<p>I know it's easy to change a part of a video to be slow-motion or time-lapse by using "speed" setting. But what if I'd like to gradually slow down or speed up over the course of two-three seconds?</p>

<p>I know I can cut the video 5 times and change the speed of individual sub-parts, but maybe there's a better way?</p>
