Fast approach that decelerates continuously into the final frame.
Speed range: 0.35× to 2.5×. Interpolation: bezier.

Shape
Monotonic deceleration: 2.5× down to 0.35×, with the knee at 70%. There is no peak and no recovery — the clip ends at its slowest.
Why it works
A reveal is a single question ("what is it?") and a single answer. Decelerating the whole way in delays the answer without ever cutting away from it.
How to shoot for it
A push-in on a gimbal or drone, ending on the subject. Shoot 60 fps; the last 15% plays at 0.35–0.45×.

Tips
End the source clip 0.5 s after the subject is fully framed; the curve stretches that half-second to nearly two.
This is the one curve where "no motion blur" can be correct — a clean, sharp final frame reads premium.
Chain: Slow Reveal on clip A, Hero Moment on clip B.
FAQ
Why does it start at 2.5× rather than 1×?
Because the approach is the boring part. Starting fast means the whole clip can be one continuous deceleration instead of a flat stretch followed by a ramp.
