Stencil Apha not working in a simple FCPX Title

Hi!

I am trying to use the blend mode "Stencil Apha" to make a video layer as a background of a simple text, but it seems any blend mode is not working on my FCPX. I already tried everything and watched tons of videos, but with no success so far, even when following tutorials over a simple new project.

Below you can find a screenshot, where you can see a simple text layer "TITLE" over a video layer in the background. In the video layer I selected the blend mode "Stencil Apha", but I still cannot see the video as the background of my text and only the word "TITLE" in white is shown.
