I would love a review of my channel trailer :)

It may be a little bit outdated but I have placed annotations at the beginning about the new changes.
Is this a good alternative, or should I just create an updated Channel Trailer?

I've got to be honest (because, y'know, it's a review and I said I would be), I think it's pretty much spot on! Great use of clips and music. The graphics and transitions are not only colourful and interesting, they look professional and well made. You've got clips in there, showing exactly what your channel is about, with links provided.

I'd say that it doesn't really...convey a mood? It's wonderful and bright and intriguing and it gets me excited for the content...but it doesn't give me an idea of what 'mood' your videos are. Serious, comedic, etc... I don't think that's a major problem, since I'd say the entire trailer's professional quality and aesthetic allows it to stand on those proportions alone.

Another tiny little thing. Music is great and the text says excellent what it needs too, but sometimes it's nice to hear a voice over. For me, I could take it over leave it. Some people are too lazy to read basic text, but I'm not one of those individuals.

Overall, I'd say it's brilliant!

Thank you for your time! :)
Well about my channel's "mood"...
I do want to have a very bright, and bouncy feel to my videos, but sometimes, I also want those unexpectedly dark, mysterious and eerie videos (example: My Outro on my newest video). I'm experimenting if this method would intrigue my viewers and would be interested in my channel, thus making them stick around. Another thing that adds to the "mystery" on my channel is that I don't do commentary, which may make you intrigued even more. Do you think this is an interesting idea? :D

I think you channel trailer fits that quite well. Having a changing mood does create a bit of alienation with fans who strive for something familiar. Markiplier, Smosh, Pewdiepie all have this very generic, very familiar style that their fan base looks up to. So if Pewdiepie did a video where he reviewed a book in a very sombre tone, people would be confused and upset.

On the plus side, keeping the mood of your videos dynamic and forever changing means that your content can appeal to a much larger audience without promising too much or grinding on people you don't connect with. Keeps the viewers on their toes, which is nice!
