I'm using Octane 4, and I'm having the same problem.
Camera focal length animation isn't exporting correctly to .OCS with "octane.saveAnimation"

I'm attaching the Modo scene and the OCS export.

Thanks in advance.

Hi. I loaded your scene and then octane.saveAnimation, and the loaded the resulting file into Octane Standalone, and the Camera->Focal Depth was animated correctly as per the scene in Modo. Modo 12.2v1. So I was unable to reproduce your problem.

Thanks

For me the problem existed: In modo the animation was fine, but after exporting and opening in standalone the focal depth stopped updating the animated values after some frames.

I eventually managed to solve this issue:
1) I added one keyframe before, and one a keyframe after the existing octane focal depth keyframes in modo.
2)I reexported using the "octane.saveAnimation" command and now in standalone the animation was correct.

Hope this fix will help other users.

Thanks
