Selecting and modifying paint tools (PB only)


    You can select options for painting in various locations: the Vector Paint toolbar, the contextual menu, the Effect Controls window, and the Timeline window. You can also choose how your painting work appears on screen as you create it. For more information on setting work views, see Selecting viewing options (PB only).

    The Vector Paint toolbar appears in the Composition window when Vector Paint is selected in the Effect Controls window. This toolbar includes ten buttons when a painting tool is selected, but only four buttons if no tool is selected. For information on the functions of these buttons, see Selecting a painting tool (PB only), Specifying a Brush type (PB only), and Editing your paint work (PB only).

    Note: The Vector Paint contextual menu contains some unique commands and settings that are not otherwise accessible. Open this by clicking the Vector Paint toolbar button (the Vector Paint toolbar button) or by right-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking (Mac OS) in the Composition window when a painting tool is selected.
