Premiere Elements 11 - Delete and Close Gap has stopped working?

Editing my music video. At 2:35:22 I can Delete and Close Gap OK but at the previous clip at 2:34:15 clicking on Delete and Close Gap will delete the video but won't close the gap! Any suggestions? It's Adobe Premiere Elements 11 and running Windows 8. Everything has been OK until now.

John
Thanks for the follow up. Glad that you completed your project successfully.
The Delete and Close Gap issue relates to what is above or below the place where you want to delete and
close gap. And, also as presented in the blog that I cited previously.
When you are forced to do the manual delete and close gap, the dangers reside in disturbing the existing
Timeline in doing so. For that we need to discuss the use of what are called keyboard modifiers as part of the move.
The following link may help in that regard. I present it for informational and not promotional purposes

Best wishes as you move forward with your Premiere Elements projects.

"Delete and close gap" stopped working

Another first: In one project, but not in others, "Delete and close gap" will only work if I delete complete clips. If I try to trim a clip, either in the Timeline, or in the Sceneline by trimming in-points or out-points in the mini-timeline under the Monitor screen, a gap created by trimming a scene does not close up.
Stranger still -- Trying another approach to trimming a particular clip, I split it, then tried to delete one of the two new clips using "Delete and close gap. It deleted the new clip but did not close the gap. The action created a black clip image in the Sceneline where the deleted clip had bin, and this new black clip image could not be deleted.
In the Timeline, it is possible to drag the following scenes over to close the newly-created gap, but it's time-consuming. It's a drag, so to speak.
I'm almost done editing the project in question and can complete it without solving this problem, but if I suffered a similar loss of the ability to trim clips in a longer project without creating gaps in the clip sequence, or if "Delete and close gap" failed to work on split clips, I would very much want to know why, and how to restore the lost ability.
Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Thanks, Robert -- You nailed it on your first guess. In this project, for the first time ever, I dragged an audio track to the Narration track. I know it's intended for narration that's recorded directly into PE, but I thought I'd see if I could use it as an extra track.
Also in this project, I've split the audio on the Soundtrack so it's non-continuous, with gaps in it, because I only need it in certain places. From your 2nd message, it's possible this could also be a/the cause of the problem.
I'll keep a close eye on my use of these tracks. In other projects, I have imported audio into the Soundtrack track without causing this problem, but those were continuous music tracks with no gaps.
Another lesson learned.
Thanks!

Adobe Premiere Elements 10 - Is there an alternative to 'delete and close gap?'

There are two scenes on the same track (not sure if they're called scenes, just not sure what else to call them), I want to put them right next to each other on the timeline, with no gap in between. If I use delete and close gap, everything in front of these two scenes will move as well. I don't want everything else to move, I only want to move the lone scene next to another scene. If I just try to drag it next to it, it'll either slice the scene in half if I don't drag it 100% perfectly next to it, or there will be a single frame of black space on the video. The only way I can successfully do this is if I zoom in and pain stakingly drag them precisely next to each other. Is there some way I can use something like 'delete and close gap' without making all the other tracks move as well? I think it might've been like ripple delete back in the older versions of Premiere if I remember correctly.

Whenever you are adding clips to the Timeline, try holding down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard to avoid disturbing the existing Timeline content including splitting of audio.
Have you tried right clicking the Timeline file for deletion and selecting "Delete" instead of "Delete and Close Gap" and then use the Alt modifier as you drag the clip(s) around with the mouse cursor?
Please give all that a look and let us know the outcome? But that Alt Key maneuver should work for you as it has for many others.
Thanks.

Delete and close gap problem

I have 2 project s on 1 [delete and close gap] no work why? on premiere element 12

djvalente
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated 12 to the 12.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
For your immediate issue...
Whether or not the command Delete and Close Gap works is typically dependent on the content above and below the
spot where you want to delete and close gap. Manual closing of the gap (with care) with the mouse cursor may be your way.
Please review the following details on how the Delete and Close Gap command can fail.

Delete and close gap doesn't

When I delete a clip the gap does not close. I held the shift ctrl key down one time and now the ripple effect seems to be off.
Michael

It's audio clips. My audio is separate from the video so that solves that problem. I managed to do a reasonable facsimilie of the Mary Tyler Moore credits for our parody video.It's not perfect, but it does the job.   Michael

Michael, The most common reason that gaps do not close, is that there is either an Audio Clip that "covers" the gap, or perhaps Video that does. Is either the case in your instance? Good luck, Hunt

"Delete and Close Gap" on Premier 13 will "delete" a photo but will not "close the gap". How do I correct this?

The area just goes dark in the finished product for the time that was there before and the gap remains.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
Many of these Delete and Close Gap failures can be traced to content that is directly above or below the area of interest.
Depending on the circumstances, you may be forced to select the clip or clips in a group and do a manual close gap
with the mouse.cursor.
Please review the following as one instance of Delete and Close Gap Failure.

If possible could you represent you Delete and Close Gap situation with a screenshot?

hi Andaleeb sorry to hijack Stephanie's thread!
I don't get any crash reports, it starts to open then just stops, nothing happens. ive tried getting in through the organiser but that doesn't work either.
I think my laptop is Windows 8 (its a fairly new laptop, does that sound about right?)
it was working Saturday I'm quite new to using it so no real workflow, just playing around with effects. ive only had it about a month
Thanks

I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected

I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected, i have tried shutting down and restartinf while holding down the trackpad, as recommended on some forums but that has done nothing
It might be a huge coincidence but the drive was working fine before i installed lion?

Installing Lion would not cause the superdrive to stop working. Are you unsure as to whether or no a cd/dvd is inside? Something may be broken inside and you should consider bringing it in for service.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Just downloaded itunes version 10 .2.2 and my iphone has stopped working. now showing fault on itunes asked to reinstall. Why has this happened?

just downloaded itunes version 10.2.2 + Qucktime and my ipohone has stopped working!
I am told there is a fault in my itunes software and I must reinstall.
Why has this happened, is there a fault with this new version?

Whilst I don't have an answer, I hope a knowledge specialist does.I've seen numerous posts like this.After 10.2 update I lost library and haven't been able to actually connect my iphone to itunes for the upgrade. Each time I connect the iphone my system crashes. There was NOTHING wrong with my itunes or system until the point of update. There doesn't seem to be support, despite the extent of this problem. My iphone seems to need an update as its overheating and battery life is a nanosecond. BEYOND FRUSTRATED! All input welcome.

I have only had my iphone 5s for two months and the charger has stopped working. Is there anyway that I can recieve another.

Out of the blue my iPhone 4S home button and notification centre has stopped working.

Out of the blue my iPhone 4S home button and notification centre has stopped working. I used the phone and switched it off. The next time I turned it on they weren’t working. The phone wasn’t dropped on banged around. – Any Ideas, Anyone??

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Have ALL of these steps been tried?
If you've been through ALL these steps and still have problems, you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
