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

  • Option to Stop Intens Effects During Highlight

    • 3 Comments
    When I highlight a fixture, it's very annoying if it and/or other fixtures keep flashing. You can use the highlight and lowlight presets to squash strobe, but not effects. And because highlight rem dim only affects intens, you can't even stop strobes...
  • Option to remove Virtual Intensity from Master in Multi-Cell Fixture

    • 0 Comments
    Due to the number of LDs and Programmers I know who prefer to patch all cells as individual channels rather than use Multi-Cell Fixtures, even though it often doubles the total number of channels in a show (or more), I think it's fair to say that the...
  • Query Query

    • 0 Comments
    What if Query Query acted like select active, so it would filter to non-sub channels. IE: Query Query @ full would grab all chans at full filtering out the chans getting their value from a submaster.

  • Alert times triggered by external Q triggers

    • 1 Comment
    Hello, This is a request from a trainee. They are running a show where cues are triggered by a mixture of manual Go presses, and OSC triggers from automation, and are finding it irritating that their alert times are only running if the cue is triggered...
  • Keyboard shortcuts for camera views

    • 0 Comments
    In most 3D softwares, there's keyboard shortcuts for switching from top, side, right, etc. views. It's clumsy trying to navigate around when I can't quickly access the top view. Check out the Blender keyboard shortcuts. Maybe they need to be CTRL+[#]...
  • Ability to record the values/position of faders into a cue.

    • 0 Comments
    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...
  • Using Windows Commands Copy, Cut, Paste

    • 1 Comment
    It would be very helpful if we could use the Windows-style commands Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V to copy text in lists like for example the Cue list.
  • Feature Request: Option to make auto mark mark earliest

    • 2 Comments
    In most cases, moving lights could move to its position, but automark forces it to the cue before the change happens. It would be great to have the option to make the move as early as possible.
