Maybe make a cool montage about what your videos is all about?

This is for the fan finder but it applies to channel trailers as well.

Yeah this video is fantastic, I would suggest looking around for stuff to do with either fan finder or channel trailers they are essentially the same final product.

I checked yours out. Maybe shy away from labeling it "Subscribe to... etc" but instead make it more like "Introduction to my channel" or along those lines. It makes it more personal and seem like less of a command. Other than that, you need to tailor your trailer to whether or not you will be promoting it across YouTube. Also go for something short and sweet, less talk, more examples of what you feel is your best content.

Thanks everyone! That video is really helpful no doubt.

Short and simple..it should also have some comedy and a preview of what ur channel is about

Ya I definitely see how adding a little bit of humor can go a long ways.

I have a few channel trailers and introductions on my page, so feel free to check them out for extra ideas. In my opinion, the first 5 seconds needs to be very catchy, to grab their attention. So put your best clip at the beginning.

I tried a few diffirent ideas when it comes to a channel trailer. I found the most engaging to be a somewhat humorous take on your content. Obviously this only works if you have a rather humorous take on your own content. If you a channel about sick kids or something I wouldn't do it. The best advice I can give though is make it under 30 seconds, your trailer will only be viewed by nonsubscribers and most of them will leave your main channel in a hurry to either watch your video or move off the channel, so try to get your message out as quickly as possible. Consider it a commercial, do the 4 minute commercials normally sell you a product? Or is it more about that quicky 15 second movie teaser.
