Q: Scrolling text from Motion adds one frame on screen when group starts

I made scrolling credits in motion using the scroll text behavior. I have two groups in motion that have a scroll text attached to them. When watch the clip in motion, everything looks fine, and when I export from motion as a movie file, everything looks good as well.

 

However, when I use it in FCPX, the last group that is shown will have one frame appear on screen. The scroll text is set to start offscreen. When the group starts, the first frame the group is active, the text will show up aligned to the top of the frame. The next frame it is properly hidden and starts appearing from the bottom of the screen as it should be. I cannot figure out why the first frame is showing up.

 

I have attached the frame this happens, and the previous frame as well.
