1. Rendering is the process of merging all video tracks, effects, transitions, etc. frame-by-frame into the edited video frames that the user will view. The more tracks, effects, transitions, etc. used, the more processing must be done. Some of the input tracks may be in different codecs and file formats, which must all be converted into a common format specified by the sequence settings. Lots of source and output frames must be in memory simultaneously, thus the more tracks, effects, etc., involved, the more memory is required. Since there is a lot of repetitive processing involved, multi-CPUs running in parallel can greatly reduce the processing time. The CUDA technology uses some processing capabilities present on some NVidia graphics cards, but this is happening separate from display processing. 2. Exporting is the process of taking those final, rendered frames and converting each of them, frame-by-frame, into the final useable video file. The actual processing varies according to which CODECs to apply, frame resizing, and the output file format. As with rendering, this process can also require a lot of CPU power, and also can benefit from multi-CPUs running in parallel. The problem of freezing to locking up while rendering very short clips is something that should be avoidable because most users dont have that problem. Since the problem seems to be dependent on video length, we should focus on the memory itself, such as its quantity, integrity, or anything that can starve the rendering process. The number and speed of CPUs are probably not relevant, since they affect the speed but not the freezing and locking problem.

I am now officially confused, because it seems as though he uses "rendering" and "exporting" interchangeably. Can someone try to explain this in relationship to my slooowww to freezing to locking up while rendering very short clips? We haven't reached the exporting step yet, but i expect to have similar issues then too.
