  <p>The problem is that some scenes are just boring to watch, but I don't want to cut them. Ideally, I would like to fast forward them. But when I increase the  speed of the video, it just does not look very nice or natural. The video is from my motorbike, so some passages are interesting and some are not.

  <p>My question is, do you know of any transition which I can apply for such a situation?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Adobe Premiere and the footage is in Full HD 60fps. I can reduce the frame rate or resolution, if transition effect requires.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you </p>

ThreadText: # Best transition to fast forward video
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-05-07)
  
  I have about 17 minutes of footage which I would like to preserve "as is" as it has lots of authenticity to it.
  
  The problem is that some scenes are just boring to watch, but I don't want to cut them. Ideally, I would like to fast forward them. But when I increase the speed of the video, it just does not look very nice or natural. The video is from my motorbike, so some passages are interesting and some are not. But I would like to have whole route on the resulting video.
  
  My question is, do you know of any transition which I can apply for such a situation?
  
  I'm using Adobe Premiere and the footage is in Full HD 60fps. I can reduce the frame rate or resolution, if transition effect requires.
  
  Thank you
