I can dig it. Usually ppl only bother batching through PS when it is something unique to PS. Obviously Gauss blur is in AE so you need look no further. You just probably have to pre-comp the layer after adding blur so the auto trace will read it as a complete rasterized image with the blur on it.

Nick,
WHy go through the hassle of running it through PS? Just blur the footage. Precomp the layer then do the auto trace.
Steve,
Yeah, Pathfinder type actions is what I was thinking would be great in AE. Especially to deal with the auto-trace creating so many masks. Or an auto trace option to combine the masks ala Pathfinder.

Steve,
Because I’ve been learning C4D all week, my head is cloudy: Is there not a away in AE to merge the masks in some fashion? Kind of like boolean operations in 3D.

As far as 3rd party effects, Trapcode’s Particular will allow you to map other layers as sprites to the particles.

If you use the auto trace in AE, it will probably create a lot of masks. You will have to set the feather and expansion on each one.

Cool! Yeah in each app there is always some parameter that effects how much it deforms and that usually can animate a ribbon to grow.
Also remember another approach it to make it a finite size and have it travel and morph along a curve.
