Vectro loop in AE

Hello everyone, I am planning to do an infinite loop with some of my VECTOR illustration, but in a nutshell: I don’t know how I’m after effects.

Being VECTOR images, I basically made a “inception of illustrations”, so I have the main image contains ALL the other images inside, but you need to zoom in around a 1000% to see the second one, and another 1000% to see the third one hidden in the second one and so on…

The loop is supposed to be like this:

- Image 1 full screen
- zoom into a small detail until you start to see the second one
- keep zooming for the third image and so on, until you start again from the first image.

Is there a way to do this, and if yes, how?

Thanks for the help!

 

(Please help me as a total ignorant in AE, so please use a step by step process!)

I think I am way to noob for also this simple suggestions (which by the way I thank you all for).
I am TOTALLY new to AE and have zlose to zero time at the moment, that is why I was hoping for a noob-prof step by step instruction.

I will try anyway!

Parent each image to it's preceding image and then just scale the images?

Start by actually reading the online help:

 

After Effects User Guide

 

Otherwise we can't really tell you much without actually seeing the artwork. Could be as trivial as animating a bunch of scale keyframes and enable continuous rasterization, but could just as well be that you need to split up your images and re-create the illusion with multiple layers in AE. and of course there could be any number of issues like running out of memory with super large AI layers and so on. Anyway, and no offense, without you reading the help and learning some basics this is not going to be a productive conversation, so by all means do that reading and watch some tutorials and come back with specific questions if you can't resolve issues.
