Anyway, I have the same problem, with an additional problem, when trying Chris' suggestion. Maybe it's because I'm using multiple rather than stretch for the speed control? I updated my question with extra information and a screen recording demonstrating what I see. | |

Using Shift+K, it's a hard cut instead of the soft cut with K. This means, expanding the strip will not "bring back" what was there before the hard cut. If you now shorten the clip with the Speed Control from let's say 500 frames to 100 frames, it will automatically play 5x faster. Now there is a gap to the right. If you now move the following clip (the complete clip, not the left border) to the left, the gap is closed. Read the answer thoroughly before complaining you did that ;) | |
| Dec 8, 2021 at 15:14 | comment | added | zivkan | I used K, not shift-K (this is my first time using Blender, or attempting to do any video editing in any app. Don't asuume I have any minimum knowledge :) ). I didn't have any gaps in my video. Pressing K would split the strip at the current time and there wasn't any gap. I'm trying to create a screen gif to demo, but I have to step out now, possibly for a few hours. | |
| Dec 8, 2021 at 15:10 | comment | added | Gordon Brinkmann | @zivkan Okay, reading your question again I have to ask two things: 1. How do you split the video, with K or like Chris said in his answer, Shift+K? 2. How do you close the gap between the strips, do you move it with G (or use Backspace like Chris), or do you drag the left side of the next strip to the previous one? | |

| Dec 8, 2021 at 14:27 | comment | added | Gordon Brinkmann | @zivkan If you close the gaps between the strips, the following strip always starts where the previous strip finishes...? Strangely remove gaps with backspace doesn't work in my testfile, but you can always move the following strip towards the previous and manually place it on the next frame to it or hold Ctrl to snap it to the previous strip. Then place the cursor somewhere else, add more splits with Shift+K, select another strip you want to speed up, add Speed Control, size the strip down, close the gap... and so on. | |
| Dec 8, 2021 at 14:13 | comment | added | zivkan | As I stated in my question, I know how to add a speed control to a strip. I even have screenshots where I've done that. What I want to know is how to have a 3rd, 4th, 5th change in speed and have the clip start at the correct location (starting exactly where the previous clip finished) | |
