Close All Gaps

[tloganenterprises@gmail.com]

Is there a way to close all gaps in Premiere Elements 2022? I have a lot of gaps I'd like to close at one time. I ended up creating all these gaps in my editing process. Does this process make sense
1. Load all videos in correct order on the timeline (50 or so clips)
2. Press 'Play' and watch videos
3. Press Cut at any point(s) to surround parts I'd like to keep
4. Drag video I want to delete to another track - still in exact time slot
5. Play entire video again (all tracks) to verify I've kept and deleted correctly
6. Delete all clips on track I don't want to keep
7. Close all gaps in remaining clips (**** This is where I'm doing them one at a time)
8. Delete unused tracks

The short answer is no. There is no one-click way to ripple all of the clips together to fill in the gaps between them.

Though I'm not sure if your workflow is really the most efficient. If you didn't move your edited clips to other tracks and you just keep all of your editing on Video 1, you wouldn't have any gaps to fill in. The program will automatically fill in gaps every time you make an edit.
