I don't think that will work very well, even if I carefully cut on key frames. The reason is that 
the minterpolate filter drops 10 frames and that means that at the join of each section there'll be 
a 1/6 second jump (or maybe worse).

Note: Whether the minterpolate filter drops 10 frames or 5 frames is the subject of [FFmpeg-user] 
minterpolate PTS v frame count weirdness.
