Sorry, I should have said "file types, or
anything else that is forcing the rendering
of the whole video..." A straight video, with
nothing changed in the editor but cuts and
the order of clips should take almost no time
to "render", though to "export" it and save it
to another file of the same type will take
some (fairly-short) time...
Make sure that the selection in Premiere that
forces image rendering of all footage is not
checked. Be sure also that the same codec is
used for capture, rendering, and export,
and that you are not changing the file type...
