Creating a trailer requires carefully picking out and piecing together brief enticing moments out of a longer video, making it a chal- lenging and time-consuming task. This requires selecting moments based on both visual and dialogue information. We introduce a multi-modal method for predicting the trailerness to assist editors in selecting trailer- worthy moments from long-form videos. We present results on a newly introduced soap opera dataset, demonstrating that predicting trailerness is a challenging task that benefits from multi-modal information.
