Why we like it

Now discontinued, WQ Pro filled a narrow niche: triggering a script from a double-click on layers. Its final update in July 2024 added multiple-layer support.

What is WQ Pro?

WQ Pro is a utility for After Effects from Terrible Junk Show. It detects a double-click on layers and executes a script when that happens. As of version 1.1, the tool supports multiple layers. WQ Pro has since been discontinued.

The plugin reached version 1.1 on July 5, 2024, which added support for multiple layers. The first release, version 1.0, arrived on June 14, 2024. The changelog documents these two releases. WQ Pro lists compatibility with After Effects 2024, 2023, and 2022.

A demo video is available for anyone who wants to see the utility in action before deciding. Since the tool is discontinued, refer to the developer's page for current details on availability and licensing. It is listed here as free.

Frequently asked questions

Does WQ Pro work with After Effects 2024?

WQ Pro lists compatibility with After Effects 2024, 2023, and 2022, so it is documented to run on those three versions. If you are on one of those releases, it falls within the stated range. Keep in mind the plugin has been discontinued by Terrible Junk Show, so newer After Effects versions are not listed among its supported releases. For anything outside 2024, 2023, or 2022, or to confirm the current status, check the developer's page.

Does WQ Pro support multiple layers?

WQ Pro added support for multiple layers in version 1.1, released on July 5, 2024. The initial 1.0 release from June 14, 2024 came before that change, so multiple-layer handling arrived with the later update. The tool's core behaviour is to detect a double-click on layers and execute a script. Since WQ Pro has been discontinued, refer to the developer's page for the most current details on its features and versions.

Is WQ Pro still available?

WQ Pro has been discontinued by its developer, Terrible Junk Show. Its last recorded update was version 1.1 on July 5, 2024, which followed the original 1.0 release on June 14, 2024. Because it is no longer offered, availability may be limited, and the developer's page is the best place to confirm its current status. It lists compatibility with After Effects 2024, 2023, and 2022 and is documented to detect a double-click on layers and run a script.

Is WQ Pro free?

WQ Pro is listed here as free, but since the tool has been discontinued by Terrible Junk Show, its current availability and licensing may have changed. The best step is to check the developer's page for up-to-date information before relying on it. On the functional side, WQ Pro detects a double-click on layers and executes a script, with support for multiple layers as of version 1.1 on July 5, 2024.
