Infinity Zoom Motion Implementation Issue

Hello,

 

I’m working on a project in After Effects where I use vector layers to display Scene 1, then zoom in on a specific focal point in Scene 1 to transition into Scene 2.

However, I’m running into the same error shown in the screenshot I uploaded.

 

I’ve tried two methods

1. Zooming via the layer’s Scale keyframes

2. Enabling 3D on the layer and zooming in with a camera

but both produce the identical error.

 

How do others typically create this kind of “zoom into the artwork” effect without exceeding After Effects’ frame‑size limits?

My composition resolution is 3840 × 2160.

Thank you for any tips or workflows you can share!

Thank you for answering my question. It prompted me to investigate the problem more deeply.

What are the dimensions of the art work you are trying to zoom in on?

I usually only see this error when working with effects that add to a layer's dimensions like the tiling one (motion tile, repetile, etc.)

Currently, no effects have been applied separately; I’m working entirely with Transform and Path keyframes. By default, all objects are at their initial size within the 3840 × 2160 frame.
