Channel Blur Issue
Have an old background that I’m converting to HD and to eliminate some banding I added “Channel Blur”, bluring the blue channel 24 pixels. Well for a few frames the lower corner of the video completely loses it’s blue channel, leaving me with a bkg with a green square. After a few frames it goes back to normal. Happens a few times during the video
Background RGB:
Background Blue Channel Only:
Just for giggles, I tried blurring the other channels and get the same problem.

It is probably a compression issue. If your original clip is a mpg/h264/DV or any other compressed format you need to convert that to an uncompressed codec/sequence of files and then apply any fx.

No video though, just 7 solids, some animating masks, a null, and an adjustment layer with channel blur.
For fun I rendered out my BKG without channel blur, brought it back into AE, applied channel blur and it worked fine.
Obviously, I can work around the issue. I’m more curious as to what is causing the issue.
Uploaded the project, if anyone wants to take a whack at figuring this out:

At first I thought the issue was the render order and could be solved by pre-comping all layers except the adjustment layer. No joy.
So I added CC Composite to the top of the effects stack on the adjustment layer and it solved the issue but there is a slight color shift.

Thanks Brian. I’ll give that a try.
I’m really kind of stumped with this, not a big deal, easy to work around it, but still puzzling.
