Can't get a clip + still clip to cross dissolve
I have a clip followed by a Graphic like this:

WIth some trouble I could get the lower one to cross dissolve, but the upper one I can't get to cross dissolve. The clip on the left is scaled and positioned, the one on the left is a graphic and only contains a text object.
I am inexperienced (do this once every two years or so). What should I look at?
