The advantage to doing something like this in the player, though, is
that preproduced effects are extremely bandwidth intensive. Most of the
standard effects are really easy to do in software and could be done on
the client side if Real wanted to support it.
It would look better, too. Wipes and other interesting effects when
live encoded typically turn out like crap. When we do live broadcasts,
we use an alternate switch feed and a second switch operator that mimics
the producer's switching but minus the fancy effects and graphics. We
push graphics separately as a slideshow and suffer without fancy
effects. It ends up looking better overall than if we had included the
effects in the stream, and its less bandwidth intensive.

As a broadcast television producer, I would recommend using video
editing
equipment and/or editing software and "pre-producing" your video(s) with
all
of their digital effects in place before encoding them into RealVid. I
must
admit that these are very expensive at the broadcast level, but there
are a
lot of new products and programs that are affordable and are very good
for
the hobbyist or the industrial producer:
...Pinnacle's Studio 400, Adobe Premiere, Avid's Avid Cinema, etc. With
these tools, or others similar to them, you can combine your video clips
with all of the effects you want.
