Title was confusing, but I'll do my best to explain.
I'm editing a 38 hour long video and have many small clips that are majorly split apart, and I obviously don't want to drag them together one by one. Any way I can just press a button and they'll all connect end-to-end? I'm using Vegas Pro 13.
Save the text below to a file in Notepad. Name it RemoveAllGapsAndOverlaps.js. Put it in your scripts folder, which will probably be C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 13.0\Script Menu or C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 13.0\Script Menu. Then run it from your Tools > Scripting menu.
/**
* Program:
* Description: This script deletes empty space between events,

* on all tracks.

You can select a multiple fragments and then move them in one drag.
There are many ways to select multiple fragments. You can use multiple Ctrl + LMB (Left Mouse Button) to select/deselect, LMB on the first fragment then Shift + LMB on the last fragment, Selection Edit Tool and/or combine methods mentioned earlier, etc.
