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

    Hi there How do you change color of objects inside augmented? I am trying to make stage decks and want them to be black but they only appear to be grey even if I pick a color for them.
  • [request] Magic sheet editing with actual object label

    • Planned for Future on
    • 4 Comments
    I do a lot of MS editing. Currently, when editing, the label just displays as "(Label)". It would be very helpful to me to have the actual label display when editing because oftentimes the label is bigger or smaller than the "(Label)" text and I need...
  • Augment3d - Translucent Cyclorama

    • 11 Comments
    I’m really surprised I haven’t seen this in the forums, I would think it would be a fairly common request. If it’s not already planned, could we have a cyclorama object in Augment3d, with translucency so we can light it from either the front or the rear...
  • Open Recent Files option in the CIA!

    With every new release I hold my breath and look for an 'Open Recent Files' option. I know it's on the list...I just want it really really bad. ;-) Just a list of 5 of them. I can't tell you the number of times I'm jumping back and forth between show...

  • Allow gobo selection by number

    • Planned for Future on
    • 3 Comments
    I would like to select gobos in patch by manufacturer number instead of the tiny picture that's way too small to figure out what it is. I know what number I want and would like to just select it. Displaying the number with the picture would help a lot...

    Can you import a 2D image, say a designer’s floor plan, and lay it on the floor to help position stock flats, furniture etc.?
  • Shift + Level for flashing your level intensity.

    Shift + Level should flash your intensity at the saved level you have assigned it. I don’t always want to flash at full… thank you !
  • Minimum Fade Time for channels/addresses

    • 3 Comments
    As a programmer who often ends up in film land, I'm often dealing with 12k and 20k lamps, which prefer to be faded up slowly; snapping them to full causes big inrush current and has been known to crack lenses. I think it would be very useful to be able...
  • Gel colours

    • 0 Comments
    When setting the Gel for a channel (Patch > Database > Gel), a selection of the Gel, like when we construct the Scroller Wheel Gel, would also make sense with the gel of the data base and would be helpful. The present one write complicated the right...
