LAYERQ v1.0.0 for After Effects

The Ultimate Batch Layer Management and Organization Tool for After Effects

Download LAYERQ v1.0.0 today. Consequently, you can instantly organize, rename, reorder, and manage multiple layers across your entire project with a single, powerful interface. Because professional motion designers and compositors frequently work with complex compositions containing dozens or even hundreds of layers, having access to an efficient batch management tool is absolutely essential. Nevertheless, manually renaming, reordering, and selecting layers in After Effects is a tedious, repetitive process that consumes valuable creative time. Fortunately, LAYERQ eliminates this bottleneck completely. Moreover, it provides a comprehensive suite of batch operations that let you manipulate multiple layers simultaneously, maintaining organization and consistency throughout your project. In short, you can streamline your entire layer management workflow with unprecedented speed and precision.

Powerful Batch Renaming and Naming Conventions

The core of this script lies in its ability to automate layer naming across your compositions. For instance, you can apply custom naming conventions to selected layers, adding prefixes, suffixes, sequential numbers, or replacing text patterns in bulk. Furthermore, the script supports find-and-replace operations, allowing you to update naming schemes instantly across multiple layers. Additionally, you can save naming presets for common tasks, ensuring consistency across projects and teams. Since the entire process is non-destructive, you can experiment with different naming approaches without affecting your layer content. Consequently, your project organization remains clean and professional at all times.

Advanced Layer Selection and Filtering

Efficient management begins with the ability to quickly select the right layers. Therefore, LAYERQ includes powerful selection and filtering tools. For example, you can select layers by type (text, shape, solid, footage, precomp), by color label, by name pattern, or by any combination of criteria. Furthermore, you can invert selections, add to selections, or filter by specific attributes such as visibility or lock status. Additionally, the script supports saving selection sets for quick recall in complex compositions. Thus, you can isolate and manipulate exactly the layers you need, no matter how crowded your timeline becomes.

Comprehensive Layer Organization and Reordering

Beyond naming and selection, LAYERQ offers robust organizational features. For instance, you can reorder layers in bulk, moving selected layers to the top, bottom, or any specific position in the stack. Furthermore, you can group layers into precompositions with a single action, or move layers between existing precomps. Additionally, the script supports batch color labeling, making it easy to visually categorize layers by function or type. Since all operations can be undone, you can work confidently and iterate freely. Consequently, you can maintain a perfectly organized timeline throughout even the most complex projects.

Perfect for Motion Designers, Compositors, and Production Teams

This script is particularly well-suited for motion designers working on complex compositions with numerous layers and elements. Similarly, compositors and VFX artists will appreciate the ability to quickly organize and manage layers across multiple precomps and nested structures. Additionally, production teams and studios can use LAYERQ to standardize naming conventions and organization across their entire pipeline. Ultimately, LAYERQ v1.0.0 accelerates your entire motion design and post-production workflow.

Layer set management & batch rendering tool for After Effects. Save layer visibility configurations as reusable sets, preview instantly with Solo, and render every variation in one click — including nested precomps. No manual comp duplicating, no manual queueing.

LAYERQ saves layer visibility configurations as reusable sets and renders every variation in one click — no manual comp duplicating, no manual queueing.

Save Layers as Sets

Select layers, save them as named sets, and switch between variations instantly. Set definitions are stored in the comp marker and persist across project sessions.

Live Preview

See how each set will render before committing. LAYERQ uses After Effects’ native Solo property — so you can always clear the preview manually from the timeline if needed.

Set Solo Mode

Focus on the layers in a specific set during editing by hiding others with shy mode. Stay distraction-free while working on a variation.

Hierarchical Precomp Support

Sets work across nested precomps. Define visibility for layers inside child compositions — LAYERQ recursively handles duplication and rendering across the entire comp tree.

Render All in One Click

Hit ALL to render every set at once, or SEL to render just the selected ones. LAYERQ duplicates the necessary comps to a temp folder and adds them to the Render Queue automatically.

Per-Set Render Settings

Assign individual Output Module presets, Render Settings presets, file name templates, and output folders to each set. Customize how each variation is exported.

Bilingual UI

Full English / Japanese interface. All alerts, dialogs, and tooltips are translated. Language preference persists across sessions.
