In Video Speed Designer, click the tab for Selected Range instead of Entire Clip. Here you can adjust the speed of the clips and check Ease in and Ease out. This is easier than making a ton of cuts and adjusting the speed for each.

Hope this help.

Quote The one big feature that I could really use in PD is speed ramping. It seems as though this is impossible. I'm not talking about adjusting the speed of clips, I'm talking about smoothly ramping from a regular speed to slow speed and back to regular speed. I realize you could simulate it with a ton of cuts and adjust the speed for each, but that's not really feasible nor does it look as good as what Premiere can do.

Am I missing something? Is it actually there and I just don't see it, or there is some trick to it? If it's not a feature, any idea when it will be added?

It literally is the only thing that I need premiere for.

analog, to my knowledge PD can't do that, I think what you are asking for is a linear speed change from like 1x-.5x over the video length specified. PD17 can’t do that to my knowledge. The "Ease in" option only affects the first x frames of the speed up section, not a total ease in over the entire length selected so it provides no relief.

The only way to partially achieve the effect is to do it a section at a time. So, one section at 1x, then another manual section at .8x, then another at .6x...so on, as you say, not feasible, it gets pretty tedious to achieve a smooth speed change.

Ramp speed changes have been suggested prior, best you can do in PD is File > Rate Us & Provide Suggestions and provide your suggestion.
