teaser for free?+
Yes. The free plan lets you create one 30‑second video per day with a Vaideo watermark. You can remove the watermark by buying a pack or upgrading to Pro.
What format should I use for social platforms?+
Horizontal 16:9 works best on YouTube and Facebook. For TikTok, Instagram Reels or Shorts, switch to vertical 9:16.
Do I need my own footage?+
No. Vaideo pulls royalty‑free stock clips that fit your brief. You can upload your own assets in the editor if you prefer.
How long should a teaser be?+
Aim for 15‑30 seconds. Anything longer risks losing viewers before they see the key details.
Can I add subtitles in another language?+
Yes. Choose any of the supported narration languages and Vaideo will generate matching subtitles automatically.
