Hi.

I created a whole animation on a scene of a given lenght.

I want to reduce this lenght, without touching the scale of the objects, then move all the objects to recenter them (knowing that, unfortunately, the general anchor is at the top left and not in the middle.

The problem is that by selecting everything (either by selecting all layers with cmd-A, selecting all frames with cmd-A or by going to Edit > Timeline > Select all frames), everything seems to be selected but only the objects visible at the cursor location move...

How to proceed?

    Best would be to select all your layers, right-click and choose Convert Layers to Symbol which will wrap them into a Graphic container. You can then easily transform this container.

     

    If this is not an option for some reason, use the Edit Multiple Frames feature.

    Because you have not enabled Edit Multiple Frames.
