  • Problem with Gausian Blur and Channel Blur effects

    Posted by Juan Lesta on September 2, 2024 at 7:06 pm

    Hello all!
    I’m running FCP 10.8.1 over MacOs 14.6.1 on M1
    I am editing 4k footage on a HD project.
    I’m experimenting an issue when I apply any of these effects on any clip: the effect automatically upscale the clip. I checked all the parameters, but onece is applied it automatically is up scaled and there are no way to avoid this scale problem.

    Any idea about how to figure out?
    Thanks in advance

    I think you’re applying 360º versions of those effects. They can be unpredictable if you’re not editing on a 360 timeline.

    Remove/replace with non-360 effects.

    OMG!!!!

    that’s the solution!!!
    Thanks Doug!!!

    In addition to this: does exist a channel blur non 360?
    I only find the 360 version and I need to blur only the alpha cannel.

    Thanks again!!

    I haven’t seen a non-360 channel blur, but haven’t really looked either. Could maybe build one in Motion?

    Well, that was easy!

    Threw this together just now… unzip and drop this folder in your templates folder here:

    Mac HD / Users / Juan / Movies / Motion Templates / Effects / Custom

    Just make the Custom folder in there if there isn’t one already. For some reason, the max slider position in the default channel filter only goes up to 64, but you can drag that number higher in the inspector.
