Switching video clips with gaps quickly on the time line
This is going to be a question that I hope someone can answer which will speed up my editing. I make short, less than 60 second videos. The project starts with the entire audio file created which I'll drop into the timeline. Next, I hit option + w and stretch the gap the length of the audio file, placing the audio file under it. Now I'll find video and image files that match the audio and I'll put each on top of the gap until I have the entire audio file matching a video/image. I'll cut the gap to fit each video/image length, and then I'll put the cut gap over and drop down the new video/image. Then it's a matter of moving the video file down and dragging my audio over from the gapped clip.
My hope is that there's a way to switch a gap that's been cut the width of a video/image file, and then swap it on the timeline in one quick step. I've included an image that shows this process: a gap and a video file that I want to swap.
If there's a better way to do this or a quick switch which will automatically move my audio from the gap to the video file, switching the gap and video/image in the process, I'd be very happy to know it.
Thank you!
