TRAILERS/TEASERS - If you wish to make a teaser/trailer for your film, you may BUT... It may NOT contain any live-action footage of any kind WHATSOEVER. Whether from your film or not. Absolutely NO live action footage. So, think of it more as a teaser than a trailer.
You may want to get rid of that trailer before you get disqualified.
As per the rules...
Live action is anything that has footage in it, even if the footage is not from the film.
No. Just people alive and breathing.Wait! What?
I understood live-action to be like running or throwing fireballs and stuff!
Even frames rendered from an animation would be live action. I think they want you to stick to motion graphics type promos.
Awe.. as part of my marketing campaign I was gonna film random people trying to pronounce 'Villosonous Sorcerous Rex'.

I might be mistaken, but as long as that's not from your short, I think that's ok. Like an interview on the street or whatever. You just can't have any live action FROM the short. You might want to wait until someone else gives an opinion on this one, though.
PUBLIC EXHIBITION - You may NOT publicly exhibit any MOVING IMAGES from your film entry, or footage shot for your film entry (this includes outtakes, alternate takes, etc) in part, or in whole prior to the conclusion of the festival, or your participation in the competition portion of the festival. At such time you publicly exhibit any footage from your film, this will be seen as a forfeiture of any rights to prizes, awards, or acknowledgments. You will cease to be in competition at this point, and will be deemed "exhibition only," at a minimum, or may be removed from the festival entirely at our discretion.
SECOND EXCEPTION: You MAY post screen grabs from your footage. You MAY also post stills or additional video (beyond what’s required) of BEHIND THE SCENES footage and interviews of your cast and crew in the form of a documentary, podcast, etc. However, NO fictional elements that encompass or extend the narrative of your film are permitted – this includes a restriction on behind the scenes footage of actual takes.
