Hour One turns text scripts into videos with lifelike AI virtual presenters. Free plan available; paid plans start at $30/month.
Hour One is an AI video creation platform that generates professional-looking videos narrated by realistic virtual human presenters instead of requiring an on-camera actor, camera crew, or studio. Users type or paste a script, choose a virtual presenter and language, and Hour One renders a finished video.
The company was founded in 2019 and operates out of Tel Aviv and New York. In May 2025, Hour One was acquired by Wix, which stated the acquisition was intended to expand Wix's generative AI video capabilities; the Hour One product continues to be offered under its own brand.
Hour One's core feature is text-to-video generation using a library of virtual human presenters that speak with natural expressions and lip-sync in multiple languages. Users can customize scenes, backgrounds, and branding around the presenter.
The platform is used for training and e-learning videos, marketing and explainer content, and localized media, with clients including Berlitz, NBC Universal, and DreamWorks reported as users of the technology.
Hour One offers a free plan that includes a limited amount of video generation per month (around 3 minutes), letting users try the platform before subscribing.
Paid plans scale by monthly video minutes and available features, with an entry paid tier around $30/month for roughly 10 minutes of video per month, and higher-volume business tiers priced higher and available on request for teams needing more output.
