Strobe Motion

Hi all, I'm making a music video and what I'm hoping to do is give the chorus part of the video a strobe effect as you would see under a flashing strobe light. The strobe would fire at the drum beats. I was hoping the strobe motion filter would accomplish that. I can't seem to figure it out. Any tips?
Thanks guys! ~Ken

Hi Ken
I have not used the Strobe effect, had a look but didn¡¦t make much sense of it either.
You could make your own flash, but you may need a lot and the trouble may not be worth it.
In a new project
Set File-Preferences¡XUse fit to screen as default in overlay track.
Take a colour clip ¡¥Cream Coloured¡¦ may do
Set the duration to 09 frames (you may need to experiment here.)
Render Share Create Video File to Pal/Ntsc ¡V DV
Open your project drag the clip from library to overlay track, resize to fit screen
Use Fade-in Fade out
Set transparency to 50
Drag back to library creating a copy.
Drag copies to overlay track and position.
Switch to Audio view to see the drum beats.
