Just did a little more digging, and ran across this BTS video. Right after the introduction, they show a shot of the crew setting up in front of a GIGANTIC wall of windows. If you’ve got that much natural light, good on you! If not, my previous post is the way to go!

I’ve never seen the show, but looking at some pics online, these are my first thoughts:
Get yourself a few large softboxes and use 5600K lamps. Place the majority of them on one side of your set, and one or two (depending on your size/location) on the other side to fill in some of the shadows.
If you wanted to get really fancy, you could place a 5600K spot behind a “window” off screen, so it would throw the window frame shadow on the wall. Make sure it’s dimmable, though, so you can control how bright the “sun” is. If you go overboard, it’ll look fake!
Good luck!

There’s a fair amount of info missing here..
What version of premiere? What is the original bitrate of the footage? What bitrate are you compressing to?
If you don’t know codecs, at least tell us what camera you shot on, and what setting you have it set to…
What else is running in the background as you export?
Are you exporting to an external drive? If so, how is it connected and what is the speed of the drive?
Tell us a little more!

First off, I’d say there’s no “right way” to manage digital assets. While I think most of us would agree that a well-defined workflow of labeled media and duplication is ideal, unfortunately, it usually comes down to your DIT’s personal preference.
Secondly, I’d make the argument that if that’s how they roll, just do what you’re told. If they lose footage due to the practices they’ve implemented, that’s on them – not you.
Finally, the system I’ve always used is a label face-up/face-down approach. Face-up means empty/backed up, face-down means it hasn’t been duplicated yet. I’ve also added one additional layer of security to that, by marking labels with a grease pen before starting a shoot. Once the DIT has backed up the clips, he wipes the label clean.

My first guess would be it’s a combination of the AF mode being changed to Quick Mode, and mirror lock-up being enabled..
