What do you like best about Hour One?

I honestly just searched on the internet for a site that could do this and HourOne was one of the first ones I saw. But from the beginning it was easy to use and really quick to utilize. Gave us a bunch of options to put together a work video. Easy to use and up and running quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hour One?

The only problem I had was trying to find a voice that fit the story. I wanted her to sound a little more animated. I think it would help if we could write like we talk about certain subjects. The other thing was the load time, which was very slow but it was still worth waiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hour One solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helping us to educate unknown aspects of our business to service coordinators Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zohar Reshef Gur of Hour One

Thank you for choosing Hour One to create your work video! We're happy to hear that it was easy to use and helped you educate others about your business. We understand your feedback about finding the right voice and the load time, sometimes it takes a few tries to find the best fit between avatar and voice. As for rendering time, you can talk to us on ways to boost it with our paid plans. We appreciate your input!

What do you like best about Hour One?

At first we thought we found a great tool for our Product Marketing use case but as we got to use it more we discovered it is actually really glitchy and unreliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hour One?

1. Wait time for video rendering is way too long, over 20 minutes sometimes for 1.5 minutes long videos.

2. There are no clear instructions on what the image sizes for each video template should be so you end up having to guess each time.

3. There are no clear instructions on how their brand palette works when you want to personalise videos' branding.

3. No possibility to add subtitles in the editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hour One solving and how is that benefiting you?

We wanted to use it for product feature releases and video explainers however it's not working as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zohar Reshef Gur of Hour One

Hello, we are sorry to hear that you had a bad experience using our platform.

For the video rendering, 1 min of video typically takes 5-7 minutes to render depending on the amount of content within the scenes. If you contact our support team, we can help investigate the cause of your issue.

We provide media settings for both images and videos so you can fit the uploaded media accordingly per your desired layout ( Read: https://help.hourone.ai/hc/en-us/articles/13941679659665-Media-Settings)

We also support closed captioning and subtitles, you can learn more here (Read: https://help.hourone.ai/hc/en-us/articles/10632128617873-FAQs-Audio#h_01HER8WC1FSWBSVB89HJ076ESF).

Hope to see you again, now that you know these are solvable :)

What do you like best about Hour One?

A wide library of avatars and models with different outfits and looks - I think that makes it so that you will find one that fits your project. You can also create one easily, and I think thats when the software actually becomes useful.

It's very easy to create projects and edit them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hour One?

Well - we're still at that point that AI-generated avatars are a little bit in the uncanny valley, meaning they don't feel human or personal. I think that makes them useful for perhaps internal knowledge bases and trainings, but I would not use it for external communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hour One solving and how is that benefiting you?

Making personalized video demos for potential customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zohar Reshef Gur of Hour One

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We're happy to hear that you find our library of avatars and models beneficial for your projects. We understand your concerns about the human-like qualities of AI-generated avatars and are committed to improving their realism. We support all sort of AI avatars, perhaps our web avatar or a custom avatar (where you can have 'bigger' gestures is a better fit for your need. Try them out! Plus, we are working on some new avatars to be launched very soon. We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to assist you with your personalized video demos.

What do you like best about Hour One?

Goodbye slideshows, hello AI video avatars. Super easy to use, integrate, and implement into our workflows. Love the fact that the avatars, templates, and voices are highly customizable. Hour One helps us streamline workflows a ton. We use the tool a lot for our presentations. Customer support is always available too, and top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hour One?

Nothing really. Super excited about the product roadmap! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hour One?

Hour One makes it very easy to put together a quick intro demo of a product or service. It also facilitates translation of that demo into other languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hour One?

The templates are rigid. For example, one template that I used causes the scene to emerge from the the bottom of the screen. This is fine until subsequent scenes also do the same. Why can I not configure it to not emerge from the bottom on subsequent scenes? The issue is that templates could use more configurable parameters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hour One solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hour One helps me create something approaching a higher production quality more easily and more quickly than I would be able to do without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zohar Reshef Gur of Hour One

Thank you for sharing your experience with Hour One. We're pleased to hear that it's helping you create higher production-quality demos more easily and quickly. We understand your concerns about the rigidity of the templates and the lack of configurable parameters. If you click 'Layout' , under the 'Scene' tab in your editor - you can change the way the scene looks and moves. You have many options for movements and look & feel to pick from. When hovering over the different options, you can see how they move.

Hope this helps.

Enjoy the process and create great videos!

Easy to use and easy to download my own slides, but it was nice to have options to create slides with the AI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick and easy webinar videos for employee training. Saves me so much time and energy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zohar Reshef Gur of Hour One

We're glad to hear that you found Hour One easy to use and that it saved you time and energy with creating webinar videos for employee training. We have many voice options, and it is recommended to 'play' with them a bit and check which voice suites the best with the avatar you have picked (sometimes some voices are not a good match with a specific avatar, and a different voice will have better results)

What do you like best about Hour One?

The UI and ease of using the platform are fantastic. There are some self-help guided tutorials but it's very plug-and-play. 10/10 would recommend it if you're looking for an easy way to create some engaging professional-looking content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hour One?

Occasionally the video/audio doesn't look as realistic as I would like but it's not blatantly obvious unless you are specifically looking for it. I would say the only other thing is that it was hard to invite a user. When you click on the invite link it takes you to a login page as if you should be set up but you still need to switch tabs and then create an account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hour One solving and how is that benefiting you?

I run a training department that relies heavily on virtual learning. Though it may seem small having a presentation with a speaker that learners can interact with vs. just reading the words off the page is a big help in making content more digestible and memorable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zohar Reshef Gur of Hour One

We're glad to hear that you find our platform's UI and ease of use fantastic! We appreciate your recommendation and are thrilled to know that Hour One is helping you create engaging professional-looking content.
