Okay, but this trailer is starting from a really bad place. Your homework is to go re-edit that trailer and use some alternate clips and fix everything ADG said, plus delete the split second of a videoo clip that remains in there after the voice that you have too delete. And while you are at it lose all those stupid transitions, (just use jump cuts between clips of different angles or simply use a cross-dissolve, nothing else) , encode it to a slightly higher video bitrate (it's too crappy looking), maybe sharpen the video just a little bit and maybe increase the color saturation. And consider adding some kind of image maybe a logo with with a url to the beginning and end that identifies what this trailer of for. And audio wise- maybe mix in some appropriate music mixed down low or ambient sound effects that works.
