Ooops, I just had a look again, and NO, it uses SEVERAL processors when you're compositing and previewing the video. So, a multi-processors setup is useful even for preapring the video. Anyway, to use all the processor, an SMP kernel is necessary. You can compile your own, or use one of the pre-compiled kernels available for your distribution.
