LAYERQ earns its place in the aescripts library by turning manual comp duplication and render queueing into saved layer sets that render in one click. It's a version 1.0.0 initial release from TOKI Projects, focused squarely on layer set management for After Effects.
LAYERQ is an After Effects tool for managing layer visibility and batch rendering. You save layer visibility configurations as named sets per composition, then recall them without duplicating comps by hand. Live Preview uses After Effects' native Solo property, so you can check a set before committing to a render.
Rendering runs from a single click through Render All or Render Selected. An Add to Queue Only mode handles batch rendering across multiple shots, and cross-comp queue stacking lets you build a queue spanning several compositions. Each set can carry its own render settings, including Output Module, Render Settings, and file name templates. Hierarchical precomp support extends the workflow across nested compositions.
Set definitions persist via a comp marker, keeping configurations tied to the composition. A Set Solo mode supports focused editing, and the interface is bilingual in English and Japanese. LAYERQ requires After Effects 2022 or later and runs on macOS and Windows, with listed compatibility through After Effects 2026.
LAYERQ is best for after Effects artists who juggle multiple layer visibility variations of a comp and want to render them, including nested precomps, without duplicating comps or queueing each one by hand.
LAYERQ is completely free to download and use.
LAYERQ supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023, and the developer lists After Effects 2022 or later as the baseline requirement. It runs on both macOS and Windows. Because it uses After Effects' native Solo property for its Live Preview and stores set definitions in a comp marker, it builds on the host application's built-in features. If you're on a release older than 2022, check the developer's page before installing to confirm your build is covered.
LAYERQ runs on both macOS and Windows, and the developer lists After Effects 2022 or later as the minimum version, with compatibility through After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023. Its interface is bilingual, offering English and Japanese, so you can switch to whichever language suits your setup. Layer set definitions persist through a comp marker, which keeps configurations tied to the composition itself. For the current version and any platform notes beyond this, the developer's page is the place to confirm details before you install.
LAYERQ is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms, any usage conditions, and confirmation of how it's distributed, check the developer's page, since those details can change over time. The tool covers layer set management and batch rendering inside After Effects, including saving named visibility sets, previewing with Solo, and rendering every variation in one click. This is version 1.0.0, released as the initial version, so it's worth reviewing the developer's page for the latest status.
LAYERQ stores its set definitions through a comp marker, which keeps them attached to the composition. You save layer visibility configurations as named sets per composition, and the tool supports nested compositions through hierarchical precomp support. Alongside storage, it offers per-set render settings covering Output Module, Render Settings, and file name templates, plus a Set Solo mode for focused editing. Render All and Render Selected work with one click, and an Add to Queue Only mode supports batch rendering across multiple shots with cross-comp queue stacking.
