LayerQ is a layer set management and batch rendering tool for After Effects. It lets you save layer visibility setups as reusable sets, so one composition can hold many variations of a design, such as different languages or colours. You can preview a set instantly with Solo, and then render every variation in one click, including nested precomps. That removes the old routine of duplicating compositions by hand and queuing each render one at a time, which is slow and easy to get wrong. Updated Aug 21, 2026.

FAQs

What kind of work is LayerQ best for?

It suits projects with many versions of one design, such as language variants, colour options or size variations, where each version differs by which layers are visible.

Does it work with nested precomps?

Yes, LayerQ includes nested precomps when it renders variations, so sets can reach layers deep inside your project structure.
