Dissolving to the Winter Dusk

You’ve now cross-dissolved between the summer and winter scenes, and you’ve moved the skies in both seasons. For a third part of this animation, you’ll dissolve to the winter dusk version of the scene and have the street lamps and house lights come on.

Select the WinterVillage layer in the Timeline, move to frame 300, and set an Opacity keyframe at 100%. Move to Frame 400, and set Opacity to 0%. Run a RAM preview of the animation to see a cross-dissolve between the three versions.
