Hi I need help with editing lines, I want to create a tapered end however whenever I try to edit the Stroke options nothing happens. I've attached a video of the issue.

Thanks.

Hopefully I did it correctly,

It's a live paint group. You need to expand that first before you can apply variable width strokes to it.

You must change your brush to "Basic" in order to have those oprion work.

I need the certain brush that I am using though to get a certain effect.

Also, I see the Basic tool brush but whenever I select it and then go paint, it doesn't retain my brush selection, it just goes back to 3 pt. Oval which is the brush that I am using. I can't select the Basic brush at all otherwise it'll revert back to the old selection.

@chris701 has pointed to the issue. Only Basic, Pattern and Art brushes can have variable widths. Perhaps you can make an art brush that looks similar to your current brush?
