Delete and close gap function does not work

Hi

I have a question, the " Delete and close gap function"  does not work.

See below screenshot.

If I right click on the gap then the function is gray.
When I trim a movie, the gap that is created is not filled automatically.
Who knows the solution? (otherwise I have to move all the clips 1 by 1).

Like to hear from you!

    Is there another clip in that area on a track not visible in the screen capture?

    I've never seen the timeline behave like it does in his video. Double-clicking on the gap should select the entire gap, not just the audio or video track gap. So maybe it's a Mac thing.

    Why didn't I think of that!  That's far more logical than what I came up with!

    Have you tried double-clicking on the gap to select it and then tried right-clicking and selecting Delete and Close Gap?

      Yes, I Tried it.

      But It the when I tried right-clicking (after cubble-clicking) then "delete en close gap"  is grey. See below movie-link (screen cap).

      Delete and Close gap has always worked for me so this is puzzling!

      Can you select the gap and press the Delete key?

      I see the orange render line above you timeline.  What are your project settings and what is the video source?
