Learn Dutch: Binnen een uur vinden we de uitweg. - Within an hour, we will find the way out.

Binnen means the action will happen before that amount of time has passed, acting as a deadline limit (within an hour). If you used over een uur, it would mean the finding happens exactly at the end of that hour (in an hour's time). In een uur would focus on the duration it takes to complete the action, which sounds a bit strange with a sudden, instantaneous action like finding.

Why does the verb vinden come before the subject we?

This is due to the verb-second (V2) rule in Dutch. Because the sentence starts with the time phrase Binnen een uur, the conjugated verb vinden must take the second position, pushing the subject we to the third position right after it.

The English translation says 'will find', but the Dutch sentence uses the present tense vinden. Is this standard?

Yes, this is very common in Dutch. The present tense is frequently used to talk about the future, especially when a specific time indicator like Binnen een uur is already in the sentence to provide the future context. You do not need to add the future auxiliary verb zullen.
