Q: Apply transition to single layer

I have a logo with an alpha channel, to which I'd like to apply a transition when it appears in the timeline - in this case "Directional" blur.

 

The layer below in this case is a graphic background which I want to leave alone.

 

I cannot find a means of making the transition apply ONLY to the logo layer, it always blurs the layer below as well.

 

Any ideas folks?

    The usual solution in this situation is to make the connected clip and the transitions into a compound clip - then the transition will not affect the underlying ones.

    Thanks, but it still blurs the layer below, whether connected or compound.

     

    It seems the alpha channel is blurring the underlying layer.

     

    This is my timeline...

                  Logo with alpha channel - add blur transition at both ends

    Background full-screen graphic - blurs also when track above appears

    Did you select the logo AND the transitions, and created a compound clip of them? I tried this on my mac and I have no blurring of the clip below.
