    Hi there

    Basically i have created a canvas of 50x40cm in photoshop with many layers in, now ive animated that in after effects but decided i want the animation to pan down, and so need to enlarge the photoshop canvas to 50x60cm……however the problem is that when i add the 20cm it puts out all the other settings in the animation, so everythings been moved 20cm. ive tried adding the extra length from the centre and the bottom and top, nothing works………there must be a way…..surely!

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi.
    Well, I think you don’t have to go back to Photoshop, with you animation comp open click “Ctrl + K” to change the comp size and set the new size.

    Or drag this animation comp into another bigger comp and animate it as you wish.

    I think it’s what you need.
    If I’m wrong, please let me know.

    Big hugs from Brazil

    Hi i see what you mean, but the problem is i want to add more in the photoshop canvas….

    Like say ive got some mountains made in photoshop and i want to make the taller, when i make them taller in photoshop it puts everything out in after effects. If i make the compositon bigger in after effects i cant make the mountains bigger, that has to be done in photoshop………does that make sense?

    cheers
