You’re welcome. That’s strange that it isn’t there. Hopefully BMD can help you out. When they do, I’d be curious to know what the issue is just in case I ever run across the same thing.

Best,

Hey Simon,

I am currently using Fusion Studio 9.0.1 for macOS, but I’ve also used the tool in the Lite version. I’m not sure about the earlier versions of Fusion, but in this build, you can find the tool by following either of the below steps:

Click on the “Tools” drop-down at top of screen -> Move cursor down to “Resolve Connect” -> Select “External Matte Saver”

OR

Down in the “Flow” window, right-click in the empty space -> highlight “Add Tool” -> then highlight “Resolve Connect” -> then select “External Matte Saver”

Hi Simon,

I’m also on a Mac and I am able to use the tool. You get to it by right-clicking in the flow chart, going to “Add Tool,” then “Resolve Connect.” It is the only option under “Resolve Connect.”

Best,
Dylan

I also haven’t been able to find out any useful information on this tool. But with the node selected and going into the “Mattes” tab, I switched the drop-down from “A” to “RGBA” and then exported my matte and it exported correctly. Note that I had to manually add “.exr” to the file name so Resolve would see the image sequence.

If anybody has any more information about this tool, I’d love to read it.

Best,
Dylan
