I made a path in Illustrator and scaled it really big so I could get minimal pixelation when zoomed in/scaled in After Effects. When I bring this path in After Effects though, the amount of the path that I can I apply an effect to (like a stroke) is limited to, I'm assuming, the size of the artboard. What can I do to get around this?

The path I made is a beat type thing that is like what is on the top of Winamp. (]]]]]] 0 [[[[[[) <-kinda like this. I want to zoom in through the middle of the middle circle, but when I scale it to do this, major pixelation occurs when I get up close.

I don't know if any of this makes sense to anyone, forgive me if it doesn't. Thanks.
