So, the fade-in animation works, but it just doesn't "stick" at the end. You can google the 'NSViewAnimationFadeInEffect' effects key if you want to read more about it.

It's hard to know that NSViewAnimation even exists, starting from any obvious place, such as the NSView documentation. The OP and the people who responded can't really be blamed for not realizing there are two intermediate APIs -- NSViewAnimation and NSAnimation -- between the obvious extremes that *are* well-pointed-to in the documentation -- [NSView animator] and layers.
