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

  • Syntax addition: [Time][Recall from]

    • 0 Comments
    I want to suggest adding support for recalling time from a cue. This might be useful if you're creating a macro that needs to have a {Wait} that is the same time as the last/next cue.
  • 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...
  • Renumber cues

    • 3 Comments
    I would love to be able to renumber all the cues in the show to whole numbers. The cue list would then be much easier for the caller and generally look good. The workaround of moving cues to some other number is just too tedious a task. Especially...
  • Timestamp on Command History Tab [Tab 30] and Undo

    Would be nice to have a reference of when a change was made for Command History and Undo.

    MS object selection should respect border of object I have hundreds of Magic Sheet objects and they are crammed very tightly together. When editing the MS and selecting multiple objects, the selection of an object doesn't respect the border of the object...

  • Feature request: When selecting curves, get a visual representation of each curve.

    • 3 Comments
    Title is basically it, would love to just see the curves and decide by that representation instead of reading labels and hoping what's behind them matches what I think they do.
  • Make All EOS commands available in Macro Editor

    • 0 Comments
    I am sure that this came up some times, But i can't find it in the Feature Request. So here i go. Like to see every command that is possible in the EOS Software to be an option in the Macro Editor. Simple commands like "Up" or "Down", like "Fader...
  • 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.
  • Adding Fixture Into Existing Presets

    • 0 Comments
    When adding a fixture into and existing preset, that has been used in multiple cues already, it would be very useful to have an option that would place that fixture into that specific preset in all other cues that use that preset. This would be very useful...
