of your clip with another color. You can choose the operator used
and the channel it’s applied to from pop-up menus. The color
controls allow you to specify the color with which the channel
interacts.

Arithmetic

Allows you to apply varying amounts of blur to each of the color
and alpha channels of your clip simultaneously. Sliders let you
control how much blur is applied to each channel.

Channel Blur

Offsets the position of one or all of a clip’s channels. You can specify
the channel to be offset from the Channel pop-up menu, the
amount of offset using the Center Offset control, and the type of
edge to be used from the Edges pop-up menu.

Channel Offset

Offsets the color of individual channels in the clip. Using this filter,
you can create posterizing style effects. You can invert the image
or wrap the colors. Sliders let you control the offset value for each
color channel in the clip.
