Trailer only Feed:

Most movies in our database are accompanied by extra clips and other trailers. There are feed parameters that provide you with the editorial freedom to select the different types of video content that are included in a Preview Networks content feed. It's therefore possible to set up your website so that one section is dedicated to trailers and the other to all the extra clips (interviews with actors, backstage, red carpet, etc).

Step 1: take the basic feed;

Step 2: add this additional parameter at the end of the feed to have just trailers &clip_type=1-6

 

Example: http://uk.feed.previewnetworks.com/v3.1/cinema/newest-20/101-1/&clip_type=1-6
