You designate the area to render by using the work area bar in the Timeline.
Timeline

Set the area to be rendered

• Position the current-time indicator, and press Alt+[ to set the beginning of the work area.
• Position the current-time indicator, and press Alt+] to set the end of the work area.
• Alt-double-click the work area bar to resize it to the width of the movie.
• Double-click the work area bar to resize it to the width of the time ruler, or the length of the entire movie, whichever
is shorter.
Position the pointer over the work area bar to display a tool tip that shows the work area bar’s start timecode, end
timecode, and duration.

time depends on your system’s resources and the complexity of the segment.)
