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

  • Make FX rate and size faders recordable

    Changes made by rate and size faders are not recordable. When making changes with those faders, the rate and size numbers are not manual - and are therefore not recorded into cues.

  • Copy/paste in macro editor

    • 0 Comments
    It would be extremely helpful to have copy/paste available within the macro editor, especially with a large percentage of our macros sending strings/OSC/etc. Plus the ability to copy-paste from off-show libraries, sharable macros, etc.
  • Update User only

    Hey, Could there be an additional Update Modifier for 'User only' pleaseeeee. Ideally can be set as a default by user, just like Make Abs and Ref Only etc. Now that it's more and more common to have multiple consoles/users in a system, it would be great...

  • Snapshot Default Settings

    • 0 Comments
    Currently there's no way to set default settings for snapshots. It would be great if I didn't have to deselect "favorite" and select "all workspaces" every time I record a snapshot, for example. Thanks Greg

    As needed, could be useful lock Magic sheets objects during edit mode to avoid unwanted movement. Always selectables, but lock to grid. Thank you Francesco

    In an absolute effect, using the BPM softkey in the effects editor to change the speed of the effect respaces the whole effect evenly. This makes it so cannot have asymmetrical effects, like an intensity step where the on state is shorter than the off...
