Filter "Speed: Forward only" seems to not consider changed Duration of Clips

You will have your reasons to think like that

The “reason” is only that it is a lot of work and nobody has volunteered their time for free to make it work they way you expect.

@snowmen

So how is the filter supposed to be used?

This is the advice I have offered in the past. Yes, it is different than other tools. But I do not think it is too cumbersome.

Speed filter and clip length

Go to the clip properties and set the duration to something longer that will meet your needs. Maybe just make it way longer than you need. For example, if you are just going to double the speed, then reduce the length by half. But if you are going to use keyframes to make some interesting effects, maybe you don’t know how long it will need to be until you are done. Apply the Speed filter and adjust the keyframes to your liking Drag the right edge of the clip to trim it back down to the length …
