I'd like to point out that Monty himself did not like calling the first four videos for RWBY as "trailers", and mentions that they are more like vignettes, designed to show off the character and weapon designs like the shorts for Team Fortress 2. Unfortunately it seems that his message regarding that did not reach the majority of fans. However since "RWBY Red Vignette" wouldn't really market a series as well as just calling it the traditional trailer (The world sometimes has a hard time keeping up with the internet and needs to use these old terms they know). At no point did they ever imply or state that the trailers or the scenes within them would be INSIDE of an episode or relate to an episode. I also have a feeling that an audience would be disappointed if an episode consisted of mostly a flashback where they replayed the trailer. Despite all of this, the events of the Black Trailer were referenced by Weiss, and it appears that the events of the Yellow trailer will play into a scene in Volume 2. The events of the Red Trailer are not important enough to bring up in a future episode (Ruby chops up some Grimm, it looks awesome, but means nothing plot/storywise), and the context of the White Trailer, and why Weiss was on a stage reminiscing about a fight with a giant is unknown, so it may not turn up, and if it does, it might not be in a manner you're expecting. The trailers set the expectation for cool fights and awesome music, and RWBY has surpassed that.
