Why a Trailer Converts Better Than a Synopsis

Vodlix trailers management exists because a trailer converts where a synopsis does not. A browsing viewer gives each title about a second of attention, and a fifteen second trailer answers the question of whether to watch far better than three paragraphs of description. Trailers on every title page raise play rates, which in turn improves retention and the value of your catalogue. For an OTT service, trailers are the most effective sales tool on the title page.

Trailers Attached to Each Title

In Vodlix, the trailer is part of the title record rather than a separate asset stored elsewhere. Each film, series or episode carries its own trailer, displayed on the title page and in featured placements across web, mobile and TV. A single trailer can be reused across a season or franchise without uploading it twice, so managing previews for a large catalogue stays simple. The trailer lives with the content it promotes.


Trailers Published Independently of the Title

Vodlix gives each trailer its own published state, independent of the title it belongs to. You can swap a teaser for the full trailer, refresh a preview for a new campaign or take one down without republishing the title or affecting its availability. A new upload becomes the published trailer instantly. Separating trailer publishing from title publishing keeps marketing updates fast and keeps the catalogue stable while previews change.


Upload and Transcode Trailers Automatically

Adding a trailer in Vodlix is a drop zone and a file picker, with supported formats shown up front so there is no guesswork. Once uploaded, the trailer is transcoded through the same pipeline as your main media, producing adaptive renditions for every device. That means a trailer plays as smoothly on a phone over mobile data as on a television, and never stalls in the moment it should be selling the title. Your team drops the file and moves on.


Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about taking advantage of this limited-time offer? Check out the FAQ for answers.

Can every title on Vodlix have its own trailer?
Yes. Every film, series and episode in Vodlix can carry its own trailer, either uploaded fresh or reused from your existing trailer library, and it appears on the title page and in featured placements.
How do I update a trailer on Vodlix?
Upload a new trailer file to the title in the Vodlix CMS and it becomes the published trailer immediately. No ticket, no republishing of the title and no developer involvement is required.
Can one trailer be used for several titles?
Yes. Vodlix lets you attach a single trailer from your library to multiple titles, which is ideal for seasons of a series or franchise films that share one preview.
Will trailers play smoothly on mobile devices?
Yes. Vodlix transcodes trailers through the same pipeline as your main media, producing adaptive renditions so a trailer plays smoothly on a phone over mobile data as well as on a television.
Is a trailer published together with its title?
No. In Vodlix a trailer has its own published state, separate from the title, so you can swap, refresh or remove a trailer without changing the title's availability.
Where do viewers see the trailer?
On the title itself, as a button beside Play on the web and as an action in the title menu on television. It plays in your own player, so the branding and controls are the same ones the rest of your service uses rather than something visibly different.
Do I need a trailer for every title?
No, and titles work perfectly well without one. That said, a trailer is the single cheapest thing you can add to improve how often a title gets started, because it answers in seconds what a synopsis cannot. If you are prioritising, start with whatever you are actively promoting.
Can I remove a trailer after adding it?
Yes. Each trailer can be edited or deleted from the same list, so a cut you are no longer allowed to show or a file that turned out to be the wrong one can be taken down directly rather than needing anybody technical.
