Windows 10: photos - can't add text to a movie

Hi,


I'm trying to create videos in Photos. I've tried repairing and resetting the Photos app; the uninstall feature within settings is grayed out. I still cannot add a title card with words or captions to any photo.


I've run a recent update, so the version is 2020.19111.22010.0.


Thanks for any help you can offer.

:)
