How is this music video effect and other similar effects are done

@Kevin - @4:44ish time is the area that he's referencing based on me selecting his awkwardly chosen font color..

at first glance it looks like its just lens flare with a bright light in the back. The light appears to have some sort of color to it as well, thus giving that pink looking flare.. Hope that is what you're talking about.. :/
 
I think he's talking about the "flickering" effect as the synth fill dopplers down at 4:44. To me it looks like two and sometimes three layers of similar but not identical footage were stacked in the timeline, with the opacity dropped down in all layers but the bottom. Perhaps a blending mode change as well. The editor cut little chunks out of the top layers in time to the synth hits to achieve the flickering effect.

Hope that helps!
