strobe effect in Vegas?

Is there an EZ way to add a strobe effect to a video clip? Or drop the frame rate down on a given clip to give a similar effect?

I suggest you play with the step time and step motion plug ins maybe that can produce the effect.

Goodluck!

If you're looking to mimic true strobe lighting, then you have to black out several frames at a time then continue for a few frames etc etc...
Try making a black track (generated media) to go over the top with the black events being a few frames long, followed by a few frames of transparent... a dashed line so to speak. First make one set then duplicate it. (copy/Paste paste Paste...) You have to experiment with this but when I do real strobes I use ~ 5'ish pulses per second.
You also want harsh single source lighting, the bump map can mimic this somewhat.
