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

  • Pixelmap ability for any attribute

    • 1 Comment
    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...
  • Export Icons Folder

    • 0 Comments
    Importing Icons has been a great feature, but once imported there is no way to export them. I think we should be able to export our Icons folder and a folder of Icons used in the showfile, similar to exporting Show Pixel Map Media, for easier backup...
  • Expand Search (Shift+About) Locations

    • 0 Comments
    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
  • Better resolution on magic sheet screenshots

    • Planned for Future on
    • 1 Comment
    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.
  • Custom Direct Select > Command

    • 1 Comment
    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...

  • Add a Softkey selection option for Custom Direct Selects

    • 0 Comments
    When creating a Custom Direct Select and you select Button and Console Button appears; it would be very useful to have another option for the Softkeys in this same location. This would allow the creation of a Direct Select which has a Softkey function...
  • Macro - Wait for Up (for lack of a better word)

    • 0 Comments
    Case: Macro 901 (for instance)- being assigned to a Direct Select or TK 10 or any of the buttons on the consoles that have buttons that are assignable. I would like to be able to press on the macro and have it fire then pause and not wait for input...
  • Fader Config Advanced Merge

    • 0 Comments
    When merging Fader Config, there should be an option in Advanced settings to merge individual faders or fader pages. Example, merge only faders 30/1 thru 38/10
  • Icons in Front of Labels on Direct Selects

    • 0 Comments
    It would be great to have a checkbox in the tab settings for Direct Selects for whether Icons are shown behind or in front of Labels. With them currently behind Labels I am finding it very hard to see the Icon even at 100% Opacity Thank you, Steven...
