Create a composition with a low frame rate. Nest the composition containing your footage layers in this lower-frame-rate composition.
Or, you can use the Posterize Time effect, which is a bit simpler but a lower-performance method.

My workflow is to render and export from the After Effects render queue to a losslessly encoded master file, and have the destination of that master file be a watch folder for Adobe Media Encoder. Then, Adobe Media Encoder picks up the master file and encodes it to my various output formats.
By using the After Effects render queue for the first phase, you can take advantage of Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing, which can make a big difference when you have a lot of processor cores and a lot of RAM to feed them.

You can create a lot of vector graphics in After Effects without ever going into Illustrator, so I don’t think that you necessarily need to start with Illustrator first.
