Its in the “Video” folder.
Adjustment is by frames.

April 16, 2008 at 9:41 amSorry 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… -

“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.
