Answers.Text: How do I do that?
  When I try to copy and paste it on the text layer, all it does is create another path layer.

Body: <p>I am trying to do this tutorial:
  <div class="youtube-embed"><div>
                  <iframe width="640px" height="395px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uevdBElf80E?start=0"></iframe>
              </div></div></p>
  
  <p>When I try to change the Brush Size of the Stroke via the left panel (the guy in the video does it at 2:04 - 2:09) it does not cover the text (PIC 1), it only covers the text when I use the "Stroke Width" in the Upper Bar (PIC 2).
  Am I missing something?</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/qa8kg.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://i.sstatic.net/qa8kg.jpg</a> (PIC 1 and 2)
  I am using Adobe After Effects CS6</p>

  That happens because in the video path is added to the Text layer, but you have it on separate shape layer.
  
  Try to move you path to the text layer.
