Rotate Text Box in Photos on Mac

How do I rotate the text box when editing a photo? I'm trying to use the text box to fill in a sign that my students help. When text box clicked on it will only make it larger or move up, down, right or left. I need it to rotate at an angle at times to match up with the sign.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

iMovie Cropping Off Top of Menu Bar Hi, iMovie is cropping off the top half of the menu bar while I am creating a demo video for my application: Created several QuickTime screen recordings of my application including the menu bar -- the recordings have the entire menu bar (there are several recordings because I am recording this 10 minute video in pieces) Brought those recordings into an iMovie project Used "Fit" for the crop on each recording (I am not using "Crop to Fill") Added voice overs for those recordings in iMovie The top half of the menu bar is cut off in the output video If I bring one of those recordings into an empty project and do a Picture-in-Picture overlay over a black screenshot, then I can see the entire menu bar. But I have found no way to do the Picture-in-Picture trick for all of the clips. After 6 hours of trying, Google-ing fixes, and watching lots of YouTube videos I don't know what else to try. How can I make this video without the menu bar cut off? Thanks

Sorry - that's not possible in photos.

You can rotate the photo first, then add the text, then rotate back (to get vertical text) but that is all.

If you need more control, you may need to drag into pages or keynote, and add the text there.
