rendering issue cs4

can anyone tell me why portions of my animation are not rendering? Out of a 3 minute rendered movie I get about 15 seconds that are blank where animations should occur. The animations are not that complex. They are 3d layers where I'm using a null object to control camera moves. The odd part is there are other portions of the movie which incorporate the same technique and it renders fine. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot? Thanks.

well if any of the layers are rendered clips from lets just say cimema 4d and you turn them into 3d layers in after effects that could be your problem.
 
Thanks Fresh. You are right it has to do with the 3D layers. I was able to fix one of the animations but the other is still a problem. I don't have any 4D clips in this piece. The animation I fixed, I turned of 3D layer and it worked fine. Imagine pictures on a wall and the camera moves randomly to each shot. I really didn't need the 3D there so turning it off somehow fixed the problem but in the other animation I am using a photoshop image which has 3 layers. I just push and rotate the camera to give that 3D feel. Can this have something to do with how I brought in the layered photoshop file?
 
Looks like I solved the problem. I turned of depth of field on the camera. Not sure if that was the real problem but at least it renders.
