Hi!

I want to make an opacity animation from 100% to 0% so an object can hide the space.

How I can memorize opacity keyframe? or there is an other solution?

Thanks!!

To animate opacity, double click on the layer in the layer palette to call up the layer settings. Check the allow animated layer effect option box. Go to the frame you want and call up the layer settings again; change the opacity setting to what you want. Hope this helps. :)

The above is correct. Just remember to always have the "Allow animated effects" box checked at all times.

Hi!
I check "allow animated effect layer"
then I move to frame 100 and I set the opacity to 0

the problem is that the I cant make a gradual ( 100 , 60 , 30 , 0 )
opacity transition.

I think That I made something wrong... :oops:

Of course you can only see the effect in rendered files.

To animate opacity, you first go to a frame and set it to 0%. Then go to a frame before that and set it to 100%. Shift the keys in the timeline for your preferred timing.

(Why is it that way? Because opacity is 100% per default, and you can't create a 100% keyframe then - only something different from 100.)

I remember the good old days of 5.6 where you had a dialog box on the time line. No games, just open the visibility channel and add the keys.
