There is no video.

It sounds like you are drawing with the brush tool and try to apply a width profile. This is not supposed to work. If you want to apply a width profile, draw with the pencil tool.

Please show a before and after screenshot, so we can see what settings are using, and where exactly you are changing width profile.
