Reverse the blade tool (merge clips together) I'm trying to make a transition to Final Cut Pro X from iMovie. Although I'm finding it quite simple and I'm in love with the more advanced features such as how easy keying is, I seem to have a problem I'm not sure how to get around.

I want to be able to "undo" the blade tool, in effect merging clips together. How can I do this?

I'm aware of the compound clip feature, but that lacks the "I'm done here, move on" feeling I get from a clip that doesn't have a bunch of visible edits to it.
If that's a cut within the same clip, you can move the right edge of the first clip to the end of the second clip, to restore the formerly length. 
If you want to combine different clips to make some pivotal changes or append centrical effects. You have to create a compound clip.
If it was a cut within one clip, you can simply undo it. But i hope you know that.


I dont' know what you mean with "I'm-done-here-move-on-feeling", but a typical project has hundreds and thousands cuts. That's absolutely normal.
