Exporting an hour long movie and part of the output is completely blank

I have an hour long project which is very simple with very few clips and transitions.
I have exported as Pro Res 422 (Master File) and in the export window I can skim through the clip and all seems fine. When I export a whole chunk in the middle is completly blank! No video or audio.
The parts before and after are fine. In fact the same clip appears all the way through, and the blank part is referencing the same clip as the other sections. The blank section is from 26min to 57 mins (if you can see from the screenshot)
I have checked all the media is in the Event folder and not referenced elsewhere. I have tried to delete render files etc.
I am using the latest FCPX.
Has anyone else encountered this? Very weird

Hi Russ. Original footage is ProRes 422 (recorded on an Atomos Samurai). I copied into the event when I imported and did not need to optimize.
The 1st time I exported as above, the middle section was blank.
The 2nd time I exported (after deleting render files) the first section was blank.
I am now attempting to join the 2 sections together and re-export!!!
Apart from the single video clip, I have used a number of jpegs and under each jpeg is a custom black generator to produce a black background under the images. I wonder if they are causing it or maybe there is a jpeg with some weird resolutions or something.

TS1846 I have edited a movie in Final Cut Pro and the video has been smoot all the time. Now, when the one hour long movie is ready the video seem to paus every 5 sec (only for half a second). It does it all the way through the movies. What is wrong? Sudd

What is wrong? All the sudden.

We need info, info, info!
What version of FCP X?
Did you render? what are the project specs? do you use many compound clips? how much ram, hard drive space, how is the hard drive connected?
It looks like your mac can't keep up. Maybe the bottleneck is the hard drive, or something else.
Try exporting a master file and see if the video is ok.
Also, keep Activity Monitor open and see how much memory pressure you've got.

HT1657 I rented a movie and accidentally hit the menu button and now I can figure out how to go back and watch it . When I try to press rent again it says you have already downloaded this movie go to settings and check for downloads but I can find it.

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like microsoft office products ...excel, word etc. I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
13-inch: 2.6GHz
with Retina display
Specifications
2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)2

That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
Good luck in making your decision!!

I downloaded an app off the store which said it was free and part of the 5 year promotion. I've been charged for the app by the store. I don't want the app and there's no one to speak to about it. Who can I call and how can I get the app off my phone?

You cannot call anyone. You contact them as everyone else does: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
You delete the app as you do any other app. Hold an icon until they wiggle. Tap the "x". This is covered in the manual.

Why the ISTORE of Malta is not up to date with the latest movies and series like the UK & USA and why old movies are being uploaded .
I believe the apple should be universal in all the products and a small island like Malts should have the same products for sale on ISTORE like of the UK and USA.

The iTunes and App stores are inherently different in different countries. Local laws on copyright and other limits on the distribution of intellectual property make it impossible for Apple to simply put everything in every store. Sometimes, the owner of the intellectual property does not allow it to be distributed everywhere. Keep in mind that Apple does not own the music, books, movies and such that they allow for sale in their store front, so they do not necessarily have any say in what may, or may not appear in what store.

What is this Hour Glass Model and what is the best order of dimensions

What is this Hour Glass Model and what is the best order of dimensions in Essbase cube (Block storage model)

Dimension order has a huge impact on performance.. The worst case I ever saw was in a pre-sales situation where an outline was thrown together very quickly by someone not experienced with Essbase. A rather small retrieval took 3 minutes despite the fact that there was absolutely no data in the database! Rearranging the dimensions made retrievals instantaneous..

Why is my iPhones volume silent only between the hours of 8pm and 7am when the night selection isn't selected? How can I fix my iPhone 4 problem?

May be you have turned the DO NO DISTURB in your iphone settings.
Check as below DND settings
Settings>>Do Not Disturb
If you are iPhone is on version iOS 5.X there was a bug which does not let the DO NOT DISTURB function properly.
SO, its better you to latest iOS version 7.0.4, no other versions of iOS are signed by APPLE hence forth.

My Iphone 5 doesn't sync most of the time. First time I brought it to Apple Store they replaced the cable. Second time, was there for 4 hours no joke and still does the issue. Today, same thing. What do I do now!? :(

Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty. That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

If there is an item in there drag it out.

What tool can I insert in tool box to undo last stroke and return to where I previously left off, e.g., when I am writing an e=mail and part of the message is deleted--so I don't have to re-write the whole message again?

I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts. After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were. Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

I tried the first aid tasks but the issue is still there. I have more info now though. It's not a problem with merging.
The problem is that new projects are being generated everytime aperture starts (with the same name, ie 01, 02.... and 01 (1), 02 (1) .....)
When aperture start, it shows "importing". When I click on importing, it goes into the activity box. In the activity box, has many lines as below. The added projcts are all empty. It's annoying because i have many useless projects being generated.

HT201303 I have rented 2 movies the past 9 days and they won't transfer to my iPad - error message says that they cannot be played on my iPad. I haven't watched either movie and this is the first time I have ever had this happen.

I have rented 2 movies the past 9 days and they won't transfer to my iPad (first generation). Get the same error message that says they cannot be played on my iPad. I haven't watched either movie and this is the first time I have ever had this happen after several successful movie rentals and transfers.

When you have a query please post the feed URL rather than its contents. For the record, yours is at
http://www.honywoodschool.com/podcast/44986
I don't have an iPad to test this, so I can only refer you to Apple's Podcast Tech Specs page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#formattingvideo
This says that the maximum video size for an iPad is 1024x768 - your latest episode is 1280x720.
Slightly confusingly, it also says
'iPad & Apple TV can play the following video formats:
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format'
which suggests that mp4 files are even more limited.
Incidentally your feed gives this URL for the media file:
http://www.honywoodschool.com/user/59/133934.mp4
However when downloaded this produces a file called 'howtosetupappeid.mp4' so soe sort of redirect appears to be in place, and these can sometimes cause trouble. It's better to link directly to the file - it's possible that the iPad doesn't handle the redirect.
That's all I can suggest: if it still doesn't cover the problem I can only refer you to the iPad forum where someone may be able to actually try your podcast and offer a comment.
