Question

Brush tool only making dots

I am trying to do a scribble effect for a music video I am working on but When I try to use the brush tool in After effects to create strokes, lines, etc., the brush only makes a dot and doesn't follow through with my mouse. Any way to fix this? I think i might be doing something wrong but nobody else seems to have this issue.

    I am having the exact same issue with all my project files now (I believer right after the recent update). I cannot make proper strokes with any brush tool (eraser, brush, rotobrush, etc) & it only makes 1 dot.

    I have been unable to find any answers or fixes yet.

    A lot of people who updated to AE 15.1.0 -- the newest -- reported the same problem.  Apparently the update broke some functionality.

    If you have neither the time, the inclination nor the tech know-how to fix it yourself, you can always revert to 15.0.1 and wait for the bug fix.

    Check your settings. Check the help files. Paint is not necessarily intuitive.
