Making your novel's trailer look good

[umineko]

So, I've gotten to making the trailer for my visual novel, and I'm doing it myself! No need to hire expensive filmmakers! I am aiming to make it look professionally made, and from one of those cute & moe anime (or whatever you call them). I'm still working on the parts with the characters on-screen, so I'm seeking feedback on how to make it look better by then.

For anyone familiar with Adobe After Effects, I seek your word!

Here is a website where I sourced some of the transitions/transforms from:

It has professional-like elements, and they're completely free. Do note Adobe Ae requires a pretty powerful computer to implement some of these...

This looks really nice so far! One thing to look out for is the readability of the text. Oftentimes it uses a bright text color with a bright outline on a bright background. I can understand why it is the way it is since it's supposed to be cutes-y but I don't think its cuteness will suffer much from either making the outline black or making the text color darker. The text at 0:17 looks totally fine to me for example, it's usually just the bright blue text that's difficult to read.
