Quote Is there any way to create gradual video speed changes? I want to have the middle section of a clip to slow to a stop and then speed up again.

I'm looking for something more subtle than creating a time shift.

Looks like you haven’t received an answer in 3 days. There is no way to do it without doing splits and increase/decrease the speed in each. See this post which still applies today: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/40592.page .

You really don't need to split video with the split tool as links suggested. You can simply use the time shift as you commented, just define multiple ranges with differing speed. Not ideal by any means, discussed prior, https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/79349.page#post_box_326097

Too bad...it seems like a natural thing to do, although the programming would probably be complex. Jerry Schwartz

Depending on the length and content of the clip, the Action Camera Center might work, especially since you want to pause the clip completely.

I tried freeze frame, but I decided that using time shifts gave me a more pleasing result. I'm working on the parting of the Red Sea. Since it's going to be used as a Zoom background, I'm not aiming for an Oscar. I'm happy with what I got.

If I wanted it to be closely inspected, I'd use more time shifts.
