I've noticed an increasing trend in recent Trailers/EVE videos that portray heavy usage of UI elements and effects that are not in game yet.
I used to brag to my friends that most if not all of EVE trailers were made with in-game graphics and everything you saw in a video you could see in-game, that seems to no longer be the case....
If you want examples.
Dominion trailer
Tyranis trailer
Apocrypha trailer
I understand that eye candy attracts costumers, but why advertise or use effects/UI elements not available in game?
It's easy to say that they will "Soon(tm)" be implemented, but notice how you are 3+ expansions late if that was the case.
/end rant.

CCP have stopped developing the in flight element of the game and know it looks substandard so they have to rely on fake effects to draw in noobs who don't know better.

You answered your own question.
It's like seeing a commercial for McDonalds then actually ordering and receiving the food! Yeah it looks good on TV, but dog **** looks and tastes better than what they actually serve you.

It's standard industry practice. It annoys me but it's expected. The real answer is that CCP probably has more money/devs to crank these trailers out, and more experience in doing so.
Even the old fleet fight trailers made with ingame graphics were absolutely unrealistic. Real fleet flights are laggy zoomed out blobs of colored boxes, not tightly packed formations of ships from the same race and ship-class.

This essentially. Real EVE PvP isn't that pretty. Wish it was because the dominion trailer ****ing rocked.
TBH I'd like the UI of EVE to inherit elements from the video rather than vice versa.

These guys (aside from art at the beginning) did a trailer with in game effects, and it's gettig great reviews for it. So it can be done if done right.

I know which game ill be playing in 2012 :)
Back on topic. I also wish they implemented the video UI effects in game, but my expectations are low. Just look at how long its taken CCP to post a blog about captain's closet/door, let alone finish it's content...

Everybody creates trailers as best as they can do it. CCP want a story for each trailer, now, and there's simply not enough options for them to just Fraps random gameplay footage and piece is together.
Besides, EVE's trailers use full ingame assets and then a little bit of post-processing on top of that. EVE can look close to the trailers if everything is positioned perfectly and carefully. EVE can look like what you see in trailers, but it never will because the star of the system doesn't always perfectly align behind an explosion, and there are never perfect formations of Rifters.
Post-processing is reserved for trailers, or else the game will be unplayable.
Look at this: http://www.wonderfulphotos.com/articles/macro/focus_stacking/images/flower-droplets.jpg
Sure, it looks nice and artistic, but playing a game with depth of field like that would be impossible.
The UI looks different, because the UI within the trailers is awesome, but completely unusable and not friendly.

I think the trailers need more in-game footage, however it's really hard to find good footage because it just kind of has to happen. Like people have been saying, EVE is beautiful if you're in the right spot, and not much unlike the trailers. But the vast majority of the time when you are playing you're just looking at spreadsheets.  If they do what they promised, that should be fixed sometime in the next few years.
Oh, and the first 2 minutes of the Guild Wars 2 trailer was fantastic. It should have just ended right there, but it was Gamescom so I understand they needed more sparkly to show the crowd.
