You could also do a layer trace on the alpha of the keyed girl, to give you a mask to which you could add a stroke/fill.

Thanks for your responses, I really appreciate it although I’m not even sure where to begin. I assume I will need a couple layers of the girl keyed out but I’m not sure how to achieve that without using a green screen. Here is the link to the video and what I’m trying to replicate is when during the freeze frame of the characters a silhouette appears and grows from their heads.

Effect @ :25 seconds, 1:24, 2:24 etc.

Thanks guys!
