Instead of jumping in intervals when zooming, I'd very much prefer a smooth means of zooming to go along with the smooth panning we have. Its one of the experience pleasantries I have with other apps and wish it were in AE as well.

Its nice for when dealing with details. Roto, checking key edges, etc.

@TaranVH: It could still be pixelperfect at the current "integer" zoom-levels. The zooming could also work with 5% steps or something. So both parties would be satisfied? – And say hi to Linus, you built a great media channel 🙂

I want this too. Or other custom amounts!
Or even better, smooth zooming via mouse, which you can then lock / reselect easily.

I find it odd that we still cannot enter a custom zoom percentage for viewing our composition. Especially in an era where you can use your tablet as a second screen, it would be ideal to zoom in a specific amount for masking and animation. Clearly, it is possible, because selecting "fit" will give a very specific percentage. Yet, for some reason, it remains impossible to ask for a specific percentage yourself. Would very much love to see this feature.

I don't know why it's still a problem!

It only takes one hour for only one of Adobe programmers to implement such a useful feature!

Zoom - can you please add the same zoom functionality that you have in Illustrator? Where you can click, drag and zoom in/out? That would be ideal. Better functionality across programs.

This is just silly. For designers (adobe's target market) we need to be able to preview the design on the screen at the actual size it will print.View>actual size does not work for this as every monitor has a different resolution. For example, my 220mm composition is 250mm when I choose zoom>actual size.

I think this all depends on the size of your window, have you tried the 'Fit'-option?
