I wrote a script last year for someone in the forum that removes gaps on any track that has been named, i.e., a track for which you have typed something into the track name header. If the track doesn't have a name, then no gaps are removed on that track.

I also have another script, which you can pick up over at VASST, which will "audit" your project and flag all events that either have really small gaps or really small overlaps. The definition of "really small" can be changed in the script, but is usually set to 3-4 frames on the theory that such a small gap or overlap is seldom something you really intended to do.

Anyway, here's the remove gap script:

try

{



  // step through all selected video events:

  for (var track in Vegas.Project.Tracks) {



    if( track.Name == undefined) {

      continue;

    }



    var tracktime = track.Events.Item(0).Start;



    for (var evnt in track.Events) {



        evnt.AdjustStartLength(tracktime,evnt.Length,false);

        tracktime = tracktime + evnt.Length;



    }

  }



}



catch (errorMsg)

{

MessageBox.Show(errorMsg, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);

}
