Answers.Text: Not what I'm talking about here. Nice video though, but it doesn't address the problem of using a graphics tablet. The moment I do that, the tool becomes the paint tool with an empty white circle, not the rotobrush tool which is a green circle with a plus sign or red minus sign if you press alt. Rotobrush works fine with the mouse, but apparently you can't use a graphics tablet with anything but the paint or pen tool.

  I'm having a lot of trouble making this work. I select rotobrush tool, I put my pen down on the graphics tablet and suddenly I'm painting instead of rotobrushing. Why is this happening? Also it happens again even when I try to use the mouse instead. The rotobrush tool is selected, yet the effect is paint.
