Sequencer: fade object

I hope I don’t get in trouble for reviving this but, I wanted to add that you have to make the material “Translucent” in order for it to work. It’ll act like an on/off switch otherwise. I’m not well versed in material knowledge but I figured if I would tackle this alone once, many others would too and I couldn’t get this to work until I did that. Thank you all the same!!
