The mute button is on the left side of the timeline. There will be one for each track. Just mute the cam audio when you render and it will not be present in the new file. Pictures are good for gaps. (think slideshow). It looks good if you change them every 5 seconds or so. So you'll need a few depending on the gap length. I like to time the change with a change in the music.

Another option is to use a place in the video that you can reuse. For instance. You may be able to clip a crowd shot in and blend it where you don't know it came from another place in the video. Unless there is something really identifiable about the shot you can probably repeat the shot and not notice. So the video pans to the crowd show where you gap is. Does that make sense? Yes you would synch the second part just like the first one.

GOOD LUCK. It's really not hard when you get to it. It just takes a lot of words to describe what you can do in two seconds.
