I often do 2-3 hour projects with Premiere, but generally
split them into parts. When parts are completed, I export/
import them as files and drop the files on the timeline to
replace parts that are there. BTW, for a 6-camera edit
in Premiere, see: www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/multi-camera2.htm
