The improvements added to workflow and interface features in Harmony 21 are designed to optimize performance and increase workflow speed. Below is a list of these optimizations.

General Optimizations to Tools and Interface

Multiple optimizations have been applied to various tools and interface features . Below is a list of these optimizations.

Feature / Tool Optimization
OpenGL Rendering Optimizations

The performance of the Camera view has been improved by making OpenGL rendering in this view multi-threaded. This allows Harmony to use multiple CPU cores to simultaneously perform render operations of multiple drawings and effects. Scenes with high numbers of drawing layers benefit the most from the multi-threaded OpenGL rendering. Performance improvements are noticeable when manipulating artwork using the Transform tool or when panning and zooming the camera view in those types of scenes.

Transform Tool

Transform Tool overall responsiveness and performance when selecting, editing and interacting in the scene has been improved, specifically with heavier scenes that have many nodes which is common in rig-based projects.
