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

    {Query} [at] # should return all instances of that level even if that level comes from a palette or preset.
  • Allow Users to Configure Default Wheels in Fixture Profiles

    • 2 Comments
    Only manufacturers can set default wheels for fixture profiles, this needs to be exposed to the user. Default wheels for the rep fixtures, making a profile from scratch, correcting a broken default profile all require exposing this to the user. The...
  • Flash for NIP

    • 0 Comments
    Since i am doing a lot of rectangles on my current tour, i thought about having a flash-option for shutter-blades could be nice. So i can see how big the current Spot is an where the center is. Because running all the Shutters out by hand is troublesome...
  • Allow Queries Without Executing The Selection

    • 0 Comments
    Small annoyance, but I'd love to be able to (for example) Query Dark Moves @ Enter as one command instead of executing the query and then the command.
  • The position materials in the effect can be recorded into the focus template.效果里的位置素材可以被记录到焦点样板中。

    • 0 Comments
    我们可以一些对称的焦点效果获得不错的造型,我需要把这些造型记录在我的焦点样板中进行使用。 Edit by eos.moderator after a conversation with OP: The OP's request is that parameter values generated by effects are recordable while the effect is still applied to the parameters. His workflow...
  • Feature Request: Copying or creating a new fixture in Fixture editor should automatically select new fixture

    • 0 Comments
    When making a copy of an existing fixture or creating a new fixture in the fixture editor that fixture should be automatically selected in the editor. Current behavior is that the new/copied fixture is created but the currently selected fixture remains...
  • You should be able to change the visibility of A3d query folders

    • 0 Comments
    It's very useful, for instance, to gather, all the conventionals into a Query folder, or all the moving lights, or all of FOH, etc. I would love to be able to click that folder and turn all the objects inside of it visible or not visible by using the...
  • Allow Show Control Events on Analog open or close

    • 0 Comments
    Eos can detect open and close as shown by sub bump, it holds the bump down on contact close, and releases on contact open. I would like to be able to trigger Macro x on contact close, and Macro y on contact open.
  • A3d: Zoom to Selection + Beam

    • 3 Comments
    Zoom to selection is only kinda somewhat useful: Most of the time I care more about what's coming out of the light than the fixture itself. A zoom to selection + beam (showing you both the fixture and the beam) would be much more useful. Mac, b...
  • Differentiate Targets with Trailing Zeros

    • 5 Comments
    Group 0.1 should not be the same as group 0.10. If I'm using the 0.# system to record groups based on areas, the system breaks down when I have more than 9 areas, since area 1 and area 10 need to store into the same group. Just like in software, version...
