   You would likely chop the video into sections to begin with.   
      
   Then if you know a section is annoying and needs a speed up,   
   you do the transformation on just the section. Then, splice   
   all the pieces of processed video together.   
      
   Maybe at the splices, you ad a fade out/fade in.   
      
   Some Youtubers, seem to do speed changes right in the   
   middle of something, with no fades or anything... and usually   
   with a few "glitches" in the vid.
