Bill Hunt Jan 25, 2011 6:54 PM (in response to Reese Richardson)Basically, Rendering is to produce "proxy files" used for smoothest playback. Using them for Export, can add time, depending on the format chosen for Export.
Good luck,
Hunt

Reese Richardson Jan 25, 2011 7:53 PM (in response to Bill Hunt)Thank you a good clear answer. I does seem funny that these files that have been rendered wouldn't be exported into media encorder.
Does PP5 export rendered files into M.E making the encoding go more quickly?

Todd_Kopriva Jan 25, 2011 8:09 PM (in response to Reese Richardson)In Premiere Pro CS5, you can use preview files for final output, but it's not a usually a good idea for final output. Your output specifications are likely to be different than the settings used for the internal preview files, which are---as Bill said---primarily intended to give you something that plays back smoothly during your editing. It's a good way of getting fast output for a test movie, such as something to show a client just to get sign-off on the edit. See this page: "Work with preview files".

I disagree. Using the preview files for export will invariably save time, regardless of the export format, as any added effects no longer need to be processed. Without the previews, both effects processing and transcoding need to happen. With the previews, only the transcoding needs to happen.
Now, the quality of the final output using previews is a separate issue. But for any given export utilizing heavy effects, the speed will always be quicker.

Bill Hunt Jan 26, 2011 8:15 AM (in response to JSS1138)Jim,
You are correct. This is the CS4 forum, and not the CS5 forum. Just got lost for a minute.
Thanks for that correction,
Hunt
