How to remove a gap between clips

I have all my clips loaded into my timeline.
While reviewing the final project, I noticed the screen goes dark briefly between 2 clips near the beginning.
I zoomed in and it looks like when I originally loaded the second clip, it didn't snap-to the previous clip, leaving a blank space between them.
I thought I could ripple delete the blank gap, which I would prefer, because there are a lot of clips before and after the gap in the sequence and I don't want to have to manually move them all and risk creating new gaps. But ripple delete is always grayed out in the Edit menu.
So I thought maybe something has to be there to delete, so I created a color matte to put in there, but ripple delete is still grayed out.
I tried to Google an answer, but I only found methods for ripple deleting multiple gaps (that's where I got the idea of using a color matte), or deleting gaps in conversation from a video clip (as opposed to blank gaps in the timeline).
What am I doing wrong?

Are you zoomed in all the way down to frame level? Use the + key to zoom into the area you want to work on. You should certainly be able to mark and extract as little as one frame
EDIT - you and I posted at the same time earlier and I did not see you post about the +1 and -1 situation, which has me confused. Can you perhaps post a screen shot of the area in question so I can understand what the issue is? Perhaps instead of removing the video gap, you could just duplicated one frame of adjacent video, since it seems that the audio needs to remain?
Thanks

How to remove the gap between OA standard footer & footnote image

Hi,
I have added OAF footnote image through page customization that appears just above the standard footer. now there is little space between standard footer and footnote image should be removed i.e standard footer and footnote image should be merged. I tried to increase the item propert height to 100% but no luck. Can anybody has any thoughts how to remove this?

It seems the difference is the default 8px margin on the body element, which only appears the first page. To remove it on a case-by-case basis, you could use a bookmarklet (a snippet of script you run by clicking a bookmark entry).
To remove it automatically on every page, you could use a style rule in userContent.css or in a Stylish rule. I haven't tested this rule very extensively, but something like this:
@media print{
body {margin-top:0 !important;}
}

Is there a way to insert a specific gap between clips? (CS4)

I am trying to insert a 3 second gap in between about 15 clips on a timeline. I could do it manually, but it is sort of a pain. How can I insert a standard gap between clips?

I know of no semi-automatic way to do this--it's going to be some degree of manual work, whichever way you slice it. But this might help make it a little faster:
Drop all of your clips, end to end, in your sequence.
Switch to the Track Select tool; I believe the default shortcut is "A", but I might have changed that.
With the Track Select tool active, click on the second clip in your sequence to select it and all clips after it.
Using the numeric keypad on your keyboard, type in "+300" for three seconds, or whatever time duration you need, and hit the Enter key on the keypad. All of the selected clips will be moved forward in time three seconds. This will leave a gap of three seconds between the first clip and the group of following clips.
Go back to step #3 and repeat this as often as necessary to create the gaps. You should be able to mow through them pretty quickly in this fashion.

How do I delete space between clips in the timeline.

I am adding several hundred photo's to the timeline. When I add them as a group, the the duration of each photo differs. I select a group of photo's, change the duration to 4.00 seconds and the clips change to 4 seconds but then there is a large space between each clip. Is there a way to select a group of clips in the timeline and have them connect to each other? How can I remove the space between clips?
Thanks for your help.

What you are describing happens when you have the position tool selected.
Hit 'A' to make sure you are using the select tool (also known as the 'Arrow' tool, hence the 'A' shortcut).
Unfortunately, your screenshots do not show which tool is active, but I am pretty convinced that that is your problem. Like Russ said, their look pretty similar to each other. But they work very differently.
Here is a picture showing the arrow tool (in blue):
And here is one with the Position tool (again, in blue):

How do I define gap between tracks in playlists?

how do I define gap between tracks in a playlist in iTunes? (So that the gaps will be a part of the playlist after syncronizing to an iPhone.)
This is for tracks imported from LogicPro, not ripped from a CD.
Thanks for answer

Since iTunes has no such feature, the way to do it is to create short tracks of silence. Add them to your iTunes library, and insert them as separators between other tracks in the playlist. You can use the same track multiple times in the same regular playlist.
I have not used Logic Pro, but I am fairly sure it can be used to create a short track of silence.

How do I make transitions between clips smooth?

how do I make transitions between clips smooth? Right now, when I play my video in imovie, the clips freeze or jump between clips.

Have you tried sharing the final movie using the Share menu, or, alternatively use FILE/FINALIZE PROJECT?
The final product shouldn't have any lag. iMovie itself should not have any lag, but could depending on your Memory and hard disk configuration.

How do I remove a gap between table rows in InDesign?

I need help in figuring out how to remove gaps between table rows. I have tried Table Spacing under Table Set-up, but it doesn't work.
Here's what I'm working on:
As you can see there are gaps above the first row and below last row under the header Business Management Technology. I cannot select that gap. How do I remove it, so that the first class, 31058, is flush with the black header? (and the last class, 32675, is flush with the Chemistry header?)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah

I hadn't considered that, and your example is proof-of-concept. However, now that you made me look closer, I still don't think that's the OP's case, seeing as the text in the OP's header rows appears to span more than one column, belying what I suppose must be merged cells.* The column strokes in the "gap" appear to disqualify it (the gap) as part of a row with merged cells.
*There is still another possibility that someone "made pictures" of tables with merged cells by overlaying text frames to make the header rows. I've run across all kinds of such "carpentry;" especially when the file may have originated at the desk of someone who avoids or resists use of tables. They find ways to fake them and/or their features.

Getting Rid Of A Gap Between Clips In The Timeline

A gap has appeared between clips in my timeline. I can delete, re-organise the clips but the gap remains. How can I remove this please ?
(and how can it happen?)
Ron

Sometimes I get what seems to be a gap but it's actually a glitch in the way the clip has renedered for FC. The original media is always fine so I trash the rendered clips (which is a menu command) and all is well. Best of luck!

Hi-In Script Editor how can we maintan gap between words in one line

Hi,
Can any body help on how to maintain gap between words in same line?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
is it a Hard-coded text or a variable text.
If its a constant & Hard coded text then u can directly maintain by using space bar.
if its a variable text just define a paragraph format with Tab positions as per ur requirement of space..
Hope it helps!!

Gaps between clips on the timeline

I wonder if there is a way to gain control of moving clips on the timeline. If I grab a video clip on the timeline and drag it left, it bumps the adjacent clip and moves it left. If I haven't let go of the mouse and move the held clip back towards the right, the clip I bumped doesn't go back to its original position. If I leave the held clip where I dropped it, there is now a gap, which looks bad and can mess with the playback in iMovie.
I would like a way to drag clips so that they butted up to the adjacent clip without moving it. I would also like a way to remove any gaps in one fell swoop.
I am relatively new to the app: but to remove a gap, the only (lame) way I can see to fix it is to manually move each clip to the right of the gap. But because the clips that I would bump can move, that screws up everything. There must be a better way.
thanks,
Jim

Catspaw's solution is a good way to remove all the gaps. Note that to see the gaps represented as "Black" clips (instead of gaps) you must view the Timeline in Clips mode. Click on the little rectangle icon above the left end of the Timeline.
Gaps disappear as you describe when you've previously added a gap by dragging a clip to the right. Creating that gap was probably a mistake, so losing it isn't usually a problem. If the gap appeared when you moved a clip right, the Edit > Undo Move command lets you undo that move.
If you created the gap intentionally -- to serve as a placeholder for a clip you want to add later -- you can make it "permanent" by changing its color from black to some other color. (With the timeline in Clip mode, double-click on the "Black" clip to change its color.) Now the gap won't disappear as you drag clips towards it.
All dragging functions are made easier by turning on these two features in iMovie preferences: 1) Snap to items in Timeline and 2) Play sound effects when snapping. When you drag a clip it's a lot more likely to land where you want it.

How to give vertical gap between the cells of list components?

Hi All,
I have a list component
var theList:List = new List();
theList.dataProvider = new DataProvider(listArray);
theList.rowHeight = 93;
theList.rowCount = 4;
theList.setStyle('cellRenderer',ChoosePanelListCell);
how can i specify vertical gap between the cells of List??
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!

If I am not mistaken, you will need to open up the skin file of you list component from the library and then add the padding according to your needs. Have a look at this link:

How to remove extract space between pages in smartform without changing output

Hello Experts,
I've been given a requirement where I need to remove extra space between pages of a smartform (refer to the attachment). If you look at the following screen shot then you will notice that that there is a command provided to display details on these pages which has a checkbox 'Go to New Page'.
When I removed the above New Page comment then still I don't see the expected output (Refer to the attached screen shot 'Expected' to see what I need).
Also there is another there is another New Page command (as shown below).
When I tried to removed the above New Page Command then output was totally changed which user don't want (as shown below. Table should have been break on BCVI on red line, which happens today but with so much extra space).
To view the correct output how user want please have a look at 'Expected' screen shot.
Now the question is what change I should make in my smartform to accomplish the expected output.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello,
I think that it should work, this construction of an loop node including all relevant items and at the event TAB event sort field only these items are copied in the OUTPUT_TAB which should be printed in a separate table on the form. After having printed the table, the content of the internal table is cleared.
I suppose that you first should check if this TAB "event sort field" includes the correct criteria for the necessary group change. If this event is really defined correctly, then I only have one hint for you.
I know that the only possibility to define a page break in a table in the Window MAIN is to use the following technique:
Define an outside loop node and in this loop node a table node, but this table does not have a internal table to be looped through. It includes only the fields to be printed, maybe you have to re-design your table node.
By the way only then you can define a command node including a page break during the processing of an internal table.

Juergen
