OH MY GOD THANK YOU. I have been looking for the auto trace in AE. I had no idea that existed and I've been trying to find out how to get really cool stroke animations in my videos. Keep up the great work!

This is really handy. I have vector logos, so I wasn't exactly sure how to go from there at first, but figured it out and it worked! Yay! My client is a construction contractor so they wanted it to look like it was hand drawn. So I did this above and then added the roughen edges effect, and Boom! Voila! Thanks!

Thanks for the guide - very useful. I would just say to some who are maybe not as advanced on After Effects (like me) that you need to make sure certain settings are correct on Autotrace - for me, 'Apply to New Layer' was not checked or on as a default. Similarly, 'Preview' was also not checked for me as a default on the Autotrace window. Make sure these are selected or you'll end up like I did - banging your head against the wall for hours wondering why your Stroke won't appear on the Shape Layer.
