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: 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.
  • Add Background Image in Pixel Map

    • 0 Comments
    I'd love the ability to add a background image to a pixel map in the editor and as an underlay option in pixel map preview. We do pixels in our set pieces and having the ability to add a picture as an underlay would be very helpful to be able to place...

    It would be nice to set a priority on universe (or even channel) level in Eos, not only one general priority. Ideally this would be per showfile and device.

    When using systems of fronts and pipe ends, for example, copying shutter information in patch would be extremely helpful when focusing static fixtures in A3d.
  • 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
