There is another workflow question I ran into when working with hundreds of clips after cutting a long video. After deleting the unwanted parts, I ended up with around 780–800 clips and a lot of empty spaces between them.
To close the gaps, I’ve been using the Spacer Tool, but it requires moving every clip manually. And every time I move one clip, all clips after it are moved as well. When the number of clips grows, this becomes slower and slower, because each move affects more clips. With hundreds of clips this becomes very time-consuming, especially since performance degrades the more clips are on the timeline.
I know there are functions like Remove Space and Remove Space in All Tracks, but they seem to only remove the gap where the playhead is positioned, not all gaps in the rest of the sequence (or at least I don’t know how to make it work that way).
So my question is:
Is there a way to remove all gaps between clips that follow the playhead?
If such a function already exists, I would be very happy to learn about it. If not, could this be considered expected behavior, or maybe there is a recommended workflow for this?
In my case, closing the gaps one by one is extremely time-consuming — for example, I had a 1.5-hour video cut into exactly 780 pieces, and moving each clip individually becomes slower as more clips are involved. A function that removes all gaps would save a huge amount of time.
