Have you tried the Essential Graphics function? You can import graphic elements (PSD, PNG, etc.), animate them, and add text, animating the text if you want, and then save the whole thing as a Motion Graphics Template. Then just drag the template from the Essential Graphics panel into your timeline and change the text. The animation will remain the same, just the text will change. The time you spend recreating your animation once will probably be much less than having to do the dance you described in your post.

“Use Previews” doesn’t come into play unless you’re using “Match Sequence Settings,” and at that point it’s simply compiling them into an identically-formatted file, not recompressing. If your previews are set to a mezzanine codec such as iFrame MPEG, ProResHQ or Cineform, they’re pristine and ready.
It’s extremely common (and good practice) to create a mezzanine-quality file as a master and use that to create deliverables. I set my sequences to have QuickTime ProResHQ previews, then export a master using “Match Sequence Settings” and “Use Previews.” It’s a huge time saver – a :30 commercial exports in a few seconds, a four-minute video well under a minute. I’ve even found it faster to export a mezzanine work-in-progress file to use for creating low-res h264 drafts for clients or colleagues, than to re-render effects-heavy parts of the timeline.
As for the specs in the green screen key, try exporting a pristine “match sequence” file first and check that for the artifacts.

You can add a TC track to movies that don’t have them. Here’s a terrific app for that:

Apple seems to think you CAN view captions in QuickTime player, if they’re CEA-608 captions:

No clue about other caption formats.Windows Media Player instructions here (it's an old post but worth a try):

A quick search here in the Premiere forum yielded this post from a few years ago:
Last time I tested, if you add a 29.97i clip to a 23.976p or 24p then Premiere will reverse the pull down, guessing simple 3:2 pulldown.
If the clip looks wonky, then you can right click > interpret footage and set it to advanced pulldown or have it guess.
It may have functioned differently in previous versions but Premiere has been quite good in recent years about making footage conforming seamless until you go in and tweak clip parameters.
I haven’t tried this, as I don’t have any 3:2 footage, but it’s worth a try!

You might want to jump into AfterEffects to do this, and from there export a file you can work with in Premiere. I’ve looked in Premiere and can’t find a ready way to do it. Here’s a link to the AfterEffects workflow:
The tricky part is going to be making sure the pulldown cadence is consistent throughout the entire program. If it was indeed one long playout from film to tape, you’re in business. If it’s 23.98fps film footage transferred to 29.97fps tape and then edited, the cadence may change at each edit and you’re in for a world of hurt.
Good luck!

Which version of Premiere are you using? The default shortcut for adding a dissolve is CMD+D. Also, make sure you have actually selected the cut or the end of the clip, rather than the entire clip.
