Physics-Based Speed Ramping

specific application of speed ramping where changes in speed are used to simulate physical forces like gravity, inertia, or impact. Rather than simply transitioning between speeds for stylistic effect, the editor uses keyframed speed curves to make an object's artificial movement appear subject to natural laws. This is a crucial technique for selling the believability of a digitally moved or composited object.
