Hello! I've tried to make a simple 30sec story for my social media for over 30 minutes now. I cannot figure out how to add simple plain text to my video. Is there a feature so you can add your own text as a new layer and decide when it starts/ends without using pre-made graphics/titles? The graphics are hard to use and very difficult to edit. Some of them have a background color that I can't find how to delete. Not all of them are easy to place properly, if the text is long. You can't drag the frame to shape the text. A regular "T" button like in Premiere pro would be such a huge improvement in my opinion. Thank you!
