is there a plugin for After Effects to create a scene where it jumps from one scene to another according to the beat?
Here is an example, in the beginning where the drums switches from scene to scene back and forth:

nope

I think that's just called editing 101, it doesn't event go exactly to the beat, but its so fast you think it is.
What you can do is create keyframes on opacity
first one on %100
second on %0
(toggle hold state)Then copy and paste tille you get that strobing effect
- i figure there's gotta be an easier way to do this instead of manually, ie. a plugin.datnatikid
- its not that hardmoldero
- yeah you only do it once, then copy paste :)Miguex

FinalCut.
- does FinalCut have a plugin for this? or do you have to do it manually?datnatikid
- Final Cut doesn't do anything better than AE except preview video faster.CyBrainX

in AE you can control anything via the beat of the treble or bass without a plugin.

you can do it by hand, which is probably the best way.
or you can use trapcode sound keys. it's probably a very convoluted way of getting that effect, though.. as you'd have to do a lot of customizing and playing around to get it perfect.
just do it by hand. keyframes > plugins

Write an expression to set the opacity to 100% if the frame is odd or even.
Should be able to google/imaginate a solution from that sentence :)

also, just want to throw it out there by the way that if you're doing something, and you think "is there a plugin for this?" ask yourself first:
"am I just trying to be lazy, or is a plugin really the best way?"
in this case, the answer is you are being lazy. zoom into the waveform, scrub frame by frame, and make some damn key frames.

I think RehDogg has that plug-in, maybe you should try asking him? I don't have his email, but you can probably find him though his youtube...

guess doing it by hand is the way to go.
