I'm trying to test the Alembic export from Houdini.
I've created a very simple scene with a couple of geometry objects, a camera and a light.
I created an Alembic ROP in the Out context and set the output file to output a file output.abc to the $HIP folder.
When I click on render the Alembic ROP turns red stripped and no output file is created.

Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

You can't render out Alembic files with Apprentice HD.

OK.
Thanks.
