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

    So right now a cue list can be locked to a list, but it would be useful to be able to lock it to the Master Fader pair. Currently working on a show with lots of cue lists and would like for one of the cue lists to always be locked to the master fader...

    It’d be very helpful to have the option to add a selected channel to a partition when selecting it, rather than just editing it outside of the partition.

    I use a lot of different 3D programs. Augment3D is the one I find most frustrating in terms of navigating my view around a 3D scene. By far, the easiest way to do this kind of navigation is to use 3DConnexion's SpaceMouse. Might it be possible in the...

    It would be fantastic if when editing a magic sheet, you could click on a channel and at the bottom of the settings (next to interactive) there was a button to be able to toggle data to be all relative or all absolute. Useful to see where the zactrack...
