I've been seeing more indie authors and small publishers experiment with AI video tools to create promo trailers for their books. As someone who reads a lot on my e-reader, I'm curious whether this is actually useful for the reading community or mostly noise.
I've been testing Kling 3.0 (
https://kling3ai.co/) recently - it's an AI video generator that creates short clips from text prompts. The idea would be to take a book's blurb or key scenes and turn them into a 10-15 second visual teaser for social media. The quality is surprisingly decent for a web tool, and you don't need video editing skills.
Has anyone here tried something like this? Do you find AI-generated trailers helpful for discovering books, or would you rather see traditional covers and excerpts? I'm also curious if publishers have guidelines around AI-generated promo material yet.
