- Place the cursor over the 'visibility property'
- Press I to insert a keyframe
- Go to the next frame, disable the visibility and press I again
- Go to the next frame, enable the visibility and insert a keyframe

Another way to do it is to animate the influence. If you want a sudden effect, then poor's way gives the desired result. However, if you would like to have a smoother effect, you could animate the influence factor.
Insert an keyframe for the influence set to 1 on frame one.
Scroll to another frame, and and insert another keyframe set to 1
Go the next frame and set the influence to 0, and insert a keyframe
And then, go once again to the following frame, and set the influence to 1, and insert a keyframe.
