The Red Trailer is a bit iffy; thanks to it appearing in the Opening, the Cliffside Altar is established as canon but I'm not sure about the rest. Monty has said that Ruby is OOC in it.

The White Trailer is very difficult to assess. The way the others react to Weiss, she doesn't seem like a pop idol. The Armour Giant is also very different from the other enemies faced both in the trailers and in the show so far. I agree on Black definitely. Yellow is only slightly questionable due to the inclusion of the Transient Princess, the girl for whom Yang was looking, but that can be rationalized by actually introducing a character modeled after her. With the Giant Armor in White, I have already noted elsewhere my opinion that it was some sort of training device (the comment Weiss made in Episode 6 suggests she has never been in real combat, supporting this view) and that would explain the lack of similar enemies in the series so far. Since, it gave Weiss her distinctive scar I think it is canon. Red can be rationalized rather easily as Ruby simply being in an uncharacteristic mood that day. She did just visit a grave site out in the middle of the snowy woods.
