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

  • Allow FX values to be recorded into Palettes

    • 0 Comments
    Right now this is only possible with a workaround, having the FX stopped and with its exit being a stop and hold and stopping the effect. But this has issues in and of itself, and we should be able to just record the "pink" or light yellow value (from...
  • selective merge in A3D

    • 0 Comments
    I see there are questions popping up here and there, including mine about selective A3D merge as we have in patch. This would be extremely useful for merging objects from one model to another. Thank You

  • OSC Fader Improvments

    It would helpful also to get some configuration data from the Faders, e.g. labels of the "Fire" and "Stop" button and also the "Fader Type" like Master, Effect Size, Effect Rate ... Maybe something like: /eos/out/fader/<index>/<fader index>/config which...

  • Grabbing a focus handle should post the channel to the command line and make it selected

    • 3 Comments
    There may be good reasons to not do this that I'm not thinking of but... If you're in Control mode and if you've got a moving light on and you're showing focus handles, right now you have to select the light on the command line first, and then grab...
  • Magic Sheet tombstone

    • Planned for Future on
    • 1 Comment
    The Magic Sheet tombstone should be modified so that it matches the Live Summary tombstone. In particular: Color swatch should not go behind the intensity value (so intensity colors still work - green, blue, white, magenta, etc) Same thing for...
  • Encoder Mapping Swap (Top) and (Bottom)

    • 0 Comments
    I'm really excited about Encoder Mappings; I'm currently updating my base showfile with all the new features. Currently the encoders map (Left) to (Right), but expanding to show the dedicated encoders on the Eos shows that the (Left) most encoder will...
  • Feature Request: Background Image Rotate

    • 0 Comments
    It would be super useful to add the ability to set a 2D rotation on images used as backgrounds in magic sheets. Currently, I have to edit a photo outside Eos in order to rotate it 90° etc. Having the option to do that the same way we can change scale...
