    You are in Paint Selection mode. It's the sub-selection icon in the Properties Panel

    Then you're painting on the same layer as the video.  Add a new layer.

    It will only let me draw in 'Object drawing mode' but this makes it awkward because every different brush stroke is then a different object. And i cannot fill in objects with the paint bucket tool. Why won't it let me paint with the normal brush drawing tool?
