Perhaps the most flexible way is to use an image (see attached) or video with an alpha channel and an outline already applied.
The image above is actually solid black around the outside and the text is 100% transparent with a solid white outline. I created this bitmap easily in Xara Designer, a piece of software I wholeheartedly recommend although you can achieve the same in AE.
This will give you this when composed over another layer in Resolume.
You can then apply (certain) effects to the text layer. If you want to apply more extreme effects make sure the black is padded to bigger than the output or the masking will break.
NB. the Resolume clip mask feature removes the white outline (i.e. it just looks at the alpha channel) so I think two layers is the minimum for this effect unless you completely can the effect.
