There is a way to do this; unfortunately, it's not an
automatic feature
like in Photoshop. The approach you'll need to take is to
update the
document dimensions (basically, the canvas size) as desired,
then use the
Edit Multiple Frames button on the lower left of the Timeline
panel to
manually move all assets on the main timeline. To do this,
you'll have to
make sure all layers are unlocked. To do this quickly, click
the
Lock/Unlock All Layers button at the top, between the eye and
the square
buttons, until you see that all locks have been removed (one
or two clicks
will do it). In the Modify Onion Markers button next to the
Edit Multiple
Frames button, choose Onion All. Select Edit > Select All,
then use the
arrow buttons to move your assets.
