How to install Krokodove in DaVinci Resolve and Fusion
Resolve 21 changed the answer. Older tutorials still describe the external Krokodove plug-in, while Blackmagic now integrates a substantial Krokodove set directly into Fusion and Edit Effects in Resolve 21. Installation therefore starts with separating the Resolve 21 integration from legacy Krokodove v8.30.
Short answer
If you run DaVinci Resolve 21, Krokodove is already installed
You do not need a separate ZIP, Reactor package or manually copied legacy plugin for the integrated set. Blackmagic integrated the Krokodove toolset into Fusion and Edit Effects in Resolve 21. If the tools are missing, check the version and current Fusion toolset before hunting for an old installer.
DaVinci Resolve 21
Verify the integrated toolset in four steps
Confirm Resolve 21
The final DaVinci Resolve 21 release lists Krokodove support among the Fusion additions in the regular Resolve 21 feature set. Older hosts use a different installation model.
Update to the final 21 release
Early beta behavior and legacy third-party packages are not a clean baseline. Use the current final Resolve 21 release for a new setup.
Search a documented tool
In Fusion, search for Fragments, Pattern, Seamless Loop, Channel Shifter or Mapped Duplicate 3D — all are named in Blackmagic's Krokodove list.
Remove legacy duplication
If you previously installed Krokodove separately, do not keep that legacy copy layered over the integrated Resolve 21 toolset.

How the separate Krokodove v8.30 plugin is installed
The original Komkom Doorn page describes the classic v8.30 workflow: download the package, choose the plugin file that matches the exact Fusion/Resolve generation and operating system, copy it into the appropriate Fusion Plugin folder, then restart the host. The developer also notes that third-party plugins require Studio editions.
1. Match the host version
Do not treat a nearby binary as interchangeable. The archive contains builds for different Fusion/Resolve generations and host APIs.
2. Copy the plugin, not a template
The developer describes installation into the proper Plugin folder. This is distinct from installing a Fuse or an Edit/Fusion template.
3. Restart the host
The application must rescan binary plugins. If the tools do not appear, version/OS mismatch is the first thing to check.
Why Krokodove may be missing
Your host is older than 21
Legacy Krokodove and integrated Krokodove use different installation models. Resolve/Fusion 19 and earlier need a compatible legacy build.
A legacy copy survived the upgrade
Do not mix old manually installed/Reactor-era files with Resolve 21's integrated copy. Test a clean Resolve 21 environment.

Version status and documentation
The version matrix and documented-tool list in this cluster are grounded in Blackmagic Design's Resolve 21 documentation and the original Krokodove developer page. We distinguish Blackmagic's over-70-graphics product wording, its more-than-100 effects-and-tools guide wording, and the 61 tools explicitly named in the brief guide table. The legacy external plug-in is kept separate from the Resolve 21 integration.
