Re: maya timeline
so I guess the proper way to do it is to just run alembic caches that won't ruin the timeline right? it's frame by frame?

Re: maya timeline
We had some assets that were done in a different time format referenced in and blew up our playblast. I mean "crashing Maya" blowing up the playblasts.

Re: maya timeline
It's like Will said, the plugin is sampling the scene at different times for motion blur.

RE: Maya Timeline ticks
It does...but there are just to filter all channels, those you mark in the channel box or none. You can look in the preferences of the time line and turn on a further option 'Smart'...but this won't further filter rot, trans and scale unless you mark it in the channel box again. I would have thought by simply activating a transform in the viewport, there would be an option to sync the ticks to just show that transform methos. Like in Soft.
