Monty said at RTX that he created the Red Trailer long before he had any concrete establishment of Ruby's character, and at the time, didn't even have a voice actress for her. So, yes, the Red Trailer is definitely OOC from the Ruby we've seen so far, but we've still got a lot to learn about her background before we can actually jump to conclusions.

As far as the White Trailer goes, I'm thinking that both scenes were a part of Weiss's imagination. She could've been singing to herself in her bedroom, or wherever, for all we know, only imagining herself in front of an audience because Weiss is the type of person who seeks attention and approval. The Giant Armor could still be a metaphor/exaggeration of the actual event that caused her scar, and both instances could very well be just different coping mechanisms she uses in order to distract herself from the things that are going on around her.

- I also strongly believe that Weiss is at Beacon on her own terms (convincing her father to let her attend) because she really does want to become a Huntress. Maybe singing was never actually a "thing" for her, just something to merely distract her. I've gotten the sense that she was just hanging out by herself one day, and when people are lonely, they tend to let their minds wander in order to bring them comfort.... in my opinion, both instances in the White trailer were made up.

And for the Black and Yellow Trailers, Black is definitely canon. It was confirmed by both Weiss (when she mentioned a whole train car of dust stolen) and Blake (I think she brought it up to Sun when she was talking about the shift in order of the White Fang). The Yellow Trailer seems to be canon, as Ruby is more in character towards the end, and at the beginning of the trailer, we can see a man walking away from Junior who looks a lot like Roman. The "Transient Princess" could be Cinder, for all we know, but because we still know so little about Yang, we can't really jump to any conclusions on whether the club fight was significant or not. I'm assuming, though, Monty knew what he was doing, and that all will be explained in future episodes.
