Procedure to export 3ds Max camera animation to Standalone?

I've set up a scene with Octane cameras that are animated over 100 frames. I export the scene from 3ds Max, using the Octane Export tools and checking the "Animation" box.
However, when I open the exported scene in standalone, there are no options to go to any frames and I only see one frame of the camera.
Am I missing something? There seems to be no documentation or tutorials on this process.

I've added the moveable proxy to all objects, whether they moved or not. Then re-exported with a new name and it worked!!
Thanks Paride!

In 3ds Max, I've animated the properties of a light as an animation: Size, power, color temperature
I've also made the lights move by associating the light to an ellipse using the "assign controller" and "path parameter" method. It works in 3ds Max.
When I export this to Standalone, the light does not change in location, power, color temperature or size. Any idea why?
Thank you

I got it working! I think I had not checked the "animation" checkbox.
Thanks again Paride!!
