If your ABC archive contains an animated clip, you can access it by modifying the abcframe intrinsic on the alembic primitive in question.

That probably means transitioning to a copy-sop based packed primitive workflow instead of point instancing.

In theory, it should amount to a similar memory footprint, but in my experience there are several gotchas.

Cheers,

Hello, keyframe.

I'm very interested to hear these gotchas, if you will. Thanks.
