Stroke


    This effect creates a stroke or border around a mask or along a Bezier path. You can also specify stroke color, opacity, and spacing, as well as brush characteristics. Specify whether the stroke appears on top of the image, on a transparent image, or if it reveals the original alpha channel. To use a path created in Illustrator, copy the path and paste it into a layer in After Effects.

    The Brush Hardness option specifies the edge quality of the stroke, between hard and soft. Spacing specifies the spacing between stroke segments. Paint On specifies whether the stroke is applied to the original layer or to a transparent layer.
