[@fronproductions3527]

Very useful info. I am looking to do touch ups on a content aware filter. How do I draw and stamp over the entire composition I have made thus far.

[@MikeMurphyCo]

I'm not 100% certain what you are trying to do, but you may find it helpful to create Pre-Comps (nested Compositions) and just repeat the steps for using the Brush Tool.

[@sandiflow]

Thanks! Can you doodle and paint without a video layer?

[@MikeMurphyCo]

Yes! Create a new solid layer Change to Paint Workspace (easier) Double-click on Solid Layer to open Select Brush in toolbar Select brush size and color Change to 'Write on' for animation or 'Constant' to just doodle. Hint: If the solid color is black and you doodle in white, you can change the blend mode to Screen and the black will disapper. 👍

[@sandiflow]

@@MikeMurphyCo thank you! I will try that.

[@DavidFaxon]

When I double click and open a layer, it still doesn't let me paint, or even select the brush for that matter. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[@MikeMurphyCo]

What type of footage layer are you trying to paint on? Try another media file such as a still image or video to test it out.
