Same thing here, we received a tracked abc camera and the imported camera works in C4D viewport but octane doesn't read the focal info (postion / scale / rotation are all ok).

Just found the solution while tinkering. Putting it here for anyone having the problem :

Just hit "C" on your imported .abc Camera to make it editable aka "normal cam + alembic Tag".

Every information (including focal data) should be there.

Cheers,

hello, thanks for the answer,
I use standalone octane, unfortunately if I click "C" nothing happens
