All My cuts are not on frame boundaries, is there a way to fix them

I have been editing a multicam video, all the cameras shot in 23.98 and project in 23.98.

I was going through the final touches and realized that one of my cuts was not on a frame boundary. I turned on the option to show where they are not on frame boundary, and it shows a red line at the beginning and ending of each cut. If I use vegasaur to quantize all to frame boundaries, It does that for all of them, but it leaves a one frame empty between each cut. Now it seems I have to manually go in (3 hour stage play) and extend each clip by one frame.

1. How did this happen, and 2. Is there a way to globally fix it?

Thanks

Quantize to Frame was probably not enabled when doing your original edit. It should ALWAYS be Enabled. There is never a reason to disable Quantize To Frame. I know Vegasaur has an option to remove spaces (frames) between events but I don't know that it can extend each scene 1 frame. you might look thru the options and see.

Also Snapping must be enabled when you first load media into the project.

I had quantize to frame turned on when I started the project, but did not have snapping turned on at the beginning, that must have been the problem.

Thanks for your help. So far, vegasaur in the auditor finds all the spaces, but to remove it, it slides the clip left. I will just find them and manually extend them.

Thank you @mark-y and @DMT3
