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

    Hey there! I am a 15 year old Lighting Programmer, everyday, I am learning something new, and I have learned more recently about unwanted changes to an Augment3d model and cue lists. Currently, our high school is doing a theatre production and we had...
  • Feature Request A3D - Show Only Selected Lights in Patch

    • 0 Comments
    When working in A3D it seems like sometimes it would be useful to toggle off all the lamps in A3D except what you are working on. So that it is easier to view the lamp you are working on, particularly with conventional focus
  • Fixture profiles

    • 4 Comments
    I stumbled upon a way to remove unwanted extra parameters from a fixture profile, by reusing a parameter that is already in use, but this seems to be both clunky and somewhat hit & miss. Unless I'm overlooking something can there be an additional tool...

  • CIA Color Picker Customization, Feature Request

    • 0 Comments
    Being able to default the CIA to have the Color Picker instead of the Browser is great, but currently you are stuck with the default CIE xy and Gel Picker. It would be great to be able to choose what is displayed there, for example having the Spectrum...
  • Allow load of multiple cues from 1 list to multiple faders. 1/1 1/2 1/4 1/6 etc..

    • 0 Comments
    For full manual control of cues in non sequential playback. Any look at any moment. Not enough subs.. had over 400 last show lots of loading and unloading.
  • Show the current cue live without manual data

    • 0 Comments
    Showing the cue as it was and as it will be to the LD currently involves either storing the changes somewhere or deleting them then undoing the delete. Staging mode has made me think we could copy manual data to it allowing a one step before and after...
  • Change origin point of inserted objects

    • 0 Comments
    Hi, please may we have the option to change the origin point of an object from the default centre of the object. Would make placing items on the floor (and on top of each other) much easier. Thanks
  • Make fully customizable fixture build names sequence etc.

    • 0 Comments
    Alot of the time fixtures don't exist from film world. And being forced to select from default lists adds time to build your own. Please give us a blank slate. We add name sequence and limits ranges etc. So we know what we are controlling.
  • Record Minus Sub

    • 5 Comments
    Correct me if this already exists but I’d love to have a record minus sub option. Obviously there’s some workarounds like double tapping (select active) to select non sub active and pressing record or making all subs exclude from record, but I think just...
