    There is a Strobe Video Filter.

    Its in the “Video” folder.

    Adjustment is by frames.

    Sorry I’ve only just started using final cut pro….Ive found the strobe effect and it lets me adjust on a scale of 1 to 10 Im guessing thats frames per second like you said.
    How do I work out what 0.5 cycles is? Do you know what that means? Im trying to achieve something I found written in a book, that if you add strobe lighting effects at a rate of 0.5 cycles a second you can create nausea in the viewer…

    [Ben Bickford] “How do I work out what 0.5 cycles is”

    “0,5 cycles” in regard to what time-frame?

    I’ll assume per second.

    In NTSC:

    30 frames = 1.0 second

    15 frames = 0.5 second

    IF this is what you want, it would be a freeze-frame that remained on-screen for half-second, and refreshed (new freeze-frame) every half-second.

    Yeah it is per second sorry for leaving that bit out.
    That is what I want to do….how do I do that?
