I guess this is what you want. And if it isn't then I'm not sure just how you want to combine those frames.

Thanks for commenting Myrsloik.
Yes, that is part of what I want, the problem is that with your proposition I merge the current and 9 adjacent frames into one, then merge the next 19 and so on, leaving me with a speedup factor of 19.
What I want to do is take merge x frames (the number of frames "x" represents depends on the speedup factor and what kind of function is called - as said above, asymmetrical functions are also possible). Then move on by y frames (y is the speedup factor and always <x) and repeat.
I assume the only thing missing to achieve what describe in my first post is a helper script that calculates the weighting based on a given function and the desired speedup factor. I know you can just put variables (that get calculated and served by the helper script) into the "AverageFrames()" call but how to do you implement varying frame amount? Would you just add a very high amount of variables into the AverageFrames()" call, where the first and last variables are zeros (if the function works with less frames) or is there a more elegant way to do this?
To put it another way, I want to speed up the footage by a factor of y but use x amount of frames for each blend (where x>y), so the motion blur (trails) overlap from frame to frame.
I hope it became clear what I am trying to do, please bear with me and my limited abilities to explain what my goal is.
