Helpful articles for Final Cut Pro for Mac, Final Cut Pro for iPad and Final Cut Camera:
I get very annoying errors while trying to put a simple text over a stabilized image and both should fade in or out. FCP suddenly puts the opacity of either the text or the clip to zero and cuts out the clips randomly. Seems it can't handle two transitions at the same time and renders nonsense in terms of opacity. Any workaround on this bug? iMac 2019 i9 on Ventura 13.1. / FCP-X 10.6.5.
iMac 27″, macOS 13.1
Which title is this? It does not seem to be a Basic Title - I see "Eigene" in there.
It looks as this title includes some build-in and build-out animations, and that is why you are seeing appear and disappear.

Your Eigene is NOT the same as a Basic Title, and that probably is related to the problem.
Basic Title does not have any published parameters, but yours does... a lot:
Anyway, even by replacing yours with a Basic Title, the problem with the Dissolve is not completely solved.
HOWEVER, if you just remove the Cross Dissolve, and INSTEAD you adjust the Opacity handles, it works fine.
Notice how the title is faded but the background clip is in full opacity:
Not using any opacity controls, just regular dissolves. Sorry cannot post an XML right now. Try it out. Just use a stabilized video clip, put a text above it and fade them out slightly overlapping, like video first or text first, but dissolves happening at the same time. Then fiddle around with the length of the clips (trimming back and forwards), I was trying to get the transition in time to a certain music. After altering the length of the clips I got these opacity errors. Like text cuts out opacity like done with a cut and then cuts in again, while there where no cuts in the text or video clips and they just should be 100% visible.
It's´called "Eigene" which I guess relates to "Basic" in the ofter weird translated German version. There is no animation built in and certainly there is no animation built in for the video layer below, that cuts out while the end transition of the title lasts.
I can't see anything that would cause the behavior you're seeing, the title cutting out in the middle and the background cutting out later.
Delete the render files and switch off background rendering. Does it play correctly unrendered?
Ok, I deleted the render files and with un-rendered clips the failures remains exactly the same. FCP then started automatically to render again and I again I got the same output. Then I exported an XML and re-imported it. After that the title at least didn't cut out, but while the fade at the end the video layer below still cuts out. In case I remove the dissolve, the video layer stays visible and as soon as I add a dissolve again it behaved the same as before. No video while the transition lasts. Weird error.
Switch off background rendering in FCP preferences and leave it off.
There’s no way I can reproduce this based on your video. It may a German language issue, which I’ve not tested. It would be really useful to see the XML. The background to the text is a normal video, QT or MPEG file, nothing unusual about it?
Did you render that section? Does the issue persist if it's rendered?
You could try making the title and the clip into a compound, and apply the fade to the compound. Does that help?
It appeares after rendering and seems to be a render error. No matter what you do, e.g. apply any changes to force it to render again, it will again render with opacity faults.
What transition are you using, or are you using opacity controls? Can you post an XML of the project?
I can't see any instance of the the fades cutting no matter how I shorten or lengthen the clips or the transitions.
No, nothing unusual. mp4 H264 with AAC audio, 4096x2160px squeezed in a 1920x1080 project. here's the XML, don't know if that helps.

It's the Custom title.
