About LAYERQ

LAYERQ is an After Effects utility for organizing layer visibility and automating batch renders. Users create named visibility sets per composition, which are stored via a comp marker attached to the project. Live preview leverages After Effects’ native Solo property, and a Set Solo mode enables focused editing. Rendering options include Render All, Render Selected, and an Add to Queue Only mode for processing multiple shots. The tool supports cross‑comp queue stacking and hierarchical precomp handling, allowing render settings such as Output Module, Render Settings, and file name templates to be assigned per set. Its interface is bilingual (English/Japanese) and runs on macOS and Windows, requiring After Effects 2022 or newer, with confirmed compatibility through After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023.
