What is an IMOVIETRAILER file?

An IMOVIETRAILER file stores a trailer created by the iOS version of Apple iMovie, a video-editing application. It may contain one or more video clips, titles, transitions, and settings. iMovie users save videos as IMOVIETRAILER files when creating Hollywood-style movie trailers from templates packaged with iMovie.
