How to remove gaps between clips when copying iMovie projects?

So I wanted to copy and paste a chunk of my iMovie project to a new movie, but these mysterious 'Gap' clips appear between each clip when I do it. Is there a way to get rid of them, and is there a way to make sure they never come back?

iMovie Projects Window - Choosing Which Clip to Display Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to select a specific clip to be displayed in the iMovie Projects window? At the moment it seems to select a random part of my project and I would to select a specific point in the movie. I've attached a picture of the window I'm referring to incase my description isn't clear. It's the image in the boxes which I wish to have control over. Many thanks for your help, Stophen.

How can we remove unused clips from Final Cut X? If you take a single media file, i.e. IMG_7687.mov and you drag it to a project timeline, then you cut some of the footage out, each unused section of that original media becomes an 'unused' clip. When I filter by 'unused' I would expect to see all media that I've imported that has not been used yet, but that's not what I see. I see all unused clips of the same media file. All of my deleted footage has become unused clips and I want to eliminate them so I can easily find actual media I haven't used yet.
