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've been working on a show for the last few weeks where i was using my iPad to be able to make edits from all over the auditorium. However I realized when I went to update a cue, there was no "Trace" button (and I didn't see one in the Softkeys either...

  • record augmented snapshots records the visible state of each augmented element

    Hello, it would be convenient to get different augmented snapshots with different augmented visible elements (for exemple, only stage and pipes for the working time, then the whole venue for the show time, or get snapshots for different sets)
  • Constants in absolute effects

    The syntax like "Update part 2 through cue 178" gives an error. Currently it seems like such a cue update requires two steps, update through cue 178, then in blind putting those lights into part 2 in the current cue. Would be awesome to specify a part...
  • channel-level go to cue

    • 1 Comment
    I often need to make a change in blind (or a bunch of changes in a range of cues) but we'll also be running long cues or multipart cues or have some other reason we can't do a global go-to-cue. That reason could be we're flying through cues and making...
  • Please add 'Zoom Out and Zoom In' to the ML controls

    • 0 Comments
    The ML controls always take up way too much space when you split screen the monitors. You have zoom capabilities in practically every other window, it would be great to make the ML controls smaller. I typically share the screen with a magic sheet having...

    Working in a multi user environment, being the house light designer, I wish it could be possible to group x number of cues inside a colored frame so that everyone can understand blocs of cues working together. I find that scenes attributes are not visual...
