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

    I find myself often making focus fans on groups of fixtures that are mirrored symmetrically. It would be useful if there was a softkey extension to invert the focus when copying values while creating focus pallets. I would propose it as 2 keys: {Invert...

    Without reading the manual (and even when you do) the word "Trail" in the context of Eos effects is very easy to misunderstand. Almost everybody seems to understand this word as the trailing (comet effect) of an effect. "Trail" does however control how...

    When going through a cue range and adding follows to make it callable for a human in the event of a timecode failure, it would be great to be able to keep the timecode on a cue but have it 'muted'. This would also be useful for when a cut is made and...

    Frequently on my magic sheets I will map a button to an EOS Target. Could be a channel, preset, group, or anything. I'll then need to move the target. It would be nice if I could do that without also having to re-target all the magic sheet object that...

    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...

    Copy in patch to not break by-types. When you copy show data it makes discrete data in all the by-type pallets, if the chan is following a leader it shouldn't take any data for that pallet across with it.
