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

  • Disable Ctrl+Space Back with Alt+g

    • 0 Comments
    The Alt+G spacebar Go disable should also disable Ctrl+spacebar back. If you are doing something such as building a magic sheet and copy/pasting and it’s possible to accidentally hit Ctrl+space when wanting to Ctrl+C/V.
  • A3D Indication of Shutter Blades

    • 0 Comments
    It would be great in Augment3D to show which shutter is which. Perhaps this is a letter indication on the selected light, showing on a surface or at the focus level of the light? I think ideally it would be a setting like Sticks, and settable per user...
  • Macro on Fader Button

    • 1 Comment
    Hey, would it be possible to Label Macros when on a button of a fader? Like shown fader 10 has macro 6 on a button and in macro config it is named. Would be easier because then you do not have to remember what macro 6 was. Thanks Lars

  • [Select] Hard Key Allow Selection for Editing/Changing - Specifically Direct Selects

    • 1 Comment
    I've started using Custom Direct Selects a lot more, and I have found that when I want to change the layout, or move or delete something from the custom direct select, I have to go back into the custom direct select editor. This really slows down workflows...
  • Macro Color Chips - Add Blue as a Color option for the color swatch

    • 0 Comments
    Sending this in based on some tradeshow feedback. While this would only work for Apex due to the oLED, it could also showup correctly in the Direct Selects on a screen for non-apex console. This could either ripple across all of the Eos software, or just...
  • mark whenever i want despite automark

    • 0 Comments
    as title says from my experience, that's one of the weakpoints in eos. Automark is efficient to not lose time, but this shouldn't forbid to sometimes get the mark somewher else, as soon as possible or whenever i want. Why does it have to be OR automark...
