Looks like I need a shape layer with a Mask Path.

Here’s an image of the starting point in Adobe AE from the Thicc Stroke tutorial. Please include all the basic steps, I am not very good at Adobe AE. But I’m at a loss as to what to create in Adobe AE that needs to be selected in the “Layer Export To” dropdown before clicking the “Apply Export” button. Is the export of the stabilization data different for a path than it is for stabilizing an Adobe AE sequence? I do understand that for stabilizing a sequence you want to check the “Invert” box under Create Track Data and for creating a path you would create a new Mocha project and track what you want to and then select the Mocha Pro layer with the track data and make sure the “Invert” box is unchecked before clicking on the Apply Export button. How do I get the track data from Mocha Pro to create the path rather than transform data? I can create good planar stabilization track data with Mocha Pro which I use to stabilized video sequences in Adobe AE. In Adobe After Effects, Thicc Stroke uses a Layer with a Mask Path.

I know I need to use Mocha Pro to create the track data and import that into Adobe After Effect as a path. A lot has changed in Adobe AE and Mocha Pro and I can’t remember the process I used to create the animated path. I know this is possible because I have done it a couple times before (2 years ago).
