I can’t speak for your render times, that really depends on your processing arsenal.
H.264 is going to be the way to go, as a file. HD would probably take less time to render since there is no scaling involved. You also won’t need to check the maximum quality box (needed for better scaling) which means faster render times.
As for bit rates, I would try 10 MB/S CBR first (if you are going HD) , or VBR 2 pass / 5 average / 10 max.
CBR will encore much faster, do a small work area test and see if you like the quality. If this is talking heads, you might even be able to go lower and keep quality in.
Then hand it to then on a stick.
For DVDs, 3 hours is a very long time, unless you are going to a dual layer, and I wouldn’t recommend that on a consumer burner.

Hi Matt,
The clips need to be on the same track and they need to be butted together.
Other than that, as long as the current version of the plugin is supported by Premiere, there should be no issues. That’s unless I misunderstood your question…

If this is idle, you may have an airflow issue, although it depends on the room temparature. How high do they get during render? I wouldn’t mess with Speedfan settings, there are too many configurations, but you can check those against your hardware specs for min max temperature. One more thing on your crashing troubleshooting, unplug every connected devices except what you absolutely need, I had a bad USB stick crashing my system once.

You will see right away if your temps are above normal.

Speedfan is a free software that let you monitor temperature in different areas of your computer, including the CPU and your NVidia card GPU.

Hi Charles,
I have not seen your previous posts, so I apologize in advance for possibly repeating what you already know. If this is a new clean installation, and I mean clean from a blank drive, then this likely has nothing to do with Premiere, but simply with the fact that Premiere is pushing your machine more than any other application, thus why you only notice the crashes with Premiere. Blues screens are very rarely link to software issues on clean installs. I have not seen a blue screen on our PCs in the last year +.
Defective hardware such as RAM or CPU are a possibility. I would pull out all the sticks and Run Premiere with just one and see if things improve. The other possibility is heat, especially if this is homebuilt.
Heat either on the CPU on the GPU. That’s easy enough top monitor with speed fan, or Coretemp.

My only problem with PIPs in Premiere, if I may Jon:-), would be scaling quality. AE just does a better job, very noticeable in HD.
It gets worse if you happen rotate the PIP in a 3D, there is no anti-aliasing in Premiere.

Hi Eric,
The screen is a bit under lit to my taste, I usually light at around 45-50 ires on the screen itself to get a bit more saturation in the greens, but you’ll also need some distance to avoid spill.
You problem though, is mostly noise. This will always show up on matte edges. My advice in this case would be applying a denoiser first. This is the software that I use, and you can download to see for yourself.
For more advanced keying, I would look at After Effects with either Keylight, or Red Giant Primatte.

Between you and me, not a bad look… most people abuse my patience with fading titles 🙂
Are you using card specific dissolves (as in Blackmagic dissolves, etc ?)

If you want a continuous PIP of an sequence that’s already been edited. Create a new sequence. Bring the old sequence in twice on 2 layers, and delete one of the audio layers using the Alt/option key.
Then use a combination of the crop filter and motion control settings on your top layer to shrink the size of the image / zoom it in, and position it. There are also PIP presets in the latest version of Premiere.
Note that this would be easier to achieve in After Effects, if you already know the software.
