“Think of everything in terms of building capacity.”

You might try to put a copy of the accelerated footage on a track above the original clip and try a blend mode (screen/multiple/ etc, adjust opacity to taste) and the offset the upper clip by a frame or two before or after, to add some implication of “motion blur”…it doesn’t work for everything, but it’s certainly taken the edge off of fast motion clips for me in some cases.
