PQ Type Boi earns its place for pairing a browsable panel of over 120 type arrangements with a control layer that keeps color, line width and timing edits in one spot. Its compatibility list runs from CS6 through After Effects 2026.
PQ Type Boi is a panel-based collection of over 120 pre-animated type arrangements for After Effects, built by Peter Quinn. The UI panel lives inside After Effects and shows animated thumbnails you can browse; clicking one generates a comp ready to work with.
Each generated comp includes a control layer, so parameters like color, line width and animation delay can be adjusted without twirling through individual layers.
Compatibility spans a wide range of After Effects versions, from CS6 through the 2026 release. Version 1.0.4 updated the licensing framework, building on earlier work that universalized expressions for non-English language support, fixed a Windows panel-loading issue, and resolved a case where only eight comps appeared after licensing. The plugin is listed here as free, so check the developer's page for current licensing.
PQ Type Boi is best for after Effects users who want pre-animated type arrangements they can generate and customize from a panel.
PQ Type Boi is completely free to download and use.
PQ Type Boi lists compatibility across a broad span of After Effects releases, from CS6 up through After Effects 2026. The range in between covers CC, CS6, CC 2014, CC 2015, CC 2015.3, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, and the 2020 through 2025 yearly versions. The original description mentions AE CC2018 and later, while the full compatibility list reaches further back to CS6. If you're on an older build, check the developer's page to confirm the version you're running is covered before installing.
PQ Type Boi generates a comp complete with a control layer whenever you click a thumbnail in its panel. That control layer is where you adjust parameters such as color, line width, and animation delay, so you can make changes without twirling through individual layers to find the properties. Browsing is handled through animated thumbnails in the UI panel inside After Effects, letting you preview arrangements before generating one. The setup keeps the adjustable parameters grouped on a single layer.
PQ Type Boi is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing terms can change, so the developer's page on aescripts is the place to confirm the current arrangement before you download. On the licensing side, version 1.0.4 updated the plugin's licensing framework, and an earlier update adjusted it to support macOS Catalina and above. If licensing behaves unexpectedly, note that a past fix also addressed a case where only eight comps appeared after licensing.
PQ Type Boi includes universalized expressions for non-English language support, added in an earlier update so the arrangements work outside English-language setups. That release also carried minor expression improvements. If you run After Effects in another language and something behaves oddly, the developer's page is the best reference for current details. The panel itself displays animated thumbnails you browse and click to generate comps, and that workflow stays the same regardless of the interface language you use.
