stitch with an automatic small overlap

I need to recreate a video that I didn't receive as a complete video but as many short snippets, each one 30 seconds long. So I load them into Vegas, with quantize off so that they are adjacent to each other. When I run this series of snippets in the editor, I notice that there is a tiny audio gap between each of them although the videos have no gaps between them.

Maybe the sound is almost but not quite synced with the images. The sync difference is so small that I don't notice it while watching but - the final moment of each snippet is silent, just a fraction of a second. When stitching the snippets together, there is a tiny silent moment in music and speech at the end of each one, like a glitch that is audible.

Is there a way to automatically push all snippets together a little bit (the same amount each, maybe a 10th of a second) so that they overlap? that would take care of the silent moment. I could do that manually but can it also done per command somehow?

I use VASST Event Tool. Works. Others will have their own recommendations.

You could try this and drag all the files together to the timeline.

It's simple and easy to do.

I had assumed editing had already been executed? Could be wrong.

You can trim the end of each event and close the gaps with the Trim Captured Clips script. Adjust the number of frames you want to trim by editing the numbers in the script.

Quantize should ALWAYS be on when editing video. It does not concern audio.
