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

  • Store More Complex Data In Timecode Clocks

    Hello, Recording fader moves is a staple of time-coded light design and Eos can't record them. It's absolutely impossible in this software. The problem is that it's an event list. That the biggest problem. It needs to be a timeline with x and y, not...
  • Support Displaying Non Manual Level in Magic Sheets

    Macro command `Display_Non_Manual_Level` does not affect magic sheets, but it would be very useful if it did.
  • Submaster property that will ignore [StopEffect]

    • 0 Comments
    As a (frightfully common) example, haze is run from a submaster with an effect. I'll put the sub up and forget about it and off we'll go cueing. Hours later we'll get to the cue with the simple request "and here all the effects will stop." Easy enough;...

  • Do Not Show Flash in Command History

    • 0 Comments
    Flash On Flash Off is not a useful thing to post to the command history. Certainly not every time I flash the same channel. It scrolls the actually useful information out of sight. I don't want to see it at all, but if we must, just show it once or "Flash...

  • Multi Touch in magic sheets for selection and operation of soft faders and [shift] key

    • 0 Comments
    Would it be possible to enable multi touch on magic sheets beyond simple navigational tools? It would be great to be able to control multiple soft faders simultaneously or have a functioning [shift] key on screen for the rapid creation of ombre colour...
