Trying to pull this thread from the dead! Alembic import is so important to integrating into pipelines. We could really use a solution. Is this still in the works? What’s the status? It seems that Epic has dropped their own Alembic solution?
+1 for interest in alembic into unreal
This May…on roadmap 
Well blow me down. What’s interesting is that they also moved Vertex animation card to May/June. An will this show up in 4.12 or 4.13?
awwww yisssss 
Defs need Alembic
I have wasted a lot of time looking for workarounds, and I can confirm that I need direct Alembic support into UE4 for an effective workflow for implementing baked simulations and vertex animation. There is no other way.
Also from what I am reading here, this feature is long overdue.
Ya, with 4.13 git build has alembic support :X, just need to rotate axis when playing
