Man I hate that effect. It doesn;t work on frames, it works on seconds.
If you are trying to get that layer to just wink in and out of existance quickly, what I’d suggest is seting 3 opacity keyframes and making an expression that loops them.
These should be hold keyframes by the way:
Time Opacity
00 100%
02 0%
04 100%
The expression in the opacity property should be:
loopOut(type = “cycle”)
This will loop the opacity so that it blinks every 2 frames. Move them closer together and it will be every other frame.
If, on the other hand, you are trying to flash the layer as a color, I’d suugest the same thing for keyframes only applied to the effect called Image control > Tint
Set both Tint Colors to the color you want and then set the same keyframes and expression for the amount to tint.
