Just wondering if anyone around here knows the best way to tackle Houdini —> Fusion?

I have a moving camera and animated nulls and lights along with my render EXR that I would love to bring into Fusion for further compositing.

When I was using C4D, there was a fairly simple and straightforward export function to go straight into AE, which would retain the camera (or cameras), lights and nulls.

Weirdly Houdini has a Houdini_2_AE HDA, but I can't seem to find anything to send data to Fusion.

Alembic works fine.

Oh ok, that seems pretty straightforward.

Thank you!

FBX usually works for me too (specifically Hou --> Fu). There are times when going the other way (cameras tracked in Fusion and exported) have trouble translating to Houdini (and I assume other environments) because of the way 1 vs 2 node cameras handle their rotation axes, but the last time I had to do it I remember it just took some rotation order changes to fix.
