right click in BIN folder - NEW COLOR MATTE - make the matte fully white.Put the matte in timelive,over the parts u want to flash.Use the "RED TOD/RED LINE/FADE" to make the matte shou for some frames.How many frames?It's depend on your choise- experiment with it
-----
There is other way,with efects brightnes/contrast and another with LEVELS,and the results are more beautiful,but u must use key-frameing there.

Excuse my poor english.

Yeah, like NoGreyProduction, there are tons of ways to do it, some are better than others, but obviously much harder.

Here is the simplist method. Which is pretty much just some clarifications of what was posted earlier.

Go to File > New > Color Matte > You'll get to pick the color you want, and name the matte. Pick the color you want for your flashes. The name doesn't matter.

The color matte will appear in the bin area, which is where all your source files are. Just drag the matte onto the timeline where you want the flash to be. Then rightlick the clip and select speed/duration. Change the duration to however many frames you want the flash to be, (usualy 3-4 is good for quick beats), and repeat for every flash you want.

To get it to go with the beat you just have to listen carefully and time it out, check the wavform cause that can sometimes help.

theres also an effect called strobe light i think - but if you want in sync with the music then manual placement is best

The easiest way I found is to do this:
- Select the clip you want to add the effect.
- Go to the Effects folder and go under Adjust and drag the "Brighness and Contrast" effect over the clip.
- Double click the Clip and the Effects Window will show up.
- Create a KeyFrame at the beginning of the beat and add a second keyframe at the end of the beat. The first keyframe, adjust the brightness so you have what looks like a flash (bright screen) and at the second keyframe, bring the brightness back to normal value. That will make the entire clip flash with 1 beat.
You can keep doing this over and over again until you have the part you want finished.
Now, if this is a slow beat, this may not be what you want because once you start back at the 2nd beat, the brightness will slowly go up and then back down. So, you can either use the razor and split the clip over and over and copy and paste the Attributes of the clip to each clip you want the beat to start over with.

Then you can do the really easy think and apply the effect to a semi transparent Matte (Photoshop gradient (about 50% or so, make sure the background is transparent by copying the layer and pasting into a new layer and then deleting the backgound). Put the matte at the beginning of a section you want the beat to start, add the brightness and then again with keyframing, add a 2nd keyframe to the end of the matte to bring the level back down to normal. Copy and paste the matte on the timeline where the beats start. And there you have it, the really long way to do anything. ;-)

You know what, scratch the Matte idea I gave, I wrote that one with a screaming kid around.

I would recommend you not place a flash on every damn beat of your video. That would just get annoying.
