Video exporting beyond clip range

When I try to export my video, it has two seconds of added black frame. In the timeline I can see the black area extended by a few seconds although there are no hidden clips extending that far - and no audio components reaching there. When I copied all the clips to a new sequence the export stops exactly at the end of the last clip. Is this a bug?

I am using FCPX 10.5.4 on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7

MacBook Pro 15″

Sorry, I don't understand... which is which?


I was asking about the duration of the project

vs the place where the last clip ends. Do they match, like in this example:




And YET the exported video is two seconds longer (would be about 35:05 in the example here)?


Is that it?


Try this: press Command-Shift-2 to open the Timeline Index.


Do you see anything there extending past the last clip you can see in the timeline?

Oh, sorry. The last clip ends at 1:20, the Project at 1:22.

So its exactly those two seconds which are added on export.

My Timeline Index only shows the "position" of the clips, which means clip start.

They all start before 1:15 so no issues here, but I cannot see at what timecode they end.

I guess its a bug. If there would be hidden clips the problem should have stayed when copying everything to a new timeline.
