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

  • Storing rate and size values modified by faders

    Hi, I would like to able to store in the cues the size or rate of an effect while modifying them by a fader
  • [Load] + [Go]/[Back] to load pending cues

    • 0 Comments
    This would essentially be a Go/Back-Shortcut for the pending cue. Allowing us to quickly skip to a cue without having to type it in first. Sometimes you have to skip one or more cues quickly, but you still want the marks to happen for example.

    Hi, it would be amazing to have new palettes! Keys already exist on the desk. Maybe a shortcut like [Beam Palette] + [Shutter] = Shutter Palette These palettes could be nested in Beam Palettes? Like MA Lighting

    You could add in option in the offset tool that says "order all the fixtures as they are ordered in argument3d". I think that´d be one of my favourite options in eos.
  • MSC TX ID per Cue List

    Assign an MSC TX ID on a Cue List Basis so that a cue list can be dedicated to a particular destination rather than having to set it globally for all MSC sends.

  • VMS Update

    • 0 Comments
    The advancement of integrated graphics on the new Intel and AMD chips seems like a great opportunity to add some features to the VMS. I would love to see 3D pixel maps built within Eos in addition to complex shapes much like what Enttec ELM can do.
  • PSD notes window refinement

    • 1 Comment
    Would be lovely to have the Notes window a bit more elegant; make the note stand out more from the cue number and label in front. Sometimes it’s hard to seperate the two at a glance. also, have the font size and pending cue toggle live somewhere on...
  • CSV Advanced Patch Export

    • 0 Comments
    Hi It would be uber useful to be able to do a patch export and type a group in. So I could just export Patch Data for Group 1 for example. Rather than having to remember lots of random channel numbers! I'm aware there is still a bug with advanced...
  • Macroable Format / Hold Format Button

    • 5 Comments
    From what I can tell, there is no current way to use macros to set the live/blind channel display format to a known state, without using snapshots or other trickery. There is a "/eos/key/spreadsheet" command listed in the manual, but it seems to error...
