Assign the Timeline/Render Work Area function to a key under Commands.
It'll just render anything needed but won't play, or is there
something I'm missing in your question?

I think "Sailor" is refering to the silly habit of Premiere to move the
cursor back to 00:00:00:00 after rendering the timeline. I agree that
this is bizzare and counter-productive. Perhaps it made sense to
somebody at Adobe once upon a time, or perhaps they never thought
about it.

What version of Premiere? I'm using 6.5 here and if I add an effect to
some vision then select Timeline/Render Work Area the edit cursor
stays exactly where I left it ...

Strange - make sure we are talking the same process here. I don't mean
hitting enter to render the previews but selecting Timeline/Render
Work Area from the menu at the top of the screen? Prem will certainly
return to the start of the work area if you hit enter to render.

Cheers

Nope. I've never tried hitting <Enter>. I'm talking about selecting
Timeline - Render Work Area from the menu bar/dropdown menu.
At least it doesn't move your work window. So I can set the cursor
back just before the section I want to check. Still anyoing to have to
do that every time, though.

Well that is weird, coz mine certainly doesn't work that way ... and
I'm pretty sure there are no preferences set for that.

Here's what I do. Roughly center the area in the timeline window, be
sure to include the full area that you want to preview. Double Click
on the work area bar at the top of the window. This centers the
yellow work area indicator on the area displayed in the time line.
Adjust to encompass only the area to be previewed/rendered. Hit
ENTER. Preview will play from beginning of work area indicator, not
from beginning of project.

Exactly! I think it would be great if it would just render as I moved
along, but not try to play the whole production
