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?

There could be some subtle corruption in that project; the fact that it works correctly in the new one, where you pasted the content, suggests that may be the case. Did the duration shown above the timeline (next to the project name) match the end of the last clip, or does it correspond to those extra seconds?
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.
Thanks. I guess there was indeed some corruption in the project, and you found the right solution by copying and pasting to a new project.

Thanks, its just a minor issue when copying helps. Final Cut only has very few bugs - I had MUCH more issues with avid, premiere oder resolve..
