  I'm experienced with Illustrator though very new to After Effects and having big trouble with the most basic of things.
  
  What I'm trying to do is that basically I have a huge HD map and I want to show a path in part of this map. I've successfully got it scrolling just where I want it in the Viewport that I see, however when I export the entire map is exported, not just the section I was zoomed into.

  In doing this, I don't actually want to reduce the image resolution and the rest still has to 'exist' as the path will scroll there.
