With Glow Based On Color Channels, After Effects gives the glow the layer's whole alpha (blurred), not the thresholded part, and Intensity scales only its colour: a layer below the threshold darkens what lies under its edge. Fitted to AE 2026 renders of a grey solid over red (cases 524, 807-809): the halo is the same at Intensity 1 and 3 and with Composite Original Behind or On Top, and its edge is an erfc step of sigma = 0.384 x Glow Radius at radius 10 and 30 (was radius / 2). 524 (Glow defaults on a 50 % grey solid): EffectCraft had no halo (max 116/255 off at the edge); now red 248/234/208/165/140 at 7.5/5.5/3.5/1.5/0.5 px outside vs AE 249/235/206/164/140, max 2/255 over the frame, CPU and GPU. The blur width applies to every glow; alpha-based glows keep their coverage rule (thresholded alpha, scaled by Intensity). Not matched yet: the brightness of glows above the threshold (AE about 3.7 x brighter for a white solid, cases 806, 810, 811). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
