rendering and cancel during renders
In final cut pro, if you cancel a render, you still keep the area that has been rendered up to the point where you canceled it.
In PPro I’ve noticed that this only happens sometimes. Most of the time when I cancel a render it doesn’t keep the area that has already been rendered.
is there a reason for this?

Just for clarification, when you render in the PrPro timeline it is only creating rendered previews and not actually rendered files and unless you have a specific reason for doing this it is really not necessary in the PrPro ecosystem as the MPE takes care of lower res previews so you can continue to work and the render to the final output instead of wasting time waiting for the timeline to render.

Are you referring to previews or exports?
Previews are rendered in blocks. All completed blocks are available and marked by a green line above the timeline. Uncompleted blocks are not available once the rendering is cancelled.
When rendering an output file, the working file(s) is deleted if the job is cancelled.

how are those blocks calculated? how big is a block? Is it a percentage of the length of the timeline?

Based on observation it appears the length of each block is defined by the start and end-points of the clips on the timeline. When any clip begins or ends a new rendering file is started. If all clips start and end on the same frames then there will only be one file.
