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 know this is something along the roadmap somewhere, but I haven't seen it listed in the new feature requests feed and figured it should be moved here as well. We'd love to see password or 4-digit pin-style protection ability for eos consoles. Regarding...

    Finally trying out FPE in the real world. It's a very large space so the margin of error is very high making it not a great test case and sending my lights all over the place. I know FPE is still very much a "in theory" process as it becomes refined....

    Basically what the title says; Being able to label a macro that then gets executed by a cue list and having the label show up in the PSD. Same for effects, I would love just seeing "Lightning Burst 2" show up in the FX column.

    Hi Currently working on an Eos based working light system with a magic sheet interface. I propose being able to record the fader position into a cue as well as the values of the units involved. This would allow some of the working light "states" to...

    Hey there, I would like to be able to scale objects with scenic elements. There is a curtain assigned to a scenic element. Would be great to fade between "closed" (normal) and "opened" (scaled in Y to be thin). I hope this explaination is understandable...

    Could we get marking for said effects if they are set to fade via rate? It would move the fixtures to a starting-position, similar to starting a focus-effect with a rate of zero, but respecting mark timing. Maybe this could be done via a Softkey or...

    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...
