in previous ultimate editions there was an effect in the ADD ON effects list called , i believe autopan. where is this in St26ult? if it is not in ps26ult, is there something that can take its place somewhere in psult? 

I don't ever recall a feature of this name. What did it do? If it was part of the NewBlue plugins then these were dropped some versions ago.

Yes, NewBlue Auto pan in Elements collection.

The same can be achieved easily using Pan and zoom tool included in Editor of PS26.

 

FWIW - the Auto Pan effect was included in Newblue Video Essentials VII (provided with PS23 Ultimate). The motion presets it provides are all fairly simple, and straightforward to create using an animated pan & zoom in the built-in Pan & Zoom tool - or even the Properties tool.

is still in studio 26

Not by default.

It means that your NB FX has transfered from a previous version of Studio present on your PC at the time of PS26's installation.

Corel is no longer delivering NB FX since PS24.
