Drag a marquee around the tweened objects and their motion paths.

4. Scale the selection by dragging the corners of the bounding box containing the selected objects and motion paths.

Because the playback head is in the first frame of the tweens, the scaling applies to all tweened frames. No new property keyframes are created.
