| 21.0.624 | Fix bug in the APEX Animate viewport state where framing with no controls selected would include the bounding box of hidden character geometry. |

| 21.0.624 | When a USD ROP save operation is set to strip off data from above layer breaks, the layers above the layer break would be removed from the stage, then added back to cook the next frame, then removed again, etc. for each frame. This could incur significant recomposition costs and slow the export. Now the layers above the layer break are stripped off during the save operation without altering the stage and avoiding the recomposition. |
