The original four color trailers were kind of a mixed bag, honestly.

Red Trailer - The version we got was an edited version. The original was a proof of concept that Monty made to show to Matt Hullum and, if I remember correctly, Burnie Burns (but mostly Matt, I believe?). Once he received the OK to make RWBY, he got Red Like Roses from Jeff and then made edits and additions to the Red Trailer to fit the song. I wish I could find the source for this, especially since I'm just working off memory here, but yeah. The Red Trailer really is just a preview of RWBY's style of action, and they did say that it was more so to show off Ruby's weapon, especially since they had not yet planned Ruby's personality.

White Trailer - This trailer shows a pretty significant event in Weiss' past, which is sadly only explained in chapters 3 and 4 of the official manga. Basically, it shows when she got her Arma Gigas summon, as well as how she got her scar. ( throughout the first half of the fight) Though it does also give us a preview of Dust, it's not a very solid preview, since it was not yet set in stone what exactly Dust would do. For example, red Dust. In the White Trailer, she uses it to deflect the Arma Gigas' attack. In the show, red Dust produces fire.

Black Trailer - Don't need to explain much here, since we all know it shows the day Blake left the White Fang.

Yellow Trailer - Hints to Yang's search for Raven. It also shows Roman paying to borrow some of Junior's henchmen.

Honestly, the show makes more sense if you've seen the White, Black, and Yellow Trailers, since the show has actually referenced and called back to those trailers so many times.
