one filein cannot refer to two different points in time. Instead, use 2 fileins pointing to the same footage, slip one and use layerX.

Use a Reoder node to delete channels. If you want only the green channel, change the reoder gstring from "rgba" to "00g0".
Then use AddLayer Nodes, to recombine all channels.
