Nope, AE does not automatically calculate motion blur for effects. Your observations are thus correct. The only way around this is using plugins such as CC Force Motion Blur or ReelSmart MotionBlur.

There is no such thing as a definitive film resolution. It all depends on the machine that prints your images to film in the final step. The guy or facility doing this can tell you what resolution is required. Other than that there are a few standardized resolutions such as Academic, Vistavision and Academic wide, all of which have their unique settings. Try to find some info on the web e.g. at cinesite.com or arri.tv. They have some PDF’s that contain the info you need.

What would be the purpose of such a layer type? You can already use Nulls (which don’t render i.e. are 100% transparent) and any effect I can think of can either render transparent alpha directly or made to create alpha using unmultiplying and other matting techniques. In case you are thinking that a transparent layer would fix effects that don’t create proper alpha transparency, you are wrong. This must be explicitely coded in the plugin and if it’s not, it would still render opaque on a transparent layer.

Use multiple colored solids in a sub-comp(alternatively use multiple instances of the Fill effect on one solid and control their opacity) and remap your slider values to their opacity using the interpolation methods. example:
out_opacity=linear(slider_value,3,4,100,0)
[out_opacity]
This will make the layer fade between slider values 3 and 4. Outside these values opacity will be constant. This means that all you need to take care of is the stacking order of your effects to make one color appear beneath the other. Increment/ decrement the values for each layer as needed. This is the simplest and cleanest solution. Of course there are more complex ways by calculating the colors properly, but I don’t recommend it. Next to mangling time related stuff with expressions, colors are the second most difficult thing to do.

The best in the “affordable” league is still Frischluft’s Lenscare. The best of them all is Sakura Lab’s Iris filter, but it’s not what I call affordable and it’s very prone to causing crashes (at least tzhe demo versions do).

Motion blur is not an exclusive thing of keyframes, it also works with expressions. AE doesn’t care how a motion is generated. I do this all the time and you must be doing something wrong. Check your comp settings, perhaps your shutter angel is simply too short.

Nope, you can’t access font face and several other font related info with scripts and expressions. You will have to do it manually by creating keyframes on the source text property. You could also check Digital Anarchy’s Font Hacker plugin, which may do the trick but of course isn’t as elegant as using AE’s native text tools.
