 Drag the Opacity slider to the left until the value in the number field reads “50.”
 Type “50” in the Opacity number field, then press Return.
 Position the pointer over the Opacity keyframe graph line in the keyframe graph

In the Current Timecode field of the Viewer, enter “01:00:02:00” to move the playhead.
