Hi everyone, I'm trying to get a flashing effect, like it's blinking in black, so it seems it's going with the music... Can someone Help?
I'm using Vegas Pro 8.0

For a flashing effect you can try cutting out your clips to the parts you want to flash and stretch the timeline to make it easier

how do you make the flash faster?

it's simple just stretch the timeline ( the left scroller) use the right Right/Left Arrow move the left scroller arrow to the right to make your clips faster and flashing to split your clips and separate them like a pattern.

Or add a Black media generator on top of the clip and do the same with it, thats especially helpfull if you want to lower the strength of the flashes (just lower the opacity of the media generator) or when you want to add flashes to a clip you cant cut (because its part of a crossfade or something)

premiere has a "strobe" effect as standard, but it's much better to time it yourself.

I think by "stretching the timeline" that guy actually means to zoom in on it and time it that way, make the cuts faster/more cuts in a short amount of space.

the way i like to strobe or flash is to simply insert generated Media->Solid Color (or Sony Solid Color) and select the white preset. Then choose your fade-levels.

Take that solid color (white) and put it on its own video track, and set the composition setting button to additive (you know the green one that lets you set source alpha, dodge, subtract, etc)
