Checking camera animation in an ORBX scene?

Hello there!
I finished an animated archi scene in Modo but I need to upload to Octane render cloud to render the whole 50000 frames.
After exporting the scene to ORBX, I'd like to check in Octane render standalone if the camera animation has been saved correctly but I can't find a timeline or any other way to visualize the animation.
Help please, this is an urgent matter
Thank you

I exported the cam as alembic file, loads fine in Octane but if I connect the alembic into the camera input of the render target node, I don't have access to camera settings anymore. Are the settings saved from Modo (dof, shutter, Fstop etc)?
Also once I export my (new with alambic camera) Orbx to Otoy render cloud, will the camera be saved with my orbx file as well ?
Thank you

I think you need to be using the octane.exportAnimation command.

You should really make this a button on the toolbar

right, because the icon under the ipr and the command aren't the same?
And if I use the command, then the camera motion should be exported as well? No need for an extra alambic export?

Yes. The command is octane.saveAnimation.

Is there any reason why this isnt a button? Why not make this easier for users?

If you provide a button icon I will add it to the toolbar.
