Good – wouldn’t want to have a media machine without it!
System:
Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
Win 7 64-bit
32GB RAM
Adobe CC 2015.02 (as of 6/2016)
256GB SSD system drive
4 internal media drives RAID 5
Typically cutting short form from HD MP4 and P2 MXF. -
My first suggestion would be along the same lines, download Videolan’s VLC Media Player. Perhaps that is already on the system? CTRL+J will display characteristics, including bitrate, in the “statistics” tab.

Not surprising that you are getting those times.
Some of the effects you are using are VERY processor intensive, and there is just no way around that.
Are you scaling any footage? If you aren’t scaling, there’s little reason to have “maximum render quality” checked. Though I admit, your image stabilization might benefit. Someone else will speak up on that,hopefully.
Is your footage 10-bit color? If only 8-bit, there’s little reason to have “maximum depth” selected.

All of the above a good suggestions.
The other thing you are battling against is the reality that you know it is a still. Others may not see it the way you do.
With that said, various techniques to help “sell” the shot have the potential to make it more realistic. Movement/action in background, inserts in windows, etc.

Bring up the screen with your export setting, and take a screen shot so we can see your settings as they are currently.

Jacob, please let us know more about your system hardware and software, similar to the list you see in my signature below. This will more likely help someone figure out your issue.

Windows or Mac?
If Windows, right-click a drive, click on “Properties”, click on “Disk Cleanup”. Take a look at the various areas of cleanup and decide which ones you wish to delete.

If you are using Premiere Pro CC, look in Video Effects for Lumetri Looks. There’s a monochrome category in there, that offers a number of black and white looks to experiment with. Some are faded to look aged, some are sharp and contrasty.

If I am understanding you correctly, you want to be able to easily re-position text while in the timeline.
Select your text clip and go into the Effect Controls tab. At the top of the stack you’ll see motion – and there’s a little square next to it.
Click that box. Your text element now has a bounding box in the program window. You can move it around at will, or resize it if you prefer. Experiment with modifier keys (CTRL, ALT, SHIFT) for different results. One of them will lock aspect ratio, I believe.

At one time, Film Impact offered a Transition Pack 1 “Lite”. It had a more limited number of transitions (four) but was completely free. Don’t know if they are still offering it. You might want to hunt around for that.
