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 was changing profiles on a dozen movers the other day and found myself double tapping the HOME button when done as if I was putting a light to full. Thought this might be a good feature as I have never entered anything else when sending a fixture to...

    See the videos at the link below In 2 cases opening one file from previously sitting in a different one, and the 3rd case opening from a fresh install. In all instances, the A3D model takes some time to fully load but there isn’t any feedback to let you...

    It's great that we have even more places we can search, but it would be great if it was expanded into: Cue list names (we can search by cue labels, but it doesn't search the cue list label) Macro+Shift+About Events+Shift+About

    With the new "Create pixelmaps from..." tools in 3.0, it would be awesome if you could quickly create a pixelmap of a moving light rig, and then select what attribute you would like the pixel map to manipulate when playing a video. For instance using...

    I like to use screenshots of the magic sheets as a plot for the gaffer. The only problem is that the resolution is kind of low and it looks a little fuzzy, especially on some of the numbers. It would be nice to get higher resolution images.

    In addition to the Button item, it would be really helpful if we had a command item like in Magic sheets, with the same label and Icon options in my other feature request. This would let us change another Custom Direct Select without having to make snapshots...

    Is it possible to order Scene direct selects by scene number rather than orderd by cue lists? For episodic TV and film at the start of each day I make a new cue list and label it with the date. Cue 1 of that list is our scene number, say 101. Cue...

    Coming from Light Jockey and Onyx, I find the solo function really useful. I was really surprised when I took the Eos class and asked about it and found out it doesn’t exist. It seems like a super simple feature to implement.
