    You can do this with Macromedia Flash, but you need some expertise for it.

    Maybe you should hire someone to do the job....

    If you're looking for a good quality trailer! I'd advice hiring an expert!

    Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 is a Code Editor/Webpage Designer. So I don't think you'd be able to make a trailer with that!

    If you have good quality high resolution images, you can use a combination of Adobe Photoshop and Windows Movie Maker to make a nice trailer.

    I agree with Abhishek... If you're asking questions about what software you might use to produce it - you're probably going to need a professional if you want it to look good. If you have any drawing skills, I would suggest drawing out a storyboard and framing each scene of the trailer. At that point, you can scan that trailer and send it to a few prospective CG professionals for bids.

    Cheers,

    I dont think you even need to hire CG professionals,a experienced flash developer with basic 3d software skills like Swift 3d,etc would be enough.
