If using Ableton Live there is the very simple but yet powerful option to drop a quicktime on a track and have it shown as video. When I tried this the video did follow tempo just as any audio clip would, but without audio warping (Abletonish that means time stretching). This means that if you run into a lower tempo during the show video clips' audio will go slower and at a lower pitch just as the picture go slow-mo. You may chose to not mix the QT audio into the output of course. The might seem "pre canned" but it doesn't have to be all the way. See, you can treat QT clips in Live just as you treat audio clips when setting up generative music systems with the random scripting of clip launching. Any MIDI passing through your system can be assigned to also control a variable in Live to make clips follow for example live looping commands. For those who haven't tried out Live's random scripting, the best way is to fill upp a track in the session view (mixer) with video- or audio clips and for each clip you may set the probability for a chosen action to take place. One such action can be to switch to another clip (randomly, or the next, or previous clip etc etc). You may also set the frequency of how often that action will be up and of course also the probability to happen at that point. And you may have loads of alternative clip tracks set to different types of randomization and switch between them manually or set any controller in system chose which one will be active. I have noticed that if you run many video clip tracks in parallel only one is piped to the video output and that will always be the last clip launched. You're not forced to only use rapid cuts, you can also assign a MIDI CC# to rate/pitch/transform (or whatever Live calls it) to have the video's virtual slow/speed knob tweaked.
