There were many useful effects that disappeared after the latest PRemiere Pro update.

Among those are : blur in, blur out, blur convolution ... 
why ? Those were necessary.

1) Those effects have been in the Obsolete bin since what, at least back to Pr 2018. We've all had plenty of time to adapt as clearly they were going buh-bye at some point.

 

2) They do have a list published about the end of the Obsolete effects, and for every effect, they list the replacement. You may or may not see the listed replacement as an option you will like.

 

In general, those effects were ones that a) were not heavily used across the total user base, b) had math that was problematic or simply faulty in some cases, and 3) were built using ancient code.

 

So to "keep" them, at some point they would need completely new coding. Which given a) above, they weren't interested in doing. Not enough users.

 

And understand, I liked a couple of the 'Noise/grain' options myself. But not many users actually used those either.

- I am not that old. I am a relatively new user (less than a year)

- Yes, I prefer the option to drag and drop than buying other 3rd party tools to achieve things I could do easily before ... OK CapCut (and its effects) is free I know ... but for the time being I am a Premiere Pro user (Yearly subscriber).

- I get it. I'll install the Beta app in case I need some new features. But for the main app, I will stick for the 24.5 version for the next few months.

Most everything on that list can be done with other effects in the current list.

 

And plug-ins have been a normal part of the video post process in every app I know of.
