Step By Step 7: Strobe Effect

 So to create this effect you first need to import your footage over and drag it into the timeline. Once you have successfully done that you then need to go to your search bar on the effects and presets panel & select the "Strobe" effect.

Once you select the strobe effect this is what you will be seeing, a blank white screen. From here you have several options you can experiment with i tried changing the colour of the strobe as well as changing the speed of the strobes flash and the duration it would last.

 So on the left you can see the options that come with it. One thing that i found very interesting was if you get two clips and put one on top of the other you can create a manually made transition. So this is what i tried to create. I started with changing the strobe color to black.
After that i selected make the layer transparent, this would allow clip 1 to overlap clip 2 as the strobe continues to function. And that is how you can create your own transition using a strobe. But to get the strobe to act out exactly how you want it to go, you will then need to move onto key frames.

So here is where you will create your key frames, i set mine from 100% to 0% after one frame then left a gap until the next clip starts to come in, which i then set the ending of the key frame to 0% to 100% this created the video that you will see below.
