There are two types of gaps:
 Track gaps: These are empty spaces between two clips in the same track.
 Gaps: These are track gaps that occur in every single track of your sequence.
To find gaps in a sequence:

beginning. Otherwise, you can look for gaps to the right or left of the playhead’s
current position.

 Choose Mark > Next, then choose Gap from the submenu (or press Shift-G).
 Choose Mark > Previous, then choose Gap from the submenu (or press Option-G).
The playhead moves to the beginning of the first gap found to the right or left of
the playhead.
