Apple Motion 5 Playback way to fast

Hi, i have a strange problem with motion 5. I do Kids animation in Motion 5 with multiple psd files. If i do an animation, lets say a walk from left to right in 3 sec and i export the clip (uncompressed 4:2:2 - 8bit) and import it to FCPX the walk is much slower in Final cut. If i measure the time while playback it seems way to fast. 3 seconds in motion are 1.5 sec in real time.

All projects are in 25p as well in motion, as well in fcpx.

What is wrong?

Thank you.

Motion 5, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

I've never seen Motion do this. I'd like to see a screen shot verifying the project duration. Then a screen shot in FCPX verifying the clip duration there.

Go into Motion > Preferences > Time. Make sure to check : Limit playback speed to project frame rate. If unchecked, the "brakes" are off and Motion will top out at 60fps (if the project allows.) When unchecked, and a slow project, you can sometimes squeeze a few extra fps out of Motion.
