The Channel Blur effect has been discontinued as of Premiere Pro 24.6.
You can recreate a similar effect using the ASC CDL and Gaussian Blur effects. Follow these steps to isolate and blur each color channel:
1. Isolate the Blue Channel
- Apply the ASC CDL and Gaussian Blur effects to your clip.
- In the Effect Controls panel, adjust the ASC CDL effect:
- Set Red Slope to
0.
- Set Green Slope to
0.
2. Isolate the Green Channel
- Duplicate the Blue channel clip and move it to a track above.
- In the Effect Controls panel, adjust the ASC CDL effect:
- Set Red Slope to
0.
- Set Blue Slope to
0.
- Set the Blend Mode of this layer to Linear Dodge (Add).
3. Isolate the Red Channel
- Duplicate the Green channel clip and move it to a track above.
- In the Effect Controls panel, adjust the ASC CDL effect:
- Set Green Slope to
0.
- Set Blue Slope to
0.
At this point, your clip is split into three layers, each isolating a different color channel. You can now adjust the Gaussian Blur effect on each layer to blur that specific channel independently.
To save time in the future, consider saving each effect as a Preset.
