I don't see any video attached. Maybe you could upload it somewhere
and share? Just want to confirm what you call the gaps in video

Are you sure that the hardware you are using to run motion can keep up with
the video resolution/rate that you have?
run "top -H" and see how much cpu each motion thread is using. If any
single thread is 90% that would be an indication that a single thread
handling a single camera cannot keep up. Also view the %cpu line at the
top, and see if there is any idle time ("##.# id,"). if there is little
idle time then you also cannot keep up.
Lowered resolution and/or framerate at the camera will reduce the amount of
cpu needed.

event_gap doesn't tell the application how long to record. It tells the app
how long to wait after an event ends before completely ending the event.
pre and post captures tell the application how many frames before and after
an event to record.
