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

now the edge blur gets contained in the layers original alpha

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

I didn't quite get the "crop it back to its original borders"

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

CC composite is great for many things... i tend to reach for it mostly for its stencil alpha blend modes so that you can apply effects to a layer and then crop it back to its original borders

thanks for taking the time to share it visually, I appreciate it.

I will also look into experimenting with CC Composite - behind feature technique you mentioned.
usually I use CC Composite for making blend mode version of my composite for enriching the color and atmosphere and not beyond that.

this would be a precomp within the full piece

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 inertia 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 layer and use transform effect with 0->100->0 scale with an inertia expression
set anchor and position to width/2
