i am exporting a simple animated object that does not deform ,just transforms, but still the file size is really big compared to the static model.
Is there a way to reduce the filesize?i am not saving any attributes

Maybe fbx is a better choice?After some testing i couldn't get it to export an animation. i don't want to export a sequence. Just one file

I have already tried to set the Geometry option to save Transform Geometry only and not Deforming. Also i do not save any attributes. My geometry is around 5mb when i save one frame alembic, but when i save an animation of 650 frames its 85mb.
Does this sound reasonable? Since the only thing that changes is my packed primitives transforms.
Also my geo has around 35.000points

I always use 'merge with parent' to write transformation animation with alembic.

that option messes with my transforms unfortunately

You need a proper path to use that option
