well...you can't really improve your export time very easily.
if you have lots of effects, cutting some might improve your time a little (same with trimming vid length).

you could split your project up into smaller segments and then export each one (won't really save time, but each segment wouldn't take 2 hours)

you could go into task manager and upgrade the thread priority (for premiere's thread)...but that could crash your computer. (another option is to go into msconfig and turn off unnecsesary services and startup programs, but you also have to be careful when doing this)

the best way to lower your rendering time is to upgrade your computer.
more ram
better cpu
switching to sata drives (if you are using ata [ide interface]...but this isn't the most important upgrade)
better video card

and you shouldn't use premiere to compress your vid (and audio)
export as uncompressed and then compress your vid in virtualDub(/Mod)
(compress your audio...assuming you didn't edit with an mp3...with BeSweet or Lame [lame is found in the amvapp])
if you don't have ~6GB for a 4 minute vid, you can try to export using a lossless codec such as huffyuv or lagarith...but some frames are almost guaranteed to get screwed up

ugh what a pain in the ass.... thats one feature i will sorely miss from WMM the ability to tell it to export 20 megabye videos out of 4 minute amvs.... *sigh* and i thought adobe premiere was perfect until this moment (still beats the living hell out of WMM but I miss that function

)

2 hours isn't that bad of a wait. I spent nearly 100 times that long ripping and clipping for the vid i'm working on now.

Get a sence of perspective. And, as was said above, don't encode in Premiere it's always messy and comes out huge.

hmm ok when i was exporting it the conformed audio files folder took up 9 gigs.... wtf is going on here...

Don't export the audio.
Combine that at the end with virtualdub from the source... unless you messed with it in some way...

alright, one more question, is there a way to merge all of my clips together so that when i render them i can just go into the render folder grab that and add audio to it?

Not that i know of... you have to actually export the video to get the finished product.

one other problem... my timeline extends over 4 hours... is this normal? My video is only 2.5 minutes, im wondering if this could be contributing to my problem at all, and how would i shorten my overall timeline length
