Delete gaps between clips

When you delete space between clips in a Timeline, all clips in all unlocked tracks shift according to the duration of the gap. To prevent a track from shifting during a ripple delete (or any insert or extract edit), lock the track. Alternatively, turn off Sync Lock on those tracks that you don't want to shift.

 In a Timeline, do one of the following:
  • Right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) the gap between two clips, and choose Ripple Delete.

  • Select the gap between two clips, and choose Edit > Ripple Delete.

  • Select the gap between two clips, and press Delete.

  • To find more gaps in the sequence, see Find gaps in sequences and tracks.

    If the ripple delete command fails, you may need to lock tracks that contain confilicting clips along the edit point.

    To delete gaps between multiple clips, see this video tutorial by Ann Bens.
