Simple video text annotations

Jim McKeeth
I like the enhanced video editing functionality, but really need simple text annotations of some sort. Ideally a colored box with some text, or a speach bubble etc. I can accomplish it now by creating an image externally, and overlaying it, but having that built in would save a lot of time and effort.

There's another thread about visual annotations here:
https://feedback.descript.com/feature-requests/p/ability-to-add-visual-annotations
I would like to see a visual editor like miro.com with a full suite of icons, lines, boxes, arrows, etc. Miro.com makes it easy to annotate and enter text and keep the text searchable.
Hope we can get a nice drawing panel added and make it easy to draw perfect lines with rulers and templates, circles, boxes, and perhaps add emoji's and other creative features to the video and type text.
Here's the quick demo of miro: https://webwhiteboard.com/
They have a lot more on their full product: https://miro.com/
I'd like to see the same type of fluid drawing in Descript with an annotation panel that doesn't require constantly picking a tool with command+k. I.e. to draw a bunch of straight lines, I want to pick the line tool, set it to a straight line, pick a color and go to it. Preferably with context sensitive popup menus instead of the huge fly over panels that are currently used for objects.
