Build avatar videos from business scripts and documents

What is Hourone?

Hour One is an avatar video platform for business communication. A team can start with a script, document, or presentation, select a presenter and voice, and assemble scenes in a branded template. Its official materials describe uses in training, product marketing, sales, and customer education. The editing workflow keeps script and visual choices accessible, so a subject specialist can revise information before a finished video is shared.

Bring existing material into a video draft

The help center documents PowerPoint, Word, PDF, and pasted script imports. Imported drafts can be edited through their transcript, avatar, voice, and media. Presentation animations do not carry over. Separate controls cover pronunciation, pauses, scene media, templates, and previewing; the platform also documents custom avatars, voice cloning, and workspace organization.

Adapt the script for listening

Choose one learning objective or product question for the first video. Rewrite dense slide text into short spoken sentences, then check that each visual actually supports the narration. Preview names, acronyms, dates, and numbers aloud. Ask someone unfamiliar with the material to describe the intended next step after watching, and revise any scene where the meaning depends on information that is missing from the screen.

Who is Hourone for?

Useful for learning teams, product marketers, and customer educators turning maintained written material into presenter videos. It is particularly relevant when the content needs repeated updates and the team can review both the script and its visual presentation.

Before you get started

Confirm current availability and plan limits before building a production workflow. Obtain permission for custom likenesses and voices, and check pronunciation, imported layout, and factual accuracy before sharing a finished video.
