Stroke for After Effects

It isn't easy to add a stroke to layers in After Effects like it is in Photoshop. The native Generate > Stroke effect requires a mask but that doesn't work for layers with alpha like precomps or an imported SWF.

You can add Stroke layer style but you need to twirl down a million properties and, once you're there, the controls aren't very intuitive.

What is Stroke?

A pseudo-effect preset for After Effects, makes it easy to manage your Stroke layer style.

Preset Reminder

Remember, this is not really a plug-in. You'll need to install the preset by adding it to your After Effects Presets folder:

Windows

Adobe After Effects 20XX/Support Files/Presets

Mac

Adobe After Effects 20XX/Presets
