This gizmo allow you to get the transformation data of alembic.
In addition, When you use this with alembic which has multiple object nodes , you can reconstruct the ReadGeo and get multiple ReadGeo nodes for them with some transformation data as a result.
Very Important:
This gizmo needs pyAlembic.
How to Use:
1.Please connect this input to ReadGeo which has the file path for alembic.
2.Please press either of the buttons in 'alembic reconstructor' tab.
When you press 'reconstruction with matrix expression', you will get the animations for the transformation as 'expression' in matrix.
When you press 'reconstruction with SRT expression', you will get the animations for the transformation as 'expression' in scale,rotate and translate.
Notice:
Because alembic can have so many nodes in itself,
it might takes a long time to execute this in case it has so many nodes.
If you open 'Curve Editor', you feel it's slow when you press button.
After setting expression, I highly recommend baking keyframes. Especially before you submit to kinds of network rendering, you have to bake them, otherwise you will get some error.
This gizmo needs pyAlembic. Please install it in your Environment, before you use this.

I described something about 'pyAlembic'on my blog.
