Okay Ive had these problems for a while... a few questions:
1. Does exporting video really always takes a long time? I dont mind the space consumption, but I have a decent computer (6600 Core 2 duo processor, 2 gigs of ram, 8800 GTS 320mb nvidia) and for a 5 second animation edited video, it takes about 10 mins to export. Sometimes the frame rate of saving into a movie is so slow at certain points. Idk the problem here... does the size of the video or pictures affect the speed? Does the number of tracks i use affect the speed? is there a certain setting? Ive tried many kinds of file types: avi, mov, rmvb, mpeg2... but all of them are relatively slow. Any information, help, or suggestions is much appretiated.
2. The video preview is laggy for me. Not editing laggy, but when i playback the video doesnt sycronize on certain complex scenes i edit. Sometimes it doesnt show much in certain video and picture files i use. Also, if i do some movement editing, the preview gets laggy again. For an example, i do a simple motion step for a picture or video (pan from left to right or something) and at first it is smooth in preview, but when it hits the panning, it starts to lag. What am i doing wrong? or is it because my computer is not good enough? Is there a certain settings for better preview?

1) I think it depends on how much Premiere has to render. The more you have going on the longer it will take. Even a 5 second clip could take a while if it has a lot of effects and layers. And believe me... 10 mins isn't anything... try 20 hours. >_<
2)It's just Premiere being the resource hog it is. One thing you could try doing is using a MJPEG codec as your preview codec. For Premiere Pro I suggest <a href="http://www.pegasusimaging.com/pvmjpegdo ... ">PICVideo MJPEC</a>. Set the quality down to like 20 or 30. Another tip... stick a blank video with maximum opacity on a your topmost video track so whenever you add a clip, you can render it with the codec instead of Premiere trying to play it back in realtime.
Hope this helps.

To The Origonal Head Hunter:
Since ive tried alot of ways to export the video, i will show you one way and its settings. I didn't want to make screen shots, so i made a video:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ANV7E02Z
By the way, in the video i show how I lag in the play preview and proof how long it took me to save the video, AND the actual 5 second video i was making. As you can see its not even done, theres no background or any other special effects i was planning on.
To Krisqo:
I will try your suggestion, thank you.

jesus it shouldn't be taking that long to render whith your system specs, I suppose it begs the question of wether your system is setup correctly (2GB of RAM going nowhere doesn't halp if you catch my drift) then again there's RAM and then there's shit RAM and not all motherboards are created equal.
have you tried exporting lagarith/huffyuv/uncompressed and seen if 1 works better than another?
and yeah what the teddy bear said about laggy preview (I'm bad thos i preview in huffyuv and there's practicaly no lag untill i hit 5+ layers deep so err yeah)
