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

    Howdy: When merging in files that have been created through merging in lots of other parts, you get a lot of extra/unwanted gobo images. It would be great to have a button to remove these, as they travel along in files and add quite a bit of bloat ...

    I often work with multiple lighting fixtures that all use the same colour mixing engine, or are calibrated to the same space. For example, all Color Force IIs use the same colour engine, all Mac Vipers and the Axiom use the same colour engine, and the...

    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

    it would be helpful to be able to use Sneak in combination with Augment3d's click-to-focus feature. Chan 1 Sneak (unterminated) in the command line would affect the speed of the following focus change when using long click in A3D. thx, ueli

    As of now if I want a direct select to be represented by a big icon and not look messy, I either have to make the target label-less, which is not ideal, or prepend its label with six pipes to send it to the bottom of the direct select ("||||||Thing")...

    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.
