When making an animation how can I get a zooming effect? I want to add a transition to one of my animations that gives the impression of the camera rushing/zooming towards the animation. Is there a better means of doing this in After Effects than scaling all of the elements onscreen up until they screen is filled?
It's an effect you see in a ton of animated infographic-style videos at the moment, but I am new to After Effects and am not sure about the best way to replicate it.
Drag your composition (in the project window) onto the Make new Composition button, everything inside that first composition will be added as one layer in the new composition. Now you can just zoom this one layer!

(Say your original comp. is called 1. You drag 1 onto the button. Now there will be a New Composition comp. with one layer inside. This layer is called 1.)
