Shortcut to extend the duration of multiple frames at once?

Question

While animating I often find an object moves either too slow or not fast enough, I have a feel for time and movement and can tell, if I extend these frames by a certain amount before I move the object again I can make the illusion more realistic. The problem is the only way I think there is to do this is by altering the duration of a frame by the needed amount by selecting it and pressing f5 to increase or f7 to decrease it's duration, as many times as I feel I need too.

Which is bad if you have a 3second shot (72frames) of something moving from one place to another an have to select each one of those frames and extend or shorten it's duration before moving onto the next one, it gets tedious. I thought maybe highlighting the effected frames and pressing f5 or shift/ctrl f5 would do this but it didn't. Is they a shortcut around this, or do I just have to extend or shorten a frame, one frame at a time.

I read your question, but you don't need to extend it..

As an animator, you often change how many frames are inserted without fixing,

Even using JSFL will increase the workload.

You can change this by stretching the frame, so you just need to be familiar with the operation.

1,Select the timeline range you want to stretch,

2,The mouse is placed on the last keyframe in the range

3,When the ⬅➡ icon appears you can drag it to reach the effect of stretching or shrinking

You cannot alter the duration of individual frames. Frames have a constant duration determined by your movie's frame rate. What you are doing is adding frames to alter the duration of a tween, or whatever.That being said, to stretch out an animation, just select the relevant span of frames on the timeline, grab the right edge of the selection, and drag to the right.
