Weird that you can do this for one project but not others. But I have had stranger things.

Try this method instead

I am uploading the results to http://youtu.be/IIV87bFjfo0 - Due to complete upload in 36 mins

I use the affine transition and keyframes with different opacity to make the titles fade in.

I have a 5th video track which is empty and each of the transitions are "with track 5".

And that is it.

PS did you find the RGB adjustment effect?

Finally I figured it out....partly thanks to your help.

I've spent over 35 hours working on this and suddenly I figured it out last night!

Composite transitions were added to all text titles.
Keyframes were then added to each title.
Keyframe opacity was changed from 0 to 100% depending upon the location of the time line sequence.

The major background that I use was placed on video track 5.

Here's an example of the results;
