Re: How To Resize Animated GIF's All At Once?

If you look in the frames window, you will see that each frame has a gray 
box on the left.  Click that gray box by the first frame and the last frame 
to turn on onion skinning.  You'll know if it worked because there will be 
two little icons, one pointing up and the other pointing down, with a line 
connecting them through all the onion skinned frames.

I have seen people say you can resize an animated GIF in Fireworks without 
doing it one frame at a time, but nobody says exactly how. Maybe I'm missing 
something simple, but is this possibe and if so, how do you do it?

 I tried using the forum search but it didn't find any results.

 I'm using Fireworks 9.0.1.1213 if that makes a difference.

If you modify the canvas size via Modify > Canvas > Image Size, all frames
will 
be resized.

 To modify individual elements on the canvas across all Frames, use Amy's 
advice.

 But from the sounds of it, you're just trying to resize a GIF. If so, just use

Modify > Canvas > Image Size and you should be okay.

Here is a non-destructive way of resizing GIFs: 

 1. Press Ctrl-Shift-X to bring up the Export Preview window;
 2. Click on the File tab and scale your animated GIF using either percentage 
or pixel values.
 3. Click Export and give the new file a unique name. 

 This way you get a resized GIF and keep the original animation unchanged, 
which comes in handy sometimes. 

 While you are at it, you can also optimize your resized GIF in the Export 
Preview window if you wish. Just click on the Options Tab and experiment. ;-)
