Pixelated/Blocks in certain sections of Premiere exports

I'm having an issue where the same part of a video is pixelated/blocks upon export from Premiere:

Here is a screenshot of Premiere around that same moment, no pixelation at all in Premiere, so it's not an issue of the original footage being corrupted or something:

What's weird is that 99.9% of the video exports perfectly, there are just two little moments throughout the whole 6m30s duration that appear pixelated/blocks like in the first image above.

 

When I export just a 10 second clip (5 secs before and after) this moment on the clip to test it, that short little exported clip does not have the pixelation and blocks. So then I assume the issue is fixed and export the whole 6m30s clip again and then that same problem appears again, in the same spots. Why?

 

Here are my export settings (and I've toggled "Max Render Quality" on/off so it's not that):

Thanks in advance to the community for any suggestions or advice!

The source footage has a variable frame rate and you should use HandBrake to transcode the source footage to Constant Framerate and use that footage as source footage. Then, change the Timebase on you sequence from 59.997 to 59.94 and make sure to export as 59.94 as well.

Averdahl-- worked perfect! Thanks for the tip on HandBrake also for the constant framerate! Thank you!
