How do I do a slow, massive zoom out?
I’m at the end of my rope.
I’m trying to illustrate how hard it is to find a few objects among 5,000 for a project I’m working on.
I created vector images in illustrator, but when I pull those into after effects I lose resolution.
The closest I’ve been able to come to succeeding is exporting the graphic that has about 5,000 symbols (1280 x 720 p) from illustrator into a massive psd file (12,000 +px).
I’ve imported the psd file into premiere pro, and (slowly) was able to get the zoom that I wanted. It’s about 30 seconds long. The preview looks good, as long as I’m patient and give it time to render but when I go to export the whole thing crashes. Now I can’t even open up the project even though it was working fine earlier. Am I just out of luck? Is there no way for premiere to work with a file that size? If I can get a preview that I like, why does it stop at about 45% every time I try to export?
Any help is appreciated.

Vector images in AE don’t lose resolution. Make sure you have the collapse transformations box checked in the layer.

Thanks Brett!
Hooooly crap that worked! Thanks so much! So simple!
I imported the illustrator file as footage, merged the layers, checked the box, and voila!
Two days of screwing around with premiere, and photoshop, and ginormous files, and all I needed was to check a little box.
Thanks so much for giving your time to those of us who are learning.
