Feature and improvement suggestions

Feedback from users like you help us shape and improve Eos for all productions. We receive a large number of feature requests and suggestions from many sources, including this forum. Your comments and votes help us understand which features you’re passionate about, but there are many additional factors which inform development prioritization for any given release.

The most helpful information you can provide us when commenting on issues is how a particular suggestion would help you. If you describe your use-case and how the suggested change would benefit your work, it lets us gain a much deeper understanding of the need behind the suggestion. Suggestions often have an impact on what we work on, even if we ultimately choose not to implement a suggestion exactly as it’s described. Our ultimate goal is to understand what you and all users need and to create solutions that meet those needs. Occasionally, that’ll mean implementing a suggestion as described, but it usually means working to understand the need behind the suggestion and how we can meet that need for as many users as possible.

While we endeavor to update and respond to popular suggestions, the volume we receive means there will be occasions when we can’t provide an update or response in a timely manner. For bugs and show-critical issues, please use our standard forums and support structures: https://www.etcconnect.com/Contact/Technical-Support.aspx

    Without an object such as SUB 101.1 or MACRO 101.1, one cannot create an organized show file. Since the functionality already exists for presets, palettes, groups and snapshots, it would be beneficial if there was the ability to maintain one concept through...

    Would it be possible for Home Home to ignore the Home Preset. i.e if you had a shutter cut in the home preset you could do shutter Home Home and it would home the shutter frame to its original home value with all shutter cuts out instead of having to...

    This is a common feature in other visualizers--something visible on one face of the 3D model's base to allow easy coordination of the light's virtual orientation with reality. I'm having a lot of fun playing with augment3d but that part of it involved...

    I'd love the ability to put comments inline in a macro, so you can explain what is happening and why it has to happen that certain way, for example.

    It would be cool to to be able to move and rotate fixtures organically with the encoders whenever you are in the Augment3D section in patch, it would be just like controling a moving light. The focus encoder page button could become the toggle between...
