Personally I find it a. Informative, B. kind-a mandatory, C. Helpful to show the end result first. And to go on to explain/ teach how to achieve such a thing.
Best of luck.

OMG! Geeky. I recorded all the steps, however I think I'll save practice for a long winter night. Important concepts with applications for many projects. Thank-you.

Why can't I change the name of the GROUP that I add in latest AE?

Time to revisit your gears intro video.... it's obvious when it ends and restarts.
Best of luck.
