Cut out people and offset stroke effect to roto brush
Hi – I’ve got some quick cutouts of people I need to do – like the current trend of cutout people in the corner of social videos. I’ve shot them on plain backgrounds but rotobrush seems very slow and clunky when compared to something like CapCut. Additionally I would like to add a stroke, and specifically an off-set stroke, to the person like in the attached image.
Do you think AE is still the best tool for this? Thanks

I feel in my bones like there’s a better way to do this, but… try this:
- Rotobrush your subject
- Add a Simple Choker and set the choke value to -100
- Auto-trace the layer based on alpha
- On the new layer, apply the Vegas effect and set it to Mask/Path

Hey, thanks for the reply. Yeah I also feel like there must be an easier way / plug-in to do this. I just wasn’t sure if I was missing something obvious in AE
Thanks
