Looking for a feature: Moving all clips to 0 (if there is empty space before)

[Bed30321077z973]

Hello,

I am looking to a way to move all clips inside a track, all together, to the beginning in case there is empty space; for example:

we start with

and we move all 3 selected clips to the beginning without altering their disposition:

They are just SHIFTED.

And without necessarily altering other tracks. ALTHOUGH If this feature exists and it moves every item from all tracks, I can work with it aswell.

Hope it exists! I don't want to move them by hand I'd rather click on some menus to do it.

Select all : Sequence > close gap.

Edit: outcome depends on what is also on the timeline.

(Edit: Sequence close gap does not do I want unfortunately it closes ALL gaps aven after the first clip)

My bad I looked at that menu and did not see that option (there are so many things).

You are indeed an expert thank you. Additional question (I was going to make a post about it but if you have the answer I won't), do you know how to select all clips from one single track without having to use the mouse and making a rectangle around them? Maybe some shortcut?

EDIT: it seems that's not the right option hence your edit.

Shift Forward Track Selection.

@Ann Bens  Hey, sorry I don't understand this last bit, what does it mean shirt forward track selection?

[Ann Bens · Accepted solution]

Select Track Select Forward tool and hold down shift for moving clips on one track.

Got the name of the tool a bit muddled up.

Thanks, yes I saw it on later on, its a pretty powerful tool!

One last thing I would love to have it eiher tell Premiere to ignore everything behind the first clip (so it does not make a video that start with black screen that has no sound) or be able to crop that (like the close gap do but only the beginning) if you find that , that would be awesome method to have in hand
