Description
Platform
Windows 10 IoT LTSC
Browser
Chrome 148
Current Behavior
When adding a text layer via the web interface, changing the text value in the properties/inspector panel updates the text inside the input field, but the actual text on the timeline/canvas remains frozen as "Default Text". The visual content does not sync or re-render.
Expected Behavior
The text on the canvas/timeline should immediately update in real-time to match the new string entered in the properties/inspector input field.
Recurrence Probability
Always
Steps To Reproduce
- Open the OpenCut web application.
- Add a new Text element to the timeline.
- Select the text element and go to the properties/inspector panel on the side.
- Change the text from "Default Text" to any other string (e.g., "Hello World").
- Look at the canvas preview; notice it still displays "Default Text".

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the OpenCut web application by adding a Text element and editing its value in the properties/inspector panel. Trace how the input change reaches the canvas and timeline rendering; done means the displayed text updates immediately instead of remaining "Default Text".
