Clips4Sale does indeed have an option for store owners to offer brief 10 second trailers but not all store owners use that option.
The C4S trailer capability sucks for three reasons. 1- they all come out in 16x9 instead of 4x3 even for the many SD videos they have on there which makes the videos loked distorted. 2- the on-the-fly default flash compression sucks. I just added links from all my full length video clips to my own small trailers for each scene that they can spawn in their media player or download and watch. That way they come out in the correct aspect ratio and they also look nicer with my own superior encoding. 3- you are limited to the snippets they have to select from instead of creating your custom trailer as you wish. It's not a perfect solution since my trailers aren't part of the thumbnail itself, but the presentation is under my control at least.
