Title:
  Suggestion: collapse clips to "fill" gaps and automove clips to insert
  new

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  
   Hi.

   This is not a bug, it's a suggestion, but I don't know how to
  classify it as "wishlist" / "suggestion".

   The main problem in OpenShot is removing and adding new clips in the
  beginning/middle of the timeline when your project has grown, as you
  end moving manually all clips or counting "duration" to use the "Shift
  clips" tool to move them with offset.

  1. REMOVING CLIPS:

   Currently I check clip properties, write down in a paper the
  Duration, and use the "Shift Clips" feature with -duration (negative
  value) to move all clips back in time and fill the gap, but it would
  be very nice to have the option to "autocollapse" clips to fill gaps:

  [CLIP1].....[CLIP2][CLIP3].....[CLIP4]

  (You click in AUTOCOLLAPSE)

  [CLIP1][CLIP2][CLIP3][CLIP4]

   This way you can happily remove clips and rearrange the timeline
  automatically. If you need to insert a new clip,

  2.- ADDING CLIPS:

   Currently I check the new clip properties, write down in a paper the
  Duration, and use the "Move Clips" feature with +duration to leave gap
  for the clip, and then I move it.

   It would be nice to have an option to add an item to the timeline
  automatically moving all the clips in that point after or before it.

   Besides those 2 suggestions, if you also correct the following bugs,
  Openshot would be almost perfect, surely the best video editor
  available in Linux:

   Please, keep the GOOD work.

   A release adding / correcting the previous 4 features / bugs would be
  highly celebrated :-)

   Thanks!
