Creating flashies in videos

[shamu200]

I don't know how intelligent the topic title sounds, but it's the only thing I can think to call it. What I'm wanting to know is how do people make quick flashes of a solid color, usually black or white to sync up with the music? Do they just use an image that lasts only a couple frames that they place on top of the video, or is there a digital effect that people use?

One good example of what I mean by flashies would be this video: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... d_id=23945

If anyone could help me with this question, I'd really appreciate it

Find a drum beat, then just create a solid white or black JPEG and put it in the drum beat's sync. Shorten it to a few frames and there you go.

Yes.
