why is the Osmo creating a couple seconds gap between clips if i film over 7min? its creating a major issue with editing

Please check the size of the clips in SD card, are they almost 4G?
If so, this is how the SD card works, when the size arrives 4G, it will stop and begin to record again automatically after 2-3 seconds.

That's a limitation on the Osmo, which will be probably never be fixed. It doesn't record in the time between closing down a file and starting a new one.

you mean video and audio gap?
