Can videos be produced in the background or using another instance of PD16?

My video projects are getting more complex over time, therfore my videos are taking longer and longer to produce, especially when saving the 1920x1080 resolution. I find myself doing a bunch of editing, and then have to wait for PD16 to produce the segment before I move on to another segment. Is it possible to have PD16 produce the video in the background, running under a separate instance, or through a command line so that while a video segment is being produced, I can continue to edit other segments using PD16?

This capability would be most helpful if it exists.

G'day Greg -

I think the short answer would be no. PDR needs to be running to produce & it's not possible to have more than one concurrent instance.
