NOTE: I have no idea where to post this thread. So I'll hope StoryGirl can let us know.
In my review and read of Elemental Charmed, I was reading Pheebs wonderful teases for episodes. It made me think of Charmed and Es thought it would make a great thread.
Here is what we said:

CARINA'S TEASER IDEAS:
Normally I believe about two clips are released, but I'll bet more promotion, they'd release a few more in the lead-up to the launch. So maybe openers and finales would have three, while regular episodes have two, as shows normally release these days.
Something Wicca This Way Comes
Teaser Clip One. [Prue learns Phoebe is returning home, and she comes home to a tense reunion with Prue]
Teaser Clip Two
[The Pointer on the Spirit Board Moves]
Teaser Clip Three
[Phoebe finds the book]
I've Got You Under My Skin
Teaser Clip One
[Piper walks into the church and is scared]
Teaser Clip Two
[Phoebe has a premonition of Javna]
Thank You For Not Morphing
Teaser Clip One
[Prue finds a dog with eyes glowing]
Teaser Clip Two
[Phoebe thinks Victor is after the book]

I like these.
They would really draw the viewers in, IMO.

Can't edit it. I tried copying from a different transcript site but it was so badly formatted when you copy over, I had to use another site.
My first teaser is not that long. It must have copied too much.

Just remember that these clips are supposed to be short teasers, not long scenes that give things away. I’m sure you wanted them to be something like this: Those would make GREAT teaser clips making viewers wonder what’s going to happen. Can't edit it. I tried copying from a different transcript site but it was so badly formatted when you copy over, I had to use another site. My first teaser is not that long. It must have copied too much. Yup - if you want to edit posts, I'd suggest you join "Charmed Heritage" - then you can both edit or delete your posts or even quote earlier posts like I did yours. You'd also be able to preview your post and make sure it's what you want before you post it. Great idea for a thread, Carina! I'm glad you saw my suggestion and ran with it - I'm not sure if I would've. Hmmm...I'll have to think which clips I'd use to tease which episodes...

I was going to suggest that very thing, Phoebeville.
But Esmeralda beat me to it

Thank you guys. I'll have to think of a new email to use to register. Since the only one I have is a work one, I don't want to use that one.
I'd love to read what else you guys would use as a teaser.

Anyone get a server error. I've been trying to post. And it's taken me 6 tries to post the above message. I think I'll put off joining until the server issue messages goes away and the ProBoards server fixes the problem.

I had a similar problem earlier, so I left and I'm back now and it appears to be working. So if, you wanted to wait until tomorrow to join, that is a good idea and to get a new email started as you don't like using your work one.

Just set up an e-mail account with either Google or Yahoo! and you're good to go!

WOW! What a cool thread, thanks for setting this up Carina.
I decided to do my own research into how shows do them. Since I did my Deadline Articles for Elemental Charmed with the teasers to adapt them to fit our series.
I discovered on Youtube, most sneak peeks anything between 40 seconds to 2 minutes (although maybe The CW does up to 2 minutes, most of the Network ones were about nearly a minute to 1 minute 20 seconds). No right or wrong way of how long a sneak peek or tease is (according to how most Networks do them).
But personally, they are truly a tease, and not suppose to give away too much, nor is it the entire scene.
I personally think short and sweet is better to tease. You always don't want to do any that gives away the plot of the episode. I wouldn't recommend teasing anything that takes place in Act Four of an episode, that would be a big no no.
I'd suggest a tease/sneak peek would be something from the teaser, Act One or Act Two. But, Act Three or Four would not appear as a tease, as the plot would be too revealed by then.
A few examples:

Pheeb's Teaser/Sneak Peeks:
Note: I put the S1 DVD into my disc drive on my Laptop, and went straight to the scenes I wanted, just for fun, I found that first clip I wanted was about 30 seconds, and the second was about 56 seconds long. I don't recommend anybody do this to do their scenes. I was just curious.
I just was surprised, that sneak peeks for shows often were pretty long in length (2 minutes is just too long personally, I'd rather something that isn't anything more than 1 minute tops). I like them rather short, I don't think they should just be an entire scene, that will just give too much away.

Oh, I totally understand not wanting to use your work one - we're not allowed to do anything like that - we could even get fired for doing it! I hope ProBoards decides to behave for you (no guarantees!) so you can register soon.

Too bad these teaser clips don't really exist.
Try registering now, Phoebeville. Whatever issues Proboards had seems to have been fixed.

I'm officially a member now. I was nervous starting an email only was frustrating the verification code took longer than expect to send. But I'm in. Sadly I can't edit my old messages. It still shows up as guest. I'll have to re-do them. But at least as a member, that option is available always.

Like you, I think short and sweet that don't spoil is best, and your suggestion of not using anything from Act Four or even Act Three is right on!

Draw the viewer in, but don't give too much away.
