The problem I've noticed many times is that if the trailer is a local video, the video seems to start playing before the animation is complete. I've seen this result is either the animation being very choppy or, in the worst case scenario, the animation completely stops having slid only half way off the screen and just hangs there blocking a good portion of the video playing behind it.
The few times I've I played a trailer that was a youtube link, the animation always slides out of the way smoothly and completely. I suspect that it may be because it takes a second or two for the video to actually start streaming (as opposed to a local file) which gives enough time for the animation to complete. But that's just a theory.
I cannot replicate this either. When I play a local trailer the info screen has no closing animation and the trailer just plays on top immediately. What version of Kodi, skin version, platform...??
I experience this issue on both my Chromeboxes running Openelec (Kodi 15.1) and my Windows 10 desktop (also Kodi 15.1). I am running Aeon Nox 5: Silvo 5.7.4-2.0.7 on all of them. I also had the same issue running 5.7.1-2.0.4 if it matters. Some times when I play a trailer it works as you describe, but others you see the animation smoothly and other times it jerks and stops. I've seen it stuck half way open through the entire trailer before. Here is a crappy cell phone video I took of it happening. This is playing a trailer from my NAS, not a Youtube stream:
