In LiveStage Pro, one can use SetRateTo().  For example:

[FrameLoaded]
SetRateTo(.5)	; half speed forward

2.0 would be double speed, 1.0 would be 'normal' speed, 0.0 would be stopped and -2.0 would be double speed in reverse.

Another strategy would be to throw out frames at a regular interval.  Here's an AppleScript that does this:

Going in the other direction (adding B-frames) would be harder to do but possible.
