Hey Everyone,

Help! I'm trying to get a job out today.

First time using the octane cloud. I've tried exporting to octane standalone to upload to the cloud but every time it only exports a single frame - Using both the cloud > send scene and the export > animated package. No animation comes into the standalone or uploads to the cloud.

All my settings are correct to render the sequence locally.
Using octane 3.08.1 r4
only animation is on the camera

What am I missing? I've done tons of searches online but haven't found the issue.

I haven't used ORC or standalone to render, but just for the basics of trouble shooting, create a new scene with just an animated camera, sun and a couple objects.
Test that to see if you can successfully get it to export to standalone.

I did a quick test here, and it seems to be OK with those simple elements.

When I export it counts through the frames as if it's working. But when opening the files in standalone there's no animation or timeline.

Happened with a simple cube scene too, so no difference.

Well shoot. It seems like it's a camera problem?

If I animate an object, the animated object imports to standalone fine. BUT an animated camera won't import....

Ok. This looks like it's a bug.

I put a null in and animated the null. Only after that did the camera animation import into standalone.

If the only thing animated in the scene is the camera, the animation doesn't import.

Does this fix it in a way for you to get it out today?
