How to use a transition with track matte key

I added some texture to a title using the track matte key effect. I have two layers, a .jpg with texture on video track 1 and a title on video track 2. It works great until I add a cross dissolve. I can see the whole .jpg of layer 1 and the un-textured text of layer 2 until it is fully dissolved. Is there a way to have it cross dissolve to the fully textured title?

Correct answer the outward spiral

I know this is an old post, but for those who arrive here for the answer to dissolving two matte clips without the matte dissapearing during the transition, you don't actually need to nest the matte clips and fill clips together as stated in the "correct answer", you only need to nest the matte clips (with dissolves) and use the nest as your new matte layer.

Nest the two layer together then add the transition will solve the issue.
