How do I quickly removes spaces between multiple clips?

[RexRed]

I have a lot of clips where I have cut spaces between them (sections that I don't need). Is there a way to select them all and have the spaces removed quickly with a single command? I don't want them merged, just the spaces between them quickly removed and the clips sandwiched together yet still separate clips.

A couple of caveats when using this. There can't be any other content on tracks above or below it, I think even if those tracks are locked. You can also use In/Out points to specific the area that you want to close the gaps, otherwise it will default to the entire timeline.

Also note: the keyboard shortcut on there is one that I defined, not a default, but you can bind that command to whatever you like if you use it often.

It worked like a charm! Saved me a lot of time as well!

Glad it worked. It's a good little thing to know. I used to have some funky workflows to accomplish the same thing when this was probably under my nose the whole time.
