Hi does anyone know how I can get the fill and stroke bar at the top of the panel? I need to make a stroke line connecting the texts Like here (attachment), I dont know why i dont have it.

(The youtube videos top toolbar layout is how I want it) But I really have no idea, I tried tweaking with the window setting, but I can't find the setting that enables it.

Make sure no layer is selected, and then select the Pen tool. In the above screenshot, you have not selected the Pen tool.

Let us know if this helps.

 

Thanks,

Think that it is because you have a layer selected in the timeline and AE thinks that you're going to create a mask. Please deselect any layers in the timeline.

When I deselect them the toolbar still doesn't appear.
