Animate TextMesh color

I tried to animate the color.alpha property of a TextMesh component to get a fade out effect.
But I cannot add the TextMesh’s color property in the Animation view.
Is it unsupported?
Right now I have to achieve this effect using my own scripting.

Does anyone know how to solve this, cause I also have this issue? I want to animate the opacity with the Animation View, but I can’t select the color of the TextMesh. Any help is very much appreciated.
