Found a way to replicate the effect and the performance is way better than channel blur. I use it for a halation effect.

Just set the slope to 0 for all channels expect the one you want to show. All other parameters are unchanged for me.

WHY IS CHANNEL BLUR OBSOLETE?


By @kristenf12051508

 These effects are responsible for significant project slowdowns and performance bottlenecks. In addition to all the modern options to the obsolete effects and transitions within Premiere Pro, you can also use  third-party effects, transitions, and filters.

Not sure why it's obsolete since I can't see any obvious replacement. Since it's not GPU accelerated (and therefore slow) and not used commonly enough, it's likely it was deemed not critical to update.

You might be able to do that in the Lumetri Color Panel.
