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

  • Add Notes to palettes and presets like you can add notes to cues

    • 0 Comments
    On location film sets I often have to match a color on the fly to a practical fixture. I’d love a place to put some notes about why I recorded this particular color that gives more details than I can fit on a label (especially if the label ends up on...
  • Purge Unused Imported Gobos

    • 0 Comments
    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 ...
  • Feature request: Bezier curves!

    Bezier curves! Would love to create highly smooth bezier driven curves for 16-bit parameters. I'm always trying to create smooth easings but they are always too rough.
  • Update User only

    • 1 Comment
    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...

    Make Labels from Patch usable as Query.
  • Alert time improvements

    • 0 Comments
    A few improvements that could be made with the alert time functionality: Alert time on RFR apps - really helpful when having to run around and activate cues at the same time Larger alert time timer - it can be difficult to, at a glance, see how...
  • Make FX rate and size faders recordable

    • 0 Comments
    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.
  • Show control cleanup

    • 2 Comments
    Similar to how auto block cleanup works, the ability to run a cleanup even on show control that removes anything no longer actively linked -- for example, deleted cues with timecode are persisted in show control, but the ability to later go back and delete...
  • Learn fader and bump button movements with timing.

    • 0 Comments
    Have the learn function save fader movements to play back a "look" you just made while busking. And also in the same fashion playback using bump buttons you have tapped to make a flicker or random type strobe.
  • Support sACN priorities per universe

    • Planned for Future on
    • 1 Comment
    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.
