Photoshop video rendering help

HELP
I shot some footage using 12 pro max at 4k 60 frames per second. I edited clips on the timeline to about a minute and a half video. I put 1080 and 30 frame rate in the boxes. I hit render.
I guess it is rendering, but how would I know? Is there a progress bar I should be seeing? PS seems to be hard at work for the past hour. I get a spinning icon, which I guess means its rendering. PS is not frozen. Is it about to be finished or am I stuck and should start again? Is there any way of knowing?
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Hi @twp
Speed of rendering depends on many factors including the source video, destination video size, and the capabilities and capacity of your computer including the graphics card.

I am using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS (other OS's could be different) and when I start to render a video, I initially get a spinning circle yet then it changes to a progress bar per the image below.

If you have insufficient memory in your system to hold all of the video in RAM (or have too many other programs open that are eating up the memory), then it will swap out to the HDD or SSD which can really slow things down.

Hope this helps a bit
