easy way to remove gaps in vegas 9?
I searched high and low for a method to remove a gap (blank space between events) on a track but to no avail.
I can easily do this in FCP. How do I do it in Vegas?
Thanks

You can just doubleclick on a gap and press delete.
There is also a free script for this, made by a certain Philip, that will remove all gaps on the selected track. This script works in Vegas 8 pro. I have never tried this script in Vegas 9, but I will include it as attachment so that you can try.

Turn on Ripple Edit (Ctrl+L) and move the event next to it to close the gap. The entire timeline will follow based on your Ripple Edit options (affected tracks, markers, etc.).
Then turn off Ripple Edit.

Thanks John,
I knew about this method but I’m looking for something that can be accomplished faster, without reaching for the mouse to move the 2nd event. LIke, selecting the region in the gap (dbl click) and pressing some shortcut key like ctrl-x.

thanks theo, I’ll give this a whirl.
Surprised there isn’t’ something built into Vegas. Seems like elementary stuff.

Gilles, double-click the blank region to highlight it and press Ctrl+Shift+F.
This is know as a Post Edit Ripple for “all Tracks, Markers and Regions”. -
Actually, double-click the region as Mike said and then press Del to delete the gap (which looks like it does nothing) and THEN press Ctrl+Shift+F to post ripple. You have to press delete in order for the post ripple to work.
