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

    Option to disable macro without having to delete contents or delete full macro. Helpful for organizing show file workflow - if you have magic sheets already made but want to disable functionality of a macro button without ruining the work of all the reference...
  • Patch Cleanup

    • 0 Comments
    I spend an awful lot of time hunting down blank, useless channels in Patch and deleting them. It would be great to have a cleanup function that automatically gets rid of channels in patch with no address, no profile, and no data in the show file.
  • CopyTo multiple targets

    • 0 Comments
    It would be great if it was possible to copy to multiple targets. For example [Cue 1] [CopyTo] [5]+[8] All to often I find myself having to go to a cue and record to multiple targets, because CopyTo does not work in that regard.
  • Show macro label when fader buttons are assigned as macros

    • 1 Comment
    When I set a fader button to be a macro trigger, it shows the macro number on the screen. I think it’d be really useful if the macro’s label shows on the screen instead.
  • Ability to set the path movers take

    • 3 Comments
    It would be nice if there was the ability to set the path for the movers to take during a cue, similar to the path one can set for colors. I know that it is possible to just do multiple cues to set focus points, but when they have to be run in manual...

  • Coloring of PSD Rows

    Hello, I would very much like a way to customize cuelists like being able to colorize a row(cue or part) to make it stand out. For example all cues triggered by Qlab could be purple, and timecode triggered cues could become red. The PSD is elegant and...
  • Make "Offline" a big red warning

    • 0 Comments
    When using the console in offline mode, it is easy to forget about it afterwards, especially if auto start is configured and it automatically selects offline because is was the last selected option. The "Offline" warning in the bottom right corner should...
  • Gobo Flip

    • 2 Comments
    I was going through the Hamilton project workbook with 3.0 and I realized there's no way to flip a gobo in augmented. I can rotate it as many degrees as a want but I can't flip the image over. Obviously could do a work around with another program, but...

    Hi, The ability to add focus tapes would be useful. Or the ability to a grid overlay of some kind? Thoughts? David
