PP CS5 Effects

Question

Some effects seem to be gone in CS5, like radial blur.
Where can I see a comparison of all old and new effects?
Are there any new effects for Premiere CS5?
I am very underwhelmed by CS5 and the whole 64 bit Mercury revolution.
Seems high performance is guaranteed by removing plugins that require machine power.
Matrox dropped all of it's great effects, so I now have to create them with Adobe plugins; think shine and glow.
But it seems even Adobe scrapped many plugins.
No wonder realtime speed can be guaranteed.
Is there a way to get an offline help file without the off-topic online contamination?

Answer 1

Thanks for the answers.
I somewhat start to like Premiere CS5; it has rendering quircks but I can work around them with consistent results.
Took me a while to avoid low quality render results, but I found a solution; turn on Maximum Render Quality in the Sequence menu. Leave Optimize Rendering For Performance on in the Preferences until you get memory problems; just switch to Memory then. Drastic improvement of quality. Also make sure Premiere uses Matrox uncompressed rendering in stead of the usual i-MPEG crap; Matrox uses the Premiere Preview rendering architecture to render it's master results.
Ten layers with a most evil mix of effects, keep on playing realtime without one crash. You just need to do a "render all" to get 100% quality, especially for field blending in slomos and 3D DVE edges; they will improve greatly. The yellow line will become green. Playback should be perfect then, but I always get one dropped frame hickup when playing the first time. Second time it's OK.
Only quirck was a title on slomo video; it rammed things down by two pixels. later on this error could not be reproduced. But beware.
Oh yeah, field reversing and so on, cancels slomos; they go back to 100%.
Matrox effects may need to be stacked higher or lower in the effects hierachy when render errors and/or artifacts occur. They do disappear then.
Stand alone slomo videos must be covered by a transparent video layer, to force rendering by "render work area" which greatly enhances field blending.
Just hitting return does not force-render everything anymore.
Renders are re-used in nested timelines; saves time.
Photoshop layer modes in Premiere prevent the need for After Effects 1/3 of the time.
Since I can't find a shine or even the good old radial blur anymore, I ordered BCC to compensate for the lost effects.
Heavy CS4 Premiere or CS4 After Effects projects should be considered lost. Even though downwards compatibilty is claimed, it is not working with somewhat complex productions. The CS5 apps just don't digest them.
Matrox and CS4 was luxury with a slow engine; Matrox and CS5 is spartan setup with a fast engine.
