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 adding channels to a running effect in a subsequent cue (e.g., Cue 1: Ch 1-5; Cue 2: Ch 1-5 + 10-11), the effect for the entire channel set restarts instantly. This causes a visible snap in 0 seconds, ignoring the effect's entry time. New channels...

    This would be a great organizational tool. Allowing to quickly filter lists. Would also work great in combination with the search function. It would also open new possibilities when creating macros.

    Working on a project with only 14 cues, and our PSD scrolls every time we take a cue. I understand the rationale from Anne in a forum a year and a half ago. It would also be great to be able to lock that for specific instances like this, so that I could...

    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.
