Alembic Animation Issues

Hello,

I am having trouble with getting the alembic files to work in UE5. I have imported into my scene and placed it in the sequencer and it looks fine but when I compile the scene, it looks like the animation is playing before I tell it to start.

The first video is the screen share with the animation working as intended.

The second video is when I compile in movie legacy.

I have tried reimporting it with different settings, changing settings in the geometry cache, etc I am really not sure what is going on.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

If your alembic cache doesn´t cover the whole timeline and you need it to Freeze before and after it ends, you need to add “preroll” and “postroll” frames and select “Keep state” in the “When finished” dropdown.
you might also change the end frame to one less then exported, if your animation doesn´t hold at the end of the segment.
