To remove gaps (empty spaces) between clips in iMovie, select one of the clips bordering the gap, which will prompt a menu to appear allowing you to close the gap.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
- Select a Clip: In your iMovie timeline, click on either the clip before the gap or the clip after the gap. This will select the clip and make it active.
- Close the Gap: iMovie should recognize the gap. In some versions, a "close gap" option might appear directly. If not, right-click (or control-click) on the selected clip. This should open a context menu.
- Choose "Close Gap": From the context menu, look for and select the option to "Close Gap." This action will remove the space between the selected clip and the adjacent clip, effectively joining them together.
- Add Transitions (Optional): After closing the gap, you might want to add a transition between the clips. You can find transitions in the iMovie toolbar, typically in a tab labeled "Transitions". Simply drag and drop your desired transition onto the join between the clips.
