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: Separate Pop-Up Magic Sheets for separate workspaces.

    • 2 Comments
    Often when working with multiple monitors, we dedicate some workspaces to specific tasks. It would be useful if we could specify a different magic sheet for each workspace that we could customize to utilize that particular workspace most efficiently.

  • Assign different macros to button press and release

    • 0 Comments
    I have come to this requirement when I tried to mimic bump button behavior for multiple actions. My idea was to set multiple faders/subs on key press and go back on release.
  • Scene breaks in spreadsheet

    • 0 Comments
    Just like the title says. We would really love to see the Scene labels as a little green line (or something) in spreadsheet just like in the PSD. Because we re-focus every light every day, it's critical we know when things are really used and not. Our...
  • Link CIE X, Y fixture parameter values to Color Picker tab values

    • 0 Comments
    CIE 1931 is becoming a much more common way of communicating color on film sets. You're starting to see a lot of gaffers walking around with a color meter on their hip, and these days most new LED fixtures have a DMX profile with X,Y color mode. Eos...

  • Feature Request: Shutter Pair States in Encoder Snapshots

    • 2 Comments
    Hey team, It would be amazing if encoder snapshots included the state of the shutter pair buttons. Having a macro that is able to control those buttons quickly without having to access the encoder display would be valuable, especially when not on a...
