loss quality
i have a question…. i have my wedding tape and captured into premiere. i want to add a magic bullet effect, but the render time for mpeg2 render double pass is 50 hours… if i export out of premiere first as an mpeg2 then add the effect, export as a lossless. then import into encore am i losing lots of quality. is there a big difference between 1 pass and 2 pass vbr. thanks

What are your export settings in each of the 2 scenarios? Premiere Pro sets the export quality to “5” by default and reducing the quality setting to “3” speed up the render time, without any significant loss of quality.

Either way your render is going to be a long one. That’s magic bullet for ya… You could also apply the effect in Premiere and export uncompressed, then let Encore do the encoding. In my experience, Encore has been much faster than Premiere at encoding Mpeg2.
1 Pass vs 2 Pass? Not an exact science. If you have a lot of motion mixed with a lot of static shots, 2 pass will help quite a bit.
The first pass simply looks at the video for low motion shots to allow more data in high motion areas. If your final video is less than an hour, just use CBR 8.
