Alembic imports won’t play in Action

Hey super nerds. I’m at my wits end. I make a cool sim in xparticles thru c4D, exported an alembic but it won’t play when I import it into action. I aligned the in point to 1. Still nada. Looks like it’s stuck on the first frame of the sim. I brought the alembic into blender and it is an animated mesh. Any thoughts ??? Thanks!!

Did you bake the keyframes in c4d or blender?

yes - using the ‘Bake as Alembic’ tool in C4D

I am having the same problem. exact same way.
