I've never seen this happen, but it might be because the brush images 
change IDs when you copy the brushes into the mainstack. Instead of 
doing that, remove the brushes substack and try selecting "brushes" in 
the standalone builder. That will make sure the IDs are correct.

If you are using an older version of Revolution, "brushes" were not 
included in the SB. I think they were added in 2.9.
