    Hi Im using AE CS5.5. For some reason Im unable to use the the brush, eraser, rotoscope and clone stamp tools. When I click on them in teh toolbar or even use teh short cuts their respective pointers do not appear.

    Any insight into this will be really helpful.

    Those tools don’t work in the composition, but the individual layers. Double click a layer to open it up in it’s layer window. Click the tool you would like to use now and apply it in the layer window.
