I am filming on an Action Camera (fake GoPro), It's only a 4 minute video and yet it's taking 6 hours on a VBR 1 pass 8 mbps.

I am recoding footage on 1080p 60fps, I want to export as the same settings to YouTube.

I have added lends distortion effect to removal the 'Fish Eye' look.

I'm using Premiere Pro 2020.

Let me know if you guys need more info!

That kind of performance is not surprising at all, given your hardware configuration:

Your CPU is now nine years old. Worse, it has only two physical cores, and its IPC (Instructions Per Clock) performance is relatively poor by current standards.
Your integrated GPU has absolutely no GPGPU support at all whatsoever. Not even OpenCL. As a result, Premiere's renderer is permanently locked to the software-only mode, which means that everything uses only the already woefully underpowered CPU.
Finally, newer versions of Premiere Pro hiccup significantly, if not horrifically, on any CPU platform that's more than about four years old.

As a result of all that, you simply need a newer PC. It does not have to be a desktop (as others suggested); in fact, even a current-generation $500 laptop will significantly outform that dinosaur of a low-end laptop.

Yeah it's a pretty old laptop,

The plan is to upgrade but because lack of money, I was hoping there was a quick fix or a slight improvement.

In this particular case, there is absolutely nothing that you can do. That machine is now completely obsolete. And the software situation will only get worse - period. As time goes on, older hardware will no longer be supported any more. And newer programs will no longer run properly or at all on such older or low-end hardware.

An [interim] solution to consider.

If "lens correction" is the only performance problem you have, and since clips are rather short, you can use 3rd party tool to do correction, save in lossless codec like DNxHR/Prores/Cineform, and then continue in Premiere as usual.
The tool is freeware, much faster (4min=>~15m or so for 1080/60p), but you need to know (or to pick by trial and error) the horizontal field of view for your camera. I can share script for automated conversion, if you interested.

Get a desktop if you can. Here's a link to the Hardware forum:

You really should check out Puget Systems. https://www.pugetsystems.com/

I learned about them on this forum as a beginning editor a few years ago. If you're willing to save money up to buy something good in the future, trust these people... they have the reputation they do for a reason. No, I don't work for them. I'm just relieved that I let them build my computer as a newbie a few years ago. Avoided so many of these issues.

You're going to need a new machine, no updating on the laptop. You don't want to throw any $$ at that machine.

I was looking at getting the Huawei Pro 2020. It's gonna be a while though because I can't afford atm, which is why I was hoping there maybe something I could do with this current machine for the time being.

try to switch renderers from project settings,

if you only have software only enabled, consider updating your gfx driver from the vendor's site..

also try to export to something other than H.264 like QuickTime GoPro Cineform yuv 10 bits,

you can do that before applying distortion, then apply it on the exported version and export again..

"try to switch renderers from project settings"

Not sure what you mean?

There is no option to use Hardware,

It's for YouTube and I was told that H264 was the best one to use?

Will exporting twice decrease quality?

Ok, now for some reason the time has shot down to 2 hours remaining, not complaining but not sure why....

It's not like it's a common issue, and we can say, 'oh, it's this...' - you're going to have to explain more what you're doing and the basics, what version number of PP, mac, win, OS specs, hardware specs, etc... consider this a bump
