Half of film comes out black during export

I'm hoping someone here can help with an issue II'm experiencing when exporting my film.

The export seems to work fine, but when I open the file only the the first half of the film shows, and the second half is just showing a black screen (but the audio is exported).

Does anyone know what the issue could be? I've tried exporting as .h264 and also Prores422, and the issue is the same on both.
I can see and edit the film fine in the timeline, so can't identify what is causing an issue when I export.

Any help most appreciated.
thanks

DO you have any roles disabled? That's the only thing I can think of.

I haven't played around with any Role settings. Are there any particular ones I should have enabled?

IF you haven't done anything with it than that's not the problem.

Check your project timeline. Are the clips in the second half of the timeline dimmed? If so, you may have inadvertently hit the V (visibility/disable) key.

Thanks for the responses guys.

I've attached a couple of screenshots so you can see what my timeline looks like, and also my export settings. It doesn't appear to be dimmed anywhere.

Appreciate hearing your thoughts.

thanks

Really can't work out what the issue is 😟

You have tried this multiple times? Does the cut to black occur in precicely the same place on each export? If not, it's not a timeline problem. If so, try to share just a range that starts about a minute before the black starts.

Thanks. I seem to have resolved it. I cut off a few seconds from the segment and it has meant the rest of the film exports ok now. Must have been some kind of data corruption in part of the footage.

thanks
