Good strobe plugin
Hey, does anyone know a plugin with a good strobe effect? Essentially something that will make the screen flash with the beat of the music so I can put it on my TV for my upcoming house party and get a nice club effect.

R4 has a strobe overlay that should be perfect, but the beat detection with it is terrible and it flashes seemingly randomly. I tried tweaking the settings but it still seems completely random.

There's a few strobe light plugins I tried as well, but I'm looking for something more than a simple flashing white screen.

Any ideas? Thanks!

i made a (very simple) strobe preset for AVS. i think it matched you specifications (flash onBeat)

Try this (in a Trans / Color Modifier and put it at the end of any preset.

It acts like a fastbrite, except only on beats, and it fades out. If a beat occurs while it is still "fading", it will add to the effect.

Init:
FadeSpeed=.6; //Must be less than 1
BrightEffect=.5; //How much brightness increases every beat

Frame:
Val=Val*(1-FadeSpeed)+FadeSpeed;

level:
red=red*val;
green=green*val;
blue=blue*val;
