Sorry, you can only reduce stage as you have noted.

You must move all elements manually, however you can move them all at once:

1) Unlock all layers

2) Choose Edit Multiple Frames

3) Select Onion All from onion skin item

4) Perform a Select All

5) Drag (with mouse) or reposition (with arrow keys) all elements at once.


I recommend you do this on a backup copy until you get the hang of it.
