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

    When I need to use undo there is often a big jump in values. Sometimes, when I’m on a generator, that spike can cause a rev or sharp decrease. It would be nice to have a setting that gradually goes back when using undo.

    Re-arranging the tabs into new frames/window is a pain. A simple click/tap and drag to the new frame would make re-arranging your content very fast. Want your Augment3d with all your current settings in the other window, just drag that tab to the frame...

    I'd love to be able to put the alert time both as a field on my Active or Pending Cue magic sheet items, as well as an object in itself. Maybe the object could link to a cuelist, and it would show the next cue's alert time? Thanks!

    Hello, love the new face panel controls in 3.1! But, when extiguishing the desklights and monitors, the displays key blinks. I have recently been using it a lot in a very dark/dim show. I always had to place my palm over the displays key because it was...

    Hi, When tilting conventionals I noticed that the tilt axis is behind the cap. Basically at the C-clamp instead of being at the point where the yoke meets the body. Could this be a future fix? Thanks!!

    This proposal is to add a macro wait function that does not continue until the prior command has finished execution -- for example, a prior command that sneaks out data, will automatically pause macro execution until the sneak command is completed; or...

    We have rate and size on the physical encoders, but what about boards that don't have physical encoders? Would be nice to also have rate and size in ML controls so that they could be adjusted more easily.

  • Rename Effect "Trail" to "Distance"

    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...

  • Timecode Mute

    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...
