I had problems rendering a similar video with Premier CS4 last week. Sounds like the same issue. My solution was to render short bursts of the video and then cut it back together in another file. Didn't lose as much quality as I expected. On the other hand, I was using one of the crap computers that our school put in the lab. My computer would have been much smoother. I just couldn't get all the files off the network that our students had used in the video. As for globally resizing, I would guess that that's not a job for premier and more a job for something else. I know adobe has a program in the third creative suite that can do it (and it's not photoshop) but I can't remember what it's called.
