I have a film in Final Cut Pro that I started in motion, and it ends at 2:55. But when I send it to compressor and export as mpeg 2 the final film is now 9:48. The extra time is just blackness. What am I doing wrong?

HAve you checked your timelline at that index for a "stray frame"?
just aframe so maximize/zoomin to the timeline
In FCP X, activate the Project Timeline window and hit Shift+Z to ensure that all of your sequence is displayed. Post a screen shot of the entire window.

I just had this problem.. you probably (like i did) had a song that you trimmed at the end of the video
If so there is a black box on the timeline (above the audio) FCP thinks the video needs to be as long as the song.
Click the black boxes on the timeline and delete.. When you export you will notice that video is the correct lenght
This worked for me, hopefully works for you
Why is it when i export to mpeg 2 it adds on time to my movie?
