Change your code to look like this: CABasicAnimation * alphaAnimation = ... ... [[theView layer] setOpacity:0.0]; // Set your opacity here [[theView layer] addAnimation:alphaAnimation forKey:@"opacity"]; // Note the key } By setting the key to @"opacity" instead of @"opacityAnimation" your animation will used instead of the default animation when you call [CALayer setOpacity:]. There is a good WWDC talk about animation on the ipad that addresses this. I don't remember the exact talk, though.
