How to scale keyframes in Motion 5

Hi. I have a project, for example 5 seconds. It is complex 2d animation with a lot of objects, I spent certain time to set all keyframes, but now I need to slow down all clip. Now it should be 7.5 seconds with still same framerate, I just need to scale everything in Timeline. I want to just stretch it to keep proportions between frames. If any proportions will be moved not so precisely I can adjust some of them quickly but I want to stretch whole project in timeline, not moving and adjusting all objects, each keyframe several hours.

Just cannot understand if it is possible, cannot find how to do that. Can anybody help please?

Motion 5, iOS 11.2

I'll try to explain.

Select all of your objects in the layers list and open the Keyframe editor (bottom right corner of the canvas - the icon with 3 diamond shapes [yellow arrow].)

Click on the icon point to by the red arrow ("Fit visible curves in window").

Click on the icon point to by the green arrow ( Transform Keyframes tool)

Drag a selection around all your keyframes - you should see a rectangle with control points on the corners and midpoints.

Drag the right side control point (orange arrow) to set the retime of all keyframes at once.

Thank you very much! Not sure if it will stretch also duration of each layer on timeline but scaling keys is 95% of work!
