Hey is there a way to Copy two or more clips and Paste them in timeline all together without the space/gap that was between them ?

I usually preselect clips on the timeline away from my edit and then Paste whatever I like in the middle of the edit or near where I want them. would be so amazing if premiere can paste without the gaps

I do not believe there is a way to do this. When you copy two clips in a sequence, the copy retains the distance between these two clips; thus pasting the gap. Hopefully this is accurate information!

Copy/paste is what it is.

You paste exactly what you have copied.

How would you tell Premiere to drop the gaps.

Delete the gap before copying.

Yes ann. thanks I understand. But we do have different kind of paste.

Like "Paste insert" in premiere or Paste in place in illustrator.

is all about funtionality, I love premiere but there is something missing there, for example it doesn't have a delete gap function like others editing softwares,

I'm wondering how many people use timelines as an auxiliar for edits... you can quickly check footage then preselect into another track or even organize by tracks in timeline. then you just copy and paste into the timeline where you are editing. That's my workflow for more than 15 years. But of course deleting the gaps is not a quick task in premiere. I got some tricks to do it fast but still it requires to create a color matte and three or four shortcuts
