Yes, that's a built-in feature called proxy video. It makes lower resolution copies of the video files, you edit with them, it's a big load off your machine (and easier on RAM), you can render a low quality version from the proxy files for you or someone else on your team to preview for any last minute changes, then you can render out the entire thing from the original high res files.
