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

  • Feature Request: Continuously Random Offset Attribute

    • 0 Comments
    So with the great new offset features and random modifiers in 3.0 I revisited how I use random in my workflow and refamiliarized myself with what they can do. Offset is a fantastic feature, and random offset provides a quick and easy to use tool that...
  • Augment3d: Be able to change beam brightness of fixtures in patch or fixture profiles.

    • 1 Comment
    I'm currently using the Robe Colorstrobes in a show and they're way to bright for the event, although when I turn them down the panel on the front of the fixture gets too dark. I don't want to change the global beam brightness as it is ok for the show...
  • Timeline-based Show Control

    • 4 Comments
    I would love to be able to have a timeline-based look at my Show Control Events. The spreadsheet-like view really gets in the way when dealing with lots of actions.

  • Feature Request: Fully incorporate virtual & real CIE X CIE Y parameters into color picker

    • 6 Comments

  • Media Browser

    • 0 Comments
    With the more widespread use of Icons throughout EOS, it would be great to have a dedicated Media Browser Tab. I have found it really difficult to do things like delete old Icons and such as the location to do that is quite strange. A single tab that...
