Broken: version: 2.93.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2021-02-17 20:05, hash: rB78116a1edc9b
Worked: N/A

Short description of error
The "Override Frame" channel of the MeshSequenceCache modifier, if animated, its keyframes don't appear in graph editor

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open Blender - import an *.abc file - select the modifiers properties tab - check "override frame" in the MeshSequenceCache - make a keyframe on frame 0 and another one on last frame -> the animation curve doesnt' show in the graph editor
[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]

Do you have the "Only Show Selected" option turned off?

Hi Falk,
I didn't had it turned off - as I turned it off the curve appeared in the graph editor - thank you for the workaround!
As I understand from the description the "only show selected" button if pressed, only shows channels related to selected objects and data - so it should have been showing the keys from the modifier in the editor.
Before I reported the bug I've tried animating a channel in the bevel modifier and it worked as it should be - the keys of the modifier showed in the graph editor with the "only show selected" button pressed
Another strange thing happens if I delete the imported .abc object - the keys still show in the graph editor

Sorry this has been lying around for so long.

This is already on the list, see T69058: Alembic integration improvements, specifically T73200: Alembic: show animdata on CacheFile as sub-animdata of objects, will merge these reports.
