one example would be to do a channel blur on a la= yers alpha (or fast blur over the entire layer, etc)... but then CC composi= te and set it to stencil alpha.

now the edge blur gets contained in the layers original alph= a

this is the alpha channel ...the top here is just a cha= nnel blur, the bottom has the CC composite as well

could you elaborate on that technique?
I= didn't quite get the "crop it back to its original borders"<= /div>

if you could, give me a simple set of effects on a= layer where I could see the visual practical use for it.
thanks

thanks for t= aking the time to share it visually, I appreciate it.

usually I use CC Composite for making blend mode version of my composi= te for enriching the color and atmosphere and not beyond that.

just a bunch of diferent shaped dots and ovalish = shapes that make up part of a globe that is part of a larger logo.

wanted to have them each build on in one color with some ine= rtia bounce and then scale back down down leaving the the 100% scale dot in= the logo color behind.

fill color with the non logo color
take a lay= er and use transform effect with 0->100->0 scale with an inertia expr= ession
set anchor and position to width/2
