Hi Potato Queen! Thanks for your question.

I understand 🙂 There’s not a direct way of doing that in the current release unfortunately. We are working on it – and we’ll have a great feature for this in a future release.

However, to help you now, if you need to just shrink everything towards the center of the frame, you can do it this way:

1) Go to the menu File > Scene Settings… And change your resolution as follows…

2) If you want to make more room around your drawings, say 120% (aka 20% extra), then you multiply your resolution by 1,2. I don’t know your current resolution, but as an example, if it is HD 1920 x 1080, you type in 2304 x 1296 (i.e. 1920 x 1.2 and 1080 x 1.2). Make sure to choose the option “Crop/Center” and click OK. All your frames and layers will now have the extra space around it.

3) You can now scale it all back to your original resolution, by going to Scene Settings again and select (or type) your original resolution (like HD 1920×1080). This time make sure to use “Keep Aspect” and click OK. Voila! 🙂

Remember, in Animation Paper, you can change resolution, scale and rescale all you want, without any degradation or blur happening to your lines. No worries 😉

Let me know how it goes and if your have further questions!

Thanks,
Niels
