Imported GLB with animation does not animate in AE

Steps to reproduce:
1. Import this GLB into AE: https://www.filemail.com/d/xyutldhxgdvybez

2. Create a new comp with it by dragging it onto the New Comp icon

3. Choose either of the Actions under the layer's Animation Options

4. Play the comp

Result: No animation

Expected: The torus should animate, as it does when viewed in any other GLB viewer (eg. Windows' 3D Viewer app or any online GLB viewer). Does AE not support animation in GLB files?

System info
Application: After Effects (Beta) v24.5.0.23
OS: Windows v10.0.19045, RAM: 127.91 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 32

Indeed - I've just imported it and that T-rex model does work exceptionally well!

I wonder what I'm doing wrong during the export process from Blender > GLB > AE?

You could try this one https://t.co/WKmYBsJYLM

It's the one we did our announcement of the feature with. I know that one works.

I think there is only one animation on it (the ripply deformation). Not sure how that other animation option crept in there.

But I've tried many other animated GLBs, and I cannot get any to animate in AE.

Loading it up in the Windows Viewer, only Animation 1 seems to animate. Animation 2 seems not to move. Is that your experience too?

GLB is the format that supports animation. We'll take a look at the file and see what is going on.
