Difference in Duration between edit and m4v file

Difference in Duration between edit and m4v file was created by fguguen
I have a project that is timed at 52min47sec but once the file is exported it shows as being 52min50sec long.
If I open the file in QuickTime it also shows the duration as 52min50.
But if I open the file back in FCPX it will show as 52min47.
It's important for me that the rendered file is precisely 52min47 long.
I suspect this is something to do with fps but I'm not sure how I can readdress that issue now.
Would be grateful for any tip on how I can get the rendered file to be the same duration as the original project.
