> Is that list of missing features for the Mac version of PPro CS5
still current, or has it been updated in the newer versions?
What is in the Help document should be current. (Sometimes you need to read the comments on a given page to see some updated information.)
Or are
there any plans for including these features in future upgrades of CS5?
If you want to see something added or changed, submit a feature request.
Do
you have any idea why these features are not included?
Premiere Pro came back to Mac OS only a couple of versions ago. At that time, porting some features over to the new platform was considered to be not quite worth it because the features weren't much used, anyway. In many cases, the effects and features that are on Windows only have alternatives that are available on Mac OS. Much of what didn't come over to Mac OS were obsolete effects; we need to keep them around so that projects created with them can still work in the new version, but in many cases there wasn't much point in rewriting them for a new platform.
I'd love to
start using the PPro CS5 on Mac, but I am worried about some of the
missing features, that are quite useful, eg. Camera Blur, Ghosting,
Color Replace etc...
As I said, there are alternatives---usually superior alternatives---that are available on Mac OS. For example, the Change Color and Change To Color effects are available on both platforms, so the lack of the Color Replace effect shouldn't be much concern.
But, again, if you want to see something added or changed, submit a feature request.
