Image pop in and then pop out

I'm trying to have an image pop in a specific point in timeline and then pop out.
How do I do this?

Layer visibility switch on/off.

Specifically, use the Visibility option in the Layer Settings window. (Not to be confused with the Visibility column in the Layers window, which is not keyframeable.) BTW, the Visibility option is one of the Layer Settings that doesn't require Animated Effects to be checked on to be keyframeable.

Bonus tip: Once the Visibility channel appears in the timeline, you can keyframe visibility on and off by clicking directly on a frame in the channel's timeline. No need to reopen the Layers Settings window for this.

Thanks so much. I was able to finally get it done using the layer settings pop up window.
I wasn't able to adjust on the timeline though.
How would I do this on the timeline?

You first need to do it in the layer tab (or the layer quick setttings) once, that moment a timeline channel is created, and you can create further on/of switch keys there.

Here are the steps...

1. In the Layers window, select the layer for which you will be animating visibility.
2. Move the Timeline Playhead to the frame where you want to animate the visibility. (Any non-zero frame will do, actually.)
3. In the Layers window, double-click on the layer. The Layer Settings window will open.
4. Click the Visibility option to uncheck it. This will keyframe the visibility state for the layer. Notice how the Visibility channel for the layer is now available in the Timeline, and it has a keyframe in the current frame.
5. Close the Layer Settings window.
6. To animate the Visibility channel directly in the Timeline, double-click on any frame in the channel. The visibility state for the channel will toggle on or off.

Here's a GIF to illustrate...



Occasionally, I've seen this D-Click-In-The-Timeline method act weirdly. When that happens, I just open the Layer Settings and keyframe it there. Or, quit and relaunch Moho, and it should be fine.

Hope this helps.
