Move the playhead to 01:00:04:00, then add another opacity keyframe.
Because you can’t move this keyframe without causing a ramp in that segment of the
keyframe graph line, you need to add another keyframe.
10
Move the playhead to 01:00:05:00, then add another keyframe.
11
Adjust the opacity setting of this last keyframe to 100 percent.
The shape of the Opacity parameter’s keyframe graph line leaves the opacity of the top
layer at 50 percent for 1 second, and then the topmost layer fades up to 100 percent,
completely obscuring the clip on track V1.
12
To complete this sequence, fade the topmost layer out again by adding one last
keyframe. Move the playhead to 01:00:06:00, add another keyframe, then change its
opacity value to 0.

Tip: You can also do the above steps using the opacity overlay in the Timeline. See the
next example for more information.
