Grouped objects - Adding/Removing objects to a group

Hello all! This is my first time posting in any of the forums but I am so excited I just can't hide it.  I sat here for 3 hours reading threads and testing a template I am using from this site to add a video to an existing group without losing all the triggers.  I had the same issue after reading and trying the different ideas shared on these threads. I figured out the "workaround" to the missing feature to copy and paste or move elements freely in and out of existing groups without losing your triggers!

Here is how I was able to do it (thanks to combining various tips I read on this thread). 

1. I opened the group I wanted to add the video (or object) to.  I copied all of the elements within the group.

2.  Pasted the elements into the timeline.  Now there is the original group and the copied ones as individual elements.

3. Create new group from the pasted elements and now include the video (or shape etc) that you wanted to add.

4. If there are triggers and animations, go to the Animation tab, select the original group and click Animation Painter

5.  Paste the animation to the new group you created

6.  Edit the triggers to link to the new group and updated in my case, the line motion path.   Keep in mind, the copied animation motion path was assigned a new numerical value, however, it is the exact same line motion as the original group.  SAVE

7.  Now you can either hide or delete the original group.  I suggest only hiding it so you won't lose the original triggers/animation.

I really hope this helped.  This project is due tomorrow and I made promises to add videos to the template that I was thinking I was going to have to break..until now.
