Well you just gave me a workaround I had not thought of at least, so thanks!
Previously I had my blue background bar on the first line in my title designer and then my text on the second line. Now I just use another of the video and sound players for the blue bar and that works just fine. It's clunky but at least it doesn't fade in and out like it did in the title designer!
I hope that makes sense, I do not know the right words for what these areas within the program are called...
