How to remove all holes between clips in Premiere

Adobe Premiere has a handy one-click feature that removes all the holes between clips. By default it is without a hotkey, which is very useful for synchronizing your

for youtube videos.

Assign a hotkey to the Close Gap function:

1. Go to the keyboard settings [SHIFT+ALT+K]. In the search find the function Close Gap and assign it to any button, I assigned it [ALT+G]

⁠

Older versions of Adobe Premiere did not have this feature. You had to remove the holes as follows:

Project - New Item - Adjustment layer or File - New Item - Adjustment layer

⁠

2. Placing the Adjustment layer on Track2

⁠

3. Select Track1. To do this, use the Track select forward tool [A]. By default, the selection works for all tracks. To select only one track, press [SHIFT].

⁠

4. Move the selected frames to Track2 [ALT + ↑]

⁠

5. Cut the Adjustment layer and return the selected frames to Track1 [ALT + ↓]

⁠

6. Highlight Track2 [A], [SHIFT] and delete [DEL+SHIFT]
