Any Split Source Node?

Hi all,

This is my 1 st post here.
I’m learning to use Natron (very fine tool by the way. Congratulations to the developer(s)).

I was wondering if Natron offers a Node able to Split the source (opposite of the Merge node).
Something like represented in the image or any other method to achieve this?

NOTE: Before someone suggests to add a second READ node or duplicate the existing READ one, and get-on with it, let me explain that the usefulness of a Split /Duplicate node is far ahead such suggestion.
Much appreciated.

first solution: you can connect any number of effects downstream of a node. Try dragging the “Source” arrow from the target node instead of the teeny arrow on the output of the node itself.

second: you can create a “Dot” node using the “.” key or by Ctrl-clicking on the yellow balls that appear when you press Ctrl (cmd on Mac).

The Dot node is basically a passthrough node: it does nothing and is just here to help keeping things tidy in your graph.
