What is the role of the video card in video editing?

1
When you render an edited video, is it the video card that actually does the rendering process, or is it the CPU, or both of them? When you are running a video editing software such as Final Cut or Sony Vegas, what is the video card doing?
Thanks for your help.

The video card helps mostly with previewing the video. When it’s finally time to render the composition, the CPU takes over completely.
