Changing the opacity of an object with a sequence

In order to change the opacity of an object by using a sequence you will need to carry out the following steps:

1. Create an animation sequence with 2 property tracks
2. Set the target of both property tracks to be the material you wish to change
3. In the first property track set the Property to change to be the Opacity
4. In the second property track set the Property to change to be the BlendMode. This will give you a track similar to what you see below

       6. Then you can edit the opacity while recording key frames to make the animated sequence you want
