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

    Being able to assign effects to tempo masters. For example I tap on tempo master 1, an int-fx switches light on and off in time, an focus-fx moves in quarter of that time. https://community.etcconnect.com/control_consoles/f/what-s-your-idea/27985/live...

    I would like to specify a jpg to be used as a drop. It would look like a curtain in terms of manipulation but show a jpg that would have it's intensity and color modified by the lights shining on it.

    I do a lot of copying and pasting of MS objects. I keep having to select an object and mouse over to the target ID field to change it. It would save a lot of time if selecting an object and then typing a number on the keypad would automatically change...

    I know you guys cant pass up the opportunity to 1 up Act Lighting! ;) If this is a little performance intensive, an option in the graphics menu would suffice, and maybe just include it in the PC version of the software. Really like the tool so far, very...

    When making edits to a fixture, it would be useful if in addition to the "save fixture" option there was a "save as fixture" option that would save a NEW fixture type. Right now, if you go to edit a fixture and you realize AFTER making edits that you...

    This seems like it's already on someones list, but just in case it's not... since we can label the faders, it would be useful if we could see the label of the faders when a fader is Global fx or Manual time. When busking I usually use several Global fx...

    I'd love the ability to copy and paste commands in the macro editor window. From within the same macro, and from another macro to another macro. I'd like to be able to learn a macro and copy those functions into another much larger macro.
