Strobe Light effect

The Strobe Light effect performs an arithmetic operation on a layer or makes the layer transparent at periodic or random intervals. For example, every 5 seconds the layer could become completely transparent for one-tenth of a second, or the colors of a layer could invert at random intervals.

This effect works with 8-bpc color.

Strobe Color
The color of the strobe light.

Blend With Original
The transparency of the effect. The result of the effect is blended with the original image, with the effect result composited on top. The higher you set this value, the less the effect affects the layer. For example, if you set this value to 100%, the effect has no visible result on the layer; if you set this value to 0%, the original image doesn’t show through.

Strobe Duration (secs)
How long, in seconds, each strobe lasts.

Strobe Period (secs)
The time, in seconds, between the start of subsequent strobes.

Random Strobe Probability
The probability that the strobe operation applies to any given frame.
