    Greetings everyone—I’ve been studying a few music videos to as a learning tool for my editing skills. I saw a couple videos use a frame flicker effect (synced with a rapid high hat drum sequence)…It is used sort of like a transition frame for the incoming
    frame@4:00 (https://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?artist=1164800&vid=142876). Does anyone know how this effect is accomplished?
    All help, suggestions, feedback is appreciated!!!

    It’s just a rapid cut back and forth between the two scenes.

    Take the first scene and put it on the lowest avaiable track V1 put the second on V@ starting at the first high hat.

    Now the tough part is finding the cut points.

    Expand you timeline out to a point that you just see the section you are working on and maybe a little more. Turn on the audio wavform in the time line ( Option Apple W) and scrub through the time line (with Audio Scrubbing turned on) untiul you hear or see in the wave form the next Highhat hit.

    Make an edit with the blade tool and continue doing this until you are through the section then remove every other segmnet of V2.
