Adobe Animate: Adjusting Canvas Size

Two Methods for Canvas Resizing

There are two effective methods for altering the canvas size in Adobe Animate. This article will guide you through these methods to help you customize your workspace effectively.

Method 1: Using Animate CC

In Animate CC, you can manually define the canvas dimensions by setting the width and height values. For instance, you can specify a canvas size of 720px X 650px.

Method 2: Resizing Stage Dimensions

Alternatively, you can adjust the stage dimensions without shifting it to the left. To do this, you can use a formula that divides the canvas size by the stage scale. For example, if your stage is wider than the content, you can apply the formula: ObjectX = CanvasWidth / StageScaleX.
