Rendering as you go?

Hi all,

I am currently working on a movie for some friends and family members that I am editing over the next three months as summer events happen. In the past as I have had to render things it has taken a huge amount of time for pieces that will be much shorter than the one Im currently working on (this one will probably be over an hour long).

Would it help if I render each segment as I go, or will I always have to render the entire project at the end to print it to tape or create a dvd?

Thanks, a relative newbie

Will you put the final product on DVD or SVCD? Or VHS? Sure, why not render! If you're going to put on DVD/SVCD, make each render a chapter. If on VHS (or other tape format) and want to print to timeline, render your finished parts to NTSC DV avi file. Then when you're all done put all the renderd parts in the timeline and print to tape! I use this trick for making large video's then making a playlist in WMP and playing it back and recording to VHS from my TV Out on my video card.
