Video reactive music

Hey,

I've been given the task of creating music that is responding from a video, if it were a slow video it would be relaxing music or if it was a fast moving video the music would be expected to be rather loud and fast.

We have no idea where to start and how to begin this, so if someone could point me in the right direction then that would be amazing!

Have a look at the jit.3m and jit.op objects, they should give you plenty of useful information from a movie to control the audio playback with.
