How do I set a keyframe for layer visibility?

I wish to turn off the visibility of a layer at a certain point in the animation.

I have the option "Allow animated layer effects" turned on, but I can't seem to set a keyframe for visibility of the layer.

I did a search for the term layer visibility, but the only things I found related to smartbones.

Thanks in advance.

Are you on a frame higher than 0?

Keyframes don't appear for a channel until you set a keyframe above 0. When you set the key, you will see a keyframe at both 0 and that keyframe.

Just in case ... It's not the eye icon in the layers window that you need - there's a layer visibility box in the layer properties (where you found the 'allow animated effects' checkbox) that needs to be set or cleared to animate visibility.

Got it, thanks.

Not sure what the prob was before, got a keyframe set now.
