This is normal If a scene is too dark for the camera to AF.

Re: Canon 550d Video Focus Problem

With the 550/600D, you ether need to focus before you record or manual focus when you are recording.  If you want to be able to focus while recording, you need one of the more recent Canon cameras that have DPAF (Dual Pixel Auto Focus).
