The Fusion page is missing the Duplicate tool.
I'm just saying to make sure it doesn't fall through the cracks.
It's one of the most important tools in Fusion.
And: Hasn't that happened before? I thought Fusion 8 or 9 was also missing the Duplicate tool for a while...

The 2d Duplicate tool is a 3rd-party Fuse. It's never been part of a default Fusion install. Not sure why; it seems like an obvious sort of thing to have in the base toolset.

edit: At present, I think that Fuses aren't officially supported in DaVinci, but it can't hurt to copy the Duplicate Fuse out of your Fusion 9 install into Resolve and see if it works. I've only tried it with MultiMerge so far, and that one is broken.

Umm...yes it is! I recently re-installed Fusion 9 and I did not add the Duplicate tool myself. It's just there. I also went through my Fuses folder on my external drive and it's not there. If I had downloaded it as a third party fuse, it should be there. I also found an older forum topic that confirmed my statement.
In the Beta phase Fusion 8, the duplicate fuse was not integrated in Fusion. It was in a separate "developer" folder from where you could copy it into another folder to use it in Fusion. And that's also what I did back then.

I found it in Fusion 9 here:
C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\Fusion 9\Fuses\Blackmagic

Yeah, Duplicate (2D) has been a part of Fusion since 5.3. It and others will return once we've had more time to ensure they work properly.

Hmm… My mistake. I was sure that was one that I'd had to install myself. Should look at my installation before shooting my mouth off.
