I want to do a trigger which gives a cinematic when there are no units alive owned by a specific player in a region. I tried the count units in unit group condition but it didnt work. And doing conditions which check if a specific unit is alive would be a pain in the *** since there are lots of units in that region.

You may use a variable array to count in real time the number of units int the region for each player:

Map init > for every unit in region { if (unit owned by player x) unit_count[x] = unit_count[x]+1 }
Unit enters region (owned by player x) > unit_count[x] = unit_count[x]+1
Unit leaves region (owned by player x) > unit_count[x] = unit_count[x]-1
Unit dies (owned by player x, unit is in region) > unit_count[x] = unit_count[x]-1

or something like this

and after, you'll only have to check the variable value to lauch your cinematic

(and with this, you can also display a sort of countdown for each player)
