I ended up using a macro to split the clip, go back to the previous clip, delete it, and skip ahead to the rest of the clip. If there is a simpler way to set the clip start to the cursor please let me know so I can free up my macro button to use for another purpose. Thanks!
…replying to your own post is like giving yourself a highfive. HA

OK. well, good luck on your comet project. Thanks!

Very nice. just a heads up, I created a comet as a 3D animation major in college and the science profs informed me that comets actually have 2 tails. One is a fiery particle trail following the movement of the comet and the other is an icy blue tail (vaporized by the sun’s radiation) beaming away from the sun as it passes.

Yes, the bump map should apply to the background pic. I am unfamiliar with PI. what is it?
-
Ultimate S can! I used it in my process for years.

Another option for lighting your scene with the movement of the comet…Add FX Sony Bump Map with the spotlight setting > Set bump height to 0 and use Location>Destination to track the movement of the comet and light the scene as it flies past. Use the clock button to “animate” the motion with keyframes as it moves past.
To create the comet, instead of drawing a comet shape, you may consider using a generated media (keyframe x movement) along with linear blur to create a particle trail behind a firey comet. I recommend trying the cloud cover generated media as a start and potentially add some starry sky (for highlight particles) as well. The key is to create the movement like you would see with particles coming off of a comet. I have made several comets over the years and have found this to be a valid option. -
Looks to me like they are filming through a stained glass window. To simulate this effect in post editing…the only thing I could think would be to use parented multiple tracks, generated colors, event masks, blur effects (of different settings) and parent track motion to move it across the subject.

That’s what I needed Phil thanks. The trim option on the timeline has sped up my process considerably.

OK thanks Steve. I worked on it this afternoon and came up with a new way that cut out some steps.
Set In and out points
Press R for region (repeat)
Use vegasaurs “keep inside region” function to delete all unwanted extras.
Thank you vegasaur! -

it would help if I could select the loop region
then reset the events beginning and end points to the loop region in/out points.Does anyone know how to make that happen?
