Wrote this blogpost showing how I made the trailer for Academia : School Simulator.  You should have a pro do your trailer when you can afford it, but it was a fun exercise for me and I think it's doable for many devs.

Happy to answer any additional questions here.

Really nice and interesting, thanks!

Not sure if you're looking for feedback on your trailer, but in case you are: I found the titles a bit 'uncomfortable' to read... it's not that I cannot make out what they say, it's just that they take more effort to read. I spent a long time trying to figure out why, and I think it's because (1) the titles are taken from the same color palette as the background, (2) the background is moving, which grabs your attention. I think temporary blurring and darkening the background (both easy in Premiere) would solve this.

Thanks, yeah I did have some concern about some of the text.  If there's enough time I will take another pass at the trailer to sort out those issues.

Great post. I never heard of that video editor before. I'm surprised he didn't use Blender, it's free and I heard quite good.
