Does it lock the computer?

The amount rendered is based on the amount of ram you set aside for the render. Is it getting to that point and stopping or is it actually locking things up?

it does not lock up, it just stops!

we have a 3min programme, the 1st 30 secs are 4 x 1/4 size images with motion track plus a bg image, then there are 5 30secs clips with audio with a clock wipe in between, and a fade to a tga graphic for 10secs at the end.

our max temp size says 895MB so we set it to about 890 or so, if we make it smaller it stops quicker down the timeline.

we are selecting the whole timeline and then hitting shift-B. - is it best to select the clips individually and render as we go or at the end ? if we had a 30min programme it would never work !

It fills up the 890 meg of ram and stops. That is normal. It is a temp storage, so selecting individual clips will delete the previous render. You probably can only render a few seconds at a time.

You can change your render quality to Draft to see more, but the quality does suffer.
