Is it possible to stroke an image and hide the original art from showing?

Hi all,

To clarify what the subject line is asking. I would like to know how I can bring in a shape made in Illustrator, apply a stroke to that shape, and hide the shape from view so that only the stroke is visible. Much like how in Photoshop you can apply a Layer Style and then set that layer's Fill value to 0 so that you only see the effects of the Layer Style and not the original artwork on that layer.

Is this possible?

 

So far everything I've tried that hides the original image, also hides the stroke.

It is exactly the same process as in Photoshop: right-click on the layer and choose layer styles > stroke:

 

 

In the timeline set the stroke properties as you like, in the layer styles > blending options, set the fill opacity to 0:

Sure, just disable the Fill property

That seems great for shapes drawn in After Effects, but I don't see a fill property on any images I import into After Effects. Does it exist somewhere else in the interface for these types of objects?

Are you converting your AI graphics to shapes first?
