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

    Similar to how with moving lights we see an XYZ of where the lamp is focused at any time, it would be useful to input the focus position of conventionals with coordinates in patch rather than having to click and drag. It would also be great to see the...

    we can use Group Sub, Group Cue or Group Fader to select all channels that are part of that record target. this does currently not respect filters that may have been applied to the target. i think it should, or at least respective syntax should be provided...

    Hello all, Thank you for your phenomenal work on the new direct select system in Eos 3.1. I would like to use the "jump to" option in custom direct selects to switch between several custom direct select layouts I have made. I cannot do this right...

    While 3.2 added a new search tool such as search by channel or cue label, this actually also works with Macro -- but for that to work you need Macro on the command line. There is no true way to get macro on the command line without a work around such...

    Sometimes, you make some changes to an object in your favorite CAD program. It would be nice, if it was possible to replace an existing object with a newer version.

    Hi there, It would be nice to be able to invert the order of cells from patch for when a fixture may be hung backward and you are unable to either flip the cells on the fixture or physically access it. Mostly asking for linear fixtures, but some grid...

    It would be useful if there was an option in Tab 36 to link it to the fader wing & fader page you are using. So when you changed pages, the page you were on was at the top.

    Hey guys, This is a request for a specific situation. Very often a gaffer will ask me to set an A and a B focus palette with movers to then move between in an effect. That’s easy enough with an absolute effect using focus palettes. However, the one...

  • Vertically split Direct Select Banks

    I'd like the ability to split DS Banks vertically. I can only split Banks horizontally and the result is kind of random based upon the number of Rows. 15 Columns of 3 Rows is wider than 15 Columns of 1 Row. If I use the 3 Vertical spaces layout format...
