This is very likely a media cache issue. You will ned to re-assign the location in your preferences. Even then, if your experience is like mine, you will still need to back and periodically clean house on your system drive.

If you are really using DVD’s and not Blu-Rays, and you are formatting for video DVD’s, you are taking a large resolution hit. DVD is a standard def format. If you are not outputting an NTSC DV widescreen file, the DVD authoring software may assume your content is 4:3 aspect ratio, making matters worse.

A great deal also depends on WHAT you are rendering.
Some effects, video noise reduction for an example, are very processor-intensive and just plain slow. That’s just how they are.
If you only have a single drive on the system, that is certainly a performance bottleneck. All drives should be at least 7200 RPM as well. I personally prefer a solid state drive (SSD) for the OS and applications. Nothing else on that SSD but those items.

Hello Austin, please let us know exactly which release of Premiere Pro you are running. The original release was rather buggy, but there’s a “dot 1” and “dot 2” release out currently.

Duke, the more you dig into this the more you will find out how much “slips ‘twixt the cup and the lip”.
It is a rabbit hole you can dive down and never come out again!
What the gents said about proper setup on your main monitor to see accurate results is spot on. After that, there’s no guarantee (zero, zip, none) that it will look right on another screen somewhere else. Heck they have set it up for the way they like their movies to look in a dark room, and see your video during the day, with all kinds of light spilling in from outside. That will change the viewing impression.
Too many variables, too many different TVs, many different manufacturers, ten gazillion different settings on each of them. Just do your best at your end; that, ultimately, is the best we can do!

Please hear this is the gentle voice intended. This is not meant to be snarky at all.
Premiere Pro is an editing app and After Effects is a compositing app. Editing in After Effects and compositing in Premiere Pro is a very effective way to cripple your workflow.
If you are heading over to AE just for Neat Video noise reduction, be aware they make the same plug-in for Premiere Pro. No need to make a trip to After Effects for that.
I would do all clip-to-clip transitions in Premiere Pro. I would color grade towards the tail of the project. Others may prefer a different approach, like color grading prior to transitions.
You appear to be taking on a lot for your perceived experience level, so don’t be too hard on yourself.

What Kalle said. If it is possible, a practical solution will likely be much less painful in the long run than an AE-tracked solution, assuming your window is purely background and not scene-critical.
If what you see out the window is scene-critical, then be patient; it will take some extra effort to get the desired result.

One resource for virtual sets with green screen inserts is videoblocks.com. They aren’t free to subscribe, but frequently offer a free download period for a subscription.
You have the option to cancel the subscription; you’ll just have to be intentional about following through on that if you do not want to be charged.
I am sure others will chime in with freebie options.

I would think multicam would be overkill, but that’s me. You may prefer to edit in a different style.
This is mostly pretty straightforward shrink-backs of presenter to reveal the presentation materials. Once you have created one keyframe for the shrink-back and the restore to full screen, you can copy, paste and position those keyframes as needed.
If it gets a little hairy due to long run time, just break up the primary clip into smaller clips at points where the presenter is full screen.

Is your media stored on the same drive with your apps and OS. Are cache files also on that drive?
That is a recipe tailor-made to make Premiere Pro unhappy.
