I consider the Black and Yellow trailers to be the most clear cut of the 4. The events of Blake's trailer for example are clearly mentioned by Weiss during her explanation of why she hates the White Fang. There is also nothing in Yang's trailer that couldn't be important later down the line. The only issue I have is that in her trailer, her hair seems to glow during the course of the fight. However when she fights the two Ursa and later when she fights the Nevermore, her hair doesn't even show the slightest bit of glowing (as far as I remember).

After that I would consider the Red trailer the third most canon. Yes Ruby is slightly out of character, but it has been established that the trailer was mostly for Crescent Rose. However the events in the trailer are somewhat referenced by Ruby during the series; after Weiss and Ruby mess each other up when attacked by Beowolves and are forced to retreat, Ruby comments that it should have been easy (as she defeated an entire pack in the trailer).

I would consider the White trailer the least canon out of the 4. There are a lot of elements that suggest the trailer is happening in White's head or it happened differently from how we see it. I don't even call the character Weiss, always referring to her as White. Anyway, Weiss in the show has shown no signs of being musically gifted, which would seem odd if she was a singer. Not to mention that aside from Blake, no one seems to know who Weiss is, which is odd if she was a professional singer. Not to mention her abilities. Besides her ice-attack, almost nothing seems to work the same way; her usual platforms seem to almost teleport her while in the series they just accelerate her in a direction. Dust in the series is for the most part elemental based, but in the trailer it can apparently create seals that can hold others in place, somehow reflect attacks, and I'm not even sure what attack she used to disarm the armor.
