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

    It would be great if it was possible to adjust parameters on the encoder view in a similar manner to the ML Controls pop-up (e.g. hover over a parameter and use the scroll wheel to adjust the value) or perhaps enable a click-and-drag behaviour on the...
  • Display any parameter data on a magic sheet

    • 4 Comments
    I'd like to have the ability to show the status/value down to the individual parameter level on a magic sheet and not just the category. For example - I want to see JUST the label for the beam palette that the Zoom parameter is in, without worrying...

  • Lock Magic sheets objects

  • Swap Values Softkey

    • 0 Comments
    It'd be nice to have a "swap values" softkey where we could select two fixtures and have all of the parameter values from one apply to the other, and vice-versa. This is something that I am asked to do a lot, and the current macro-based way of doing it...

  • 'Showfile Load' Macro trigger

    • 1 Comment
    There is a startup Macro for desk boot, but you can't assign a Macro to be triggered when opening your file. We have some startup functions we need to run when you open/switch files throughout the day but this can't be done via Startup Macro.
