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

    Ability to make an 'instance' of a cue, to set and update multiple cues based off the instance at once. Would be useful for blackout cues - if a light is updated to turn on backstage, updating one cue and having Eos handle updating the rest would save...

    Make it easier to change colors in the magic sheet. Two suggestions: Change the top row of color selection to be "white," "blacK" and the last six colors I chose manually. Use the ML color picker to choose a color (including the swatch books, so...

    Hey, Extinguish mode has proved very useful since its introduction but I wonder if it's function could be expanded a little. First off, It would be great if it didn't grey out the master playback OLED's on an Apex, these aren't bright anyway, but would...

    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...

    It would be useful for Effect Tiles in Direct Selects to be hi-lighted for appropriate selection sets rather like other palettes selections work at present.

    Hello It would be great if I could change the stacking order of a layer on the fly - I often have the need to fade between a number of different images, and since I am limited to 12 layers I have to do some messy trickery once I get past image 11 to...
