Edit mode and finished mode are different

In FCPX timeline, the clips ends at 5.12.00. When I move my cursor it turns to the blank adjustment(with this L on the left side). I´m adjusting the song to the frame.
But after sharing the movie, the clips doesn´t end until aprox. 5.12.30, or something. It certainly doesn´t end 5.12.00. WHY?

Hey Neguah,
you probably have a blank clip at the end that should be removed? Maybe you can post a screenshot of your timeline for further examination?

I can´t figure out why it´s on the second in my timeline, but after sharing it´s not. Doesn´t make sense. Have gone through my timeline, and there´s no blank clips. Only at the end, but it´s camouflaged with a "fade to color".

Are you editing with optimized footage? I mean, did you hook "optimize media" on import or later?

No, I´m not using optimized media, I´m only hook proxy. Optimized takes to much space.
Does this time difference happen when using optimized media?

I don't know very much about the technical side of this but have heard that some codecs are not as good for precise editing as others. So my suggestion would be to try and optimize at least the one clip that is troubling you - or the one before and after the edit point. Maybe it helps - and if it doesn't just trash that optimized media again.

On a side note: if optimized media takes too much space go and buy a bigger drive. Sounds like you're running out of space anyway which might cause really weird system behavior. Drive space is cheap - and it's especially cheap in comparison to all the hassle you might run into when space gets low...

Of course, I can always by another drive.

What codec? Codec from my camera when transferring? Or codec when sharing?
It looks like the different is growing throughout the film.

To in to Preferences and verify what you have the timecode format set to?

I did not get that. Can you please explain better?

I can ad that I shoot in 1080p, but edit in 720p. Does that have anything to do with the difference?

And can you also tell me why FCPX says that the file is 655mb when sharing, and when I look at info of the finished file(QuickTime) it says its just below 300mb? Is it shrinking?

The codec you originally shot in might be hard to edit. Please try optimized media and tell us if that makes a difference in the output.

I optimized the clip before the blank adjustment. Didn´t help.
However, there´s almost no difference before this clip, and the only difference is seconds. The blank adjustment fits perfectly to my music.

Just check out my tread in "Made in Final Cut Pro". Have postet the film there.

Where did this media originally come from, what camera make and model?

What is that "Blank Adjustment" clip actually? Is that an "Adjustment Layer" clip? Why would it be sitting in the primary storyline instead of a gap clip?


This is what I was asking about originally.

Timecode is the first one.

It comes from Canon 5D mk3.

Gap clip?
I needed both an adjustment and a black clip. Therefor a adjustment layer.
