Description

A user is trying to share data between two matinee actors. After creating a new Interp Data and creating a matinee for it, I add some animation to one of the two cameras in a camera group. I then add the Matinee data again to the scene and open up matinee associated with the second group. After replacing group actors with selected actors for the cameras I close matinee. I open up the the first matinee data and the animation persists. After closing the first matinee and opening up the second data the groups and animation did not persist.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open new project.
  2. In the Content browser right click. Select miscellaneous > Matinee Data
  3. Add the Matinee Data to the scene
  4. In the main viewport go to matinee and open a matinee associated with the matinee data previously added.
  5. Add two new cameras
  6. In the first camera on the movement timeline add some movement and key frame it.
  7. Close Matinee
  8. Drag the Matinee data from the content browser into the scene creating a new data actor.
  9. Open up Matinee again, this time associated with the second data actor.
  10. Click on the First camera in the viewport.
  11. In matinee for your first camera right click on camera.
  12. Go to Actors > Replace Group Actors with selected Actors
  13. Click on the second camera in the viewport and repeat the previous two steps with the second Camera in the group.
  14. Close Matinee
  15. Open Matinee with first Matinee Data associated.
  16. Observe the animation persists.
  17. Close Matinee
  18. Open Matinee with second data associated.
  19. Notice grouping is gone and upon pressing play no animation is observed.
