hmmm... you can add a white or black solid on top of your layers... and animate the opacity to bpm.

this maybe is to slow....
i would prepare video loops with black and white frames and lets say about 16 frames... so you can flash up to 8 times per beat!

other possibility which is not bpm sync is to use the timeswitcher for example on a white solid with invert effect.

Thank you so far for the suggestions, the strobe doesn't have to be on to white, it can just be the main composition blinking in and out...

you could also put an instance of FrMultiStrobe to the composition. If I understood you correctly, it should be possible to achieve the same output.

WoW great FrMultiStrobe does the trick, no fiddling around, just works as described, GREAT thank you for that link. Even has a flash button to just trigger it via a APC40 Button...

The FrMultiStrobe really lock like a great fx. I however can't find it in resolume:( I have put it in my vfx library and restarted Resolume but it isn't there. Any one have an idea of what I did wrong? or is there another way?

some effects line up at the end after "Z"... just scroll down to the end....
otherwise the vfx-folder isn't set correct ;)
