Emulate photoshop stroke outline with videoplane border

I'm going for a manga style layout with multiple videoplanes, and looking for a simple way to put a thin black border around each videoplane. So far I'm using jit.gl.node to combine a slightly scaled-down image videoplane @layer 0 with a black videoplane @layer 1. It's unwieldy to use and seems overkill.
edit: going with jit.gl.pix multiply...

Sooo.. where is your solution? Sorry but i have a particular gripe with questions being solved but no answer posted. Bad internet etiquette imo... Think about the futurepeople! Negative karmapoints for you good sir :)

Also not sure what you mean by going with multiply? So you're still stuck with two videoplanes?

Anyway here's my solution.
