Gap Delete removes empty space in your timeline so clips automatically snap together. Instead of manually dragging clips, you can delete gaps with a single click.
Async Creator offers two types of Gap Delete: clip-level and segment-level.
Clip-level Gap Delete (single track)
Removes empty space on one track only. Clips on that track shift left to close the gap.
How to use it:
Hover over an empty space between clips on a track.
Click the trash icon that appears.
Segment-level Gap Delete (entire timeline)
Removes empty space across all unlocked tracks at once, keeping all clips perfectly in sync. A segment gap exists only if all tracks are empty at the same time.
How to use it:
Hover over an empty segment in the timeline.
When the vertical highlight appears, click the trash icon.
