Make asset appear and disappear

[Hellyar]

Hello,
Probably a dumb question!
I want an asset to appear part-way into the animation and then disappear later on.
Switching on and off the "eyes" doesn't leave a keyframe, so I'm not sure how to do it.
Please would someone kindly advise?
Thanks.

P.S. I have found "Fade" in Scripts which kind-of does it. But is there a non-script way, please?

assuming your object is in a one (group type or vector) layer:

make sure you have "allow animated layer effects" checked and then use the "visible" checkbox (on/off) or "opacity" (0% to 100%) to control whether the item is visible or not

You can also use a switch layer and switch to an empty layer to make it "disappear."

Thank you very much indeed!
